A dental filling is used to restore the functional integrity of missing tooth structure. The structural loss typically results from tooth decay, cavity, bacterial infection or external trauma. A filling can also be used for replacement of missing tooth structure that is supported by dental implants.

Heathcote Dental is committed to promoting safe, non-toxic methods in dental health care, and awareness of the many ways it impacts a person's health. We advocate achieving all the goals of modern dentistry while always choosing the safest, least toxic techniques, including mercury free dental fillings and safe replacement of mercury fillings.
