I broke my front tooth years ago. It had been repaired but changed colour with time. The dentist at Maida Vale Dental Practice did a great job at recreating a perfect front tooth, giving me a perfect smile :)
I've been coming to Maida Vale Dental for years and have trusted them with all my dental work from routine check ups to my Invisalign journey. The dentists and staff here are some of the best you could find - kind, attentive and experts at what they do. I could do not recommend Dr Narwal and her colleagues enough. After a disappointing aligner treatment with another company, Dr Narwal arranged an amazing Invisalign, whitening, bonding and aftercare treatment plan for an amazing price and the team at Maida Vale dental still provide their expert knowledge and attentiveness to my checkups to this day. Every appointment with them is an enjoyable experience and I still get compliments on my teeth today! 10/10 would recommend!
I’ve been with Dr Leung for many years, he is the best Dentist I have meet before, very knowledgeable and very polite.I definitely recommend him to everyone looking for the best Dentist!
The staff was friendly, they had a very clean and safe office that I was seen in and also very accommodating with my needs.I would recommend their invisiline treatment as well, was more professionally handled then other practices Ive been to.
I Had a check up, teeth whitening and some other treatments with Dr Nisha Narwal. Very thorough Dentist explained everything and gave me all the options for my treatments. Also her reception and nursing staff are very friendly and welcoming. Very happy patient . I Would highly recommend this dental surgery. 10/10 on all levels .
When a tooth is decayed, a filling is necessary to remove the decay or, if it has been damaged or chipped, to restore it to its original shape and appearance.
What types of filling are available?
White fillings
White fillings or composite fillings blend in with your teeth, creating a totally natural look. They are an alternative to amalgam or ‘silver’ fillings. They are popular because of the cosmetic benefits they provide and advances in the materials used have made them durable.
A plastic resin composite is used in a white filling in a shade chosen to match your own tooth so that it blends in with your surrounding teeth. White fillings are bonded to the tooth enamel after the decay has been removed.
Silver amalgam fillings
They are perceived as being harder wearing but advances in the materials used in white fillings make them comparable in terms of durability.
What does the treatment involve?
It will depend on the amount of tooth decay to be removed, but a filling could take up to an hour and X-rays will be taken if needed. All the decay is then removed from the tooth until the area is clear and ready to hold the filling.
Is the procedure painful?
You will be given a local anaesthetic which will numb the tooth, gum and surrounding area to make sure you are comfortable throughout the procedure. You should avoid chewing afterwards as it takes a while for the numbness to wear off.
