Dental fillings
A filling restores a tooth after decay is removed, helping prevent further damage and keeping the tooth strong. When cavities are treated early, the process is simple, predictable, and comfortable.
Our approach focuses on clear explanations, gentle care, and making sure you understand each step before we begin.
What fillings help with
• Restoring strength and function
• Helping prevent deeper infection
• Supporting long-term tooth health
Why fillings matter
Untreated decay can spread into deeper layers of the tooth, leading to pain, infection, or the need for more complex treatment. A filling stops the progression of decay and helps preserve your natural tooth structure.
If you’ve noticed sensitivity, dark spots, or food getting trapped in certain areas, a filling may help restore comfort.
What happens during the appointment
We begin by numbing the area, removing decay, and shaping the tooth. Once the tooth is clean, we place a tooth-coloured filling material and polish it for a smooth, natural finish. You’ll be able to bite comfortably, and the tooth will blend in with your smile.
Through every step, we explain what we’re doing so you feel informed and at ease.
