At the Barker Dental Practice, the first stage for any patient is a discussion with one of our expert dentists about any concerns you may have followed by a thorough examination not only of your teeth but also of your entire mouth including your gums, jaw joints, and associated muscles. This assessment will allow your dentist to create an individualized treatment plan to remedy any dental health problems you may have. In addition to this, our dentist can advise you on the different ways to enhance the appearance of your smile. |

Fillings |

Fillings are
used to rebuild tooth structure which has been lost either
through decay or fracture and to replace defective old
fillings. Silver amalgam has been used
to restore teeth for about 100 years, but with the advent
of tooth coloured composites, fillings can now be created
which copy the colour and translucency of the different
tooth layers. As composite is bonded to the tooth,
the structure of the tooth is stronger and less drilling
is required than in a tooth filled with silver amalgam. The
use of composite filling material provides durability as
well as being virtually indistinguishable from natural
tooth.
