General Dentistry Rochester

Fillings

Cavities in your teeth need to be repaired and restored using a filling. This is a common form of general dentistry. We can provide amalgam fillings as part of NHS treatment or the more popular white fillings, which are colour-matched to the rest of your teeth so that they naturally blend in. 

Regular dental check-ups form the basis of general dentistry and are the most common reason that our patients throughout Rochester, Gillingham, Chatham, and beyond visit us. General dentistry forms the backbone of what we do. By looking after the teeth, gums, and mouth of you and your family, we aim to protect your health and oral hygiene for life.

At Eastgate Dental, it is our mission to practice a preventative approach to caring for your teeth. By taking good care of your teeth now, we aim to minimise the need for costly treatment at a later stage.

You should aim to see your dentist and your hygienist every 6 to 12 months, depending on the health of your teeth and gums. If your teeth and gums are in good condition, your dentist will let you know if you need a less regular check-up.

Whether you’re an NHS or a private patient, regular check-up appointments usually follow the same format. Our expert team will talk to you to determine if you’ve had any problems or changes with your oral routine since your last appointment. Your dentist will assess your teeth and gums. They will typically count the number of your teeth, check on the condition of your teeth, and for signs of wear and tear, they will check to see how your teeth bite together, for signs of decay, the condition of any fillings that you have, as well as checking for any signs of gum disease.
