Dental fillings
Dental fillings are used to fill a cavity (a hole that has formed in your teeth) or other damage such as a chipped tooth. Cavities get bigger over time and can progress to more complex concerns, so the sooner they’re spotted and filled, the less likely you are to have problems later.
These days, no one needs to know if you have a filling. Your Durban Dental Centre dentist will carefully craft a natural looking filling that’s virtually indistinguishable from the rest of your teeth.
Our focus at Durban Dental Centre is on preventative dentistry. During your routine oral health assessments your dentist or dental hygienist will flag any concerns they spot that may lead to cavities, advising a home care routine to focus on these areas before they progress.

I am quite anxious about dental treatment and find Anda to be very patient, understanding and caring when I’ve seen her. She always pauses to check if I’m ok and has a way of making me feel at ease

I had a broken molar which required repair/filling. Was not a patient of the dental Surgery but received excellent care - most important aspect of this whole experience was that i was seen within 3 working days.

Dr Ahmet was considerate and professional at all times (as he has been over the many years I have known him). The filling was not really a surprise. It was done swiftly and without anasthesia. a little pain but we both ploughed through that. Surgery Nurse and Reception Staff were supportive and helpful (change in Medication from Warfarin and Apixaban was carried out smoothly). I'll be back in6 months from Hygienist.

As a nervous patient, Jacob and the dental nurse made me feel totally at ease. Asking me if I’d like the procedure to be explained to me as they went along. General chatting and distraction from the radio. He was very patient and took everything slowly.
