What is Dental Fillings?
A dental filling removes decay from a tooth and rebuilds it with a tooth-coloured composite material that blends in with your natural tooth rather than standing out. A cavity is decay that has eaten through the hard outer enamel, and if left alone it keeps spreading until it reaches the nerve, which is when a simple filling turns into a root canal. It is one of the most routine things we do, usually finished within a single visit, with no downtime and no need to change your plans for the rest of the day.
Why Fillings Matter
Fillings do more than fix the immediate hole – a sealed cavity stops bacteria from reaching further into the tooth, which protects it from deeper decay and a future root canal. If a cavity has exposed a nerve ending, a filling also relieves the sharp sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet that often brings people in. Compared with a crown or an extraction, a filling keeps far more of your natural tooth intact and is usually the more affordable option when caught early, which is the real argument for not waiting once you notice a sensitive spot or see a dark patch on a tooth.
The Procedure
Using our step-by-step painless protocol, we numb the area thoroughly before removing only the soft, decayed part of the tooth, taking care to preserve as much healthy enamel as possible – there is no need to remove more than the decay actually reached. A gentle conditioning gel is applied to help the composite bond securely to the remaining tooth structure. The composite itself is placed and shaped in thin layers, each one set hard with a curing light, which lets us build up the right shape and match your natural tooth shade closely rather than leaving an obvious patch.
Aftercare & Longevity
Before you leave, we check and polish the bite so the new filling feels completely natural against your other teeth, not high, not catching when you chew. Composite fillings do not need any special care beyond your normal brushing and flossing, though we will always flag if a particular filling is under heavy bite pressure and worth watching at your next check-up. With reasonable care, a well-placed filling lasts for years, though tooth grinding or a very large cavity can shorten that, which we will tell you honestly at the time.
If you have noticed a sensitive tooth, a visible dark spot, or food catching somewhere new, it is worth having it checked before a small cavity becomes a bigger, more expensive problem. The cost of a filling depends on its size and the tooth involved, and we always give you that figure in writing before starting.

Common questions
How do I know if I need a filling?
Common signs are a sensitive tooth, a visible dark spot, or food catching somewhere new – sensitivity usually starts once decay has reached the dentin layer just under the enamel, which is the point most people first notice something is wrong. It is worth having it checked before a small cavity becomes a bigger, more expensive problem.
Are tooth-coloured fillings as strong as silver amalgam fillings?
Yes, for most everyday biting. Composite actually bonds directly to the tooth via the conditioning gel, which helps hold the remaining structure together, unlike amalgam, which simply fills the cavity shape without bonding to it. We will flag if a particular filling is under heavy bite pressure and worth watching at your next check-up.
How long does a dental filling last?
With reasonable care, a well-placed filling lasts for years, though tooth grinding or a very large cavity can shorten that. The edge where the filling meets your natural tooth is usually the first place wear shows, which is exactly what we check at your six-monthly cleaning.
Is dental fillings painful?
We use a step-by-step painless protocol for every procedure – a topical gel numbs the surface first, so most patients barely feel the needle that follows, then we work slowly with a check-in at every stage. Most patients are surprised by how comfortable it is. You can raise a hand and pause us at any time.
