Treatment summary

Fillings are essential to restore teeth affected by decay, wear, or damage, ensuring that your smile stays healthy and strong. Our practice offers a range of filling options, including traditional silver amalgam fillings, modern tooth-coloured options, and composite materials that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.

Why you might need filling

There are several reasons why a filling might be required:

  • Cavities caused by tooth decay.
  • Cracked or chipped teeth that need to be repaired.
  • Worn-down teeth due to grinding or ageing.
  • Filling holes left by old, worn fillings.

The filling process

We ensure your comfort throughout the process with the use of local anaesthetic, numbing the area where the filling will be placed. Our dentists take great care to remove any decayed or damaged portions of the tooth before applying the filling material. This procedure is typically quick and effective, and most patients experience minimal discomfort afterwards.

Types of fillings we offer

  • Amalgam fillings: Durable and long-lasting, these are ideal for teeth at the back of your mouth where appearance is less of a concern.
  • Composite fillings: A tooth-coloured option that blends well with your natural teeth, ideal for visible areas.
  • Ceramic fillings: Highly durable and stain-resistant, providing an excellent option for more aesthetically demanding cases.

Benefits of fillings

  • Restores the tooth’s strength and functionality.
  • Prevents further decay and damage.
  • Tooth-coloured options ensure a natural appearance.
  • Minimally invasive, with most patients able to return to their daily activities soon after.

Aftercare and maintaining your fillings

Once your filling is placed, it’s essential to take care of it by maintaining good oral hygiene and visiting the dentist regularly. While fillings are designed to last, they may need replacement over time due to wear. Regular check-ups will ensure that your fillings are performing effectively.
