Although prevention is always the goal, tooth decay can sometimes develop despite diligent oral care.
A cavity, cracked, or broken tooth needs timely restoration with a filling to protect it from further damage and to keep bacteria out.
Our fillings are designed to be durable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing. Using advanced composite materials, we can seamlessly match the colour to your natural teeth, ensuring your smile remains healthy, confident, and beautifully natural.
Dental fillings are materials used to restore teeth damaged by decay. They help repair the tooth, prevent further decay, and restore normal function.
Common filling materials include composite resin (tooth-coloured), gold, and porcelain. Your dentist will recommend the most suitable option based on your needs.
Dentists usually numb the area with a local anaesthetic, so you should feel little to no pain during the procedure. Some sensitivity may occur afterwards, but it usually resolves within a few days.
The lifespan of a filling depends on the material used, the location of the filling, and your oral hygiene. Composite resin fillings may last 5–10 years.
Maintain good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing regularly, and attend routine dental check-ups. Avoid chewing very hard foods with the filled tooth to help extend the life of the filling.
