Fillings compared – which is best for your smile?

Toothache and the need for a filling

We know what it's like. A tooth starts to hurt, you ignore it, but the pain only gets worse. Eventually you realise you need a filling.

Choosing the right type of filling

There are many types of filling – amalgam, composite, porcelain, gold… The choice can be overwhelming. Each has its advantages and disadvantages.

Get to know the different types of filling

Amalgam fillings are very durable but do not look attractive. Composite fillings can match the colour of your teeth perfectly, but may not be as durable as amalgam. Porcelain and gold fillings are expensive, but they can last a very long time and look great.

The difference a filling can make

Think about how toothache affects your life. Now imagine what life will be like once you have a filling: no pain, no discomfort – just a beautiful, healthy smile.

Benefits of choosing the right type of filling:

  • Relief from pain and discomfort
  • A more attractive smile
  • Protection of the tooth against further damage
  • Greater self-confidence thanks to a healthy smile

Choosing the right type of filling is the key to a healthy, beautiful smile. Remember that you can always consult your dentist to find out which type of filling will suit you best. Enjoy life without toothache.
