DENTAL FILLINGS

Repairing Teeth Gently and Comfortably

Dental fillings are a common way to repair teeth that have been affected by decay or minor damage. Modern fillings are designed to look natural, feel comfortable, and help protect your tooth long-term.

What Is a Dental Filling?

A dental filling is used to repair a tooth that has been damaged by decay or wear.
The damaged area is carefully cleaned and filled to restore the tooth’s shape and function.
The aim is to keep as much of your natural tooth as possible.

You may need a filling if:

  • A cavity (hole) has developed in a tooth
  • An old filling has worn or broken
  • A tooth is chipped or worn
  • You have sensitivity or discomfort when eating

Types of Dental Fillings

We offer different types of fillings depending on your needs.

Tooth-Coloured (White) Fillings
These are designed to blend in with your natural tooth colour and are commonly used for visible areas.
Patients choose white fillings because they:

  1. Look natural
  2. Bond directly to the tooth
  3. Restore strength and shape
  4. Other Filling Options

In some cases, other materials may be recommended depending on the tooth and clinical needs.
We will explain all suitable options before treatment.

What Happens After a Filling

After your filling:

  1. The tooth should feel comfortable once the numbness wears off
  2. Mild sensitivity can occur temporarily
  3. You can usually eat and drink as normal shortly afterwards
  4. We will give you clear aftercare advice before you leave.
