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 Smiles Centre dentist will carefully craft a natural looking filling that’s virtually indistinguishable from the rest of your teeth.
Our focus at Smiles 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.

For someone who was absolutely terrified of dentist. The moment I walked into smiles it felt relaxed and friendly there wasn’t any judgement.I would not go anywhere else Chris is my dentist he is lovely friendly full of knowledge and very patient explains everything throughout treatments, I actually look forward to visiting the dentist and seeing them all now. I also recommend to anyone looking for a dentist.

Great dentist and dental hygienist.<br>Staff on reception are always exceptionally friendly and helpful

The staff at Smiles Centre have always offered a supportive and expert dental service, but I discovered today that they are miracle workers. I presented with a very difficult tooth extraction and replacement problem, which needed to be resolved the day before the lab would be closed for two weeks. The receptionist juggled appointments to get me, Dragi extracted the tooth and the lab technicians managed successfully to add a tooth to my plate, in a position that seemed impossible to access. I am amazed, delighted and grateful in quality measure.

As always everyone was great especially Theresa and Kate - after arriving late with my wife (not happy!) because of traffic delays. The team at Smiles handled the situation brilliantly

Neha (the Hygenist) is particularly lovely, gentle and kind. She always checks all is well and is friendly, courteous and professional. The dental nurse was also very good, friendly and professional. They both put me at ease.
