Patients from a wide area, including nearby towns like Stourport and Bewdley, come to Foley Park for everything from a simple filling to a fantastic-looking new smile.

In the days when there was no alternative, amalgam or "silver" fillings were accepted and did an outstanding job. Where they have never performed well is in how they look. Our teeth are shades of white, so why would we choose to have shades of grey? Not only does an amalgam stand out, but it can discolour the whole tooth behind the enamel.

Amalgam fillings are a type of dental restoration that can be used to fill a cavity (hole) in your tooth/teeth. They used to be the go to material used in everyday dentistry for filling teeth. In today's modern dentistry amalgam fillings are used less and less and now the common type of filling we use is a white composite material.

Inlays and onlays are two types of restorations that your dentist can suggest if you have a cavity in your tooth that needs to be filled. An inlay is a small filling that fits into the biting surface of a tooth while an onlay covers a larger area of the tooth and is better suited to bigger cavities.
