Treatment
Fillings
Cavities or minor tooth damage can lead to bigger problems if left untreated. At MSA Smile we use natural-looking, durable fillings to stop decay and restore form and function.
What is a dental filling?
A filling is a restorative treatment that removes decayed or damaged tissue and replaces it with filling material to protect and repair the tooth.
Filling types we use
- Composite (tooth-coloured) — aesthetic and widely preferred
- Ceramic fillings — durable and stain-resistant
- Glass ionomer — fluoride-releasing, often used for children
