Dental Practice In The Heart Of Dunfermline

Dental Fillings

Dunfermline, Fife

A filling restores a hole in a tooth caused as a result of tooth decay, losing a previously fitted filling, or having a cracked/chipped tooth. Fillings restore the tooth back to its original shape.

Our skilled dentists will remove all of the decay and plaque build up in the tooth and replace the hole with a long lasting filling material.

White fillings are made from tooth coloured resin that allows us to place them in areas of your smile where they have to match seamlessly.

At the Linden Tree Dental Lounge, we strive to support our patients to avoid decay wherever possible. This involves our dentist and hygienist giving lifestyle, dietary and fluoride advice and help patients to adopt beneficial oral hygiene habits.

Sometimes, however, we need to treat dental decay and at that time we would like to assure that your teeth are brought back to normal function and natural great looks.

Our patients and their smiles are very important to us, and therefore we will only use the most advanced white resin or ceramic filling materials along with the best dental techniques.

White fillings versus amalgam (metal) fillings

White fillings are now increasingly used over amalgam for mainly small to medium sized cavities as patients become more conscious of their great aesthetics. Unlike amalgam, they can be used not only to fill teeth, but also to change and improve your smile by changing the colour of your teeth or by altering their shape.

In comparison, the tint of metal of amalgam is frequently visible through the tooth structure that surrounds it and can stain the inside of the tooth permanently. Added to that, patients and dentists are becoming increasingly more aware of the implications of placing mercury in the mouth, although the risks to health are small.

Amalgam fillings can be very detrimental for the strength of your teeth. They do not ‘bind’ actively to the patient’s tooth and need to be pressed into undercuts. This means the dentist frequently has to take more healthy tooth away just to secure the filling. As teeth are made from a good amount of glass, these metal fillings can lead to deep fracture lines, broken cusps, and then larger fillings or crowns.

Making a positive difference, white fillings bind to teeth via a special ‘glue’ and can be safely placed in even shallow areas without extra tooth loss. In larger cavities they strengthen, rather than weaken, the tooth.

Having been in the NHS system for many years with the same dentist the practice went private and i was informed by a text which was not in my opinion the correct way to treat customers. This was the time to search for a dentist and i opted to try the Linden Tree as my wife had treatment done there and was very happy. After my first appointment i realised what id been missing all these years, from the cleaning to the dental work it was first class —-treated like a person and they talk to you and have the time to explain what they are doing or going to do, the dental work i had done was great and my mouth hasn’t felt this good for some time, money was well spent, you don’t realise what your missing with NHS until you go private —the Linden Tree are very professional and have all the up to date modern equipment, great people to deal with.

Staff went above and beyond when I needed a painful tooth removed recently. Moved things around to get me in quickly then gave first class service from the minute I arrived. Everything carefully explained to me including aftercare. Highly recommend. Thank you.

I am extremely anxious ( terrified),when it comes to dental appointments and have experienced panic attacks. The Linden Tree Dental Lounge is exceptional because the team have the understanding and the patience to help alleviate that extreme anxiety. The dentist allocated was Roger Gongçalves and he allowed me to take things at a pace that suited me. Reassurance, without pressure, which made a very uncomfortable situation bearable for me. Even though I still get very anxious,it isn't the same level of crippling anxiety that led to panic attacks. I can highly recommend The Linden Tree Dental Lounge if you are an extremely anxious patient who is terrified of dentists. I have been twice for essential treatments with great results and already booked my next appointment.
