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.

Having had a very complex root canal done on an existing Bridge, I cannot say enough about how excellent, professional, and above all how painless the experience was. Ahmet took the time to explain the best method in which to undertake this procedure making it easier for me to understand.<br>Highly Recommend.
