About the Treatment

Dental fillings explained

A dental filling restores a tooth damaged by decay or trauma. Decay is removed and the cleaned cavity filled with restorative material.

Composite (tooth-coloured) fillings match the surrounding tooth shade and bond directly to the tooth. The most common option for visible teeth.

Amalgam fillings are a silver-coloured alloy — durable and may be recommended in certain clinical situations for back teeth.

Most fillings are completed in a single appointment under local anaesthesia. Some post-operative sensitivity is common for a few days.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

We will discuss all treatment options, including associated costs, to support your informed decision-making.
How long do fillings last?+
Composite fillings typically 5–10 years. Amalgam can last longer. All fillings eventually need replacement.
Will the filling be visible?+
Composite fillings are tooth-coloured and blend with the surrounding tooth. Amalgam fillings are silver and visible.
Is the procedure uncomfortable?+
Fillings are placed under local anaesthesia. Some sensitivity for a few days after placement is common.
What happens if I don't get a filling?+
Untreated decay progresses — it will not resolve on its own. Over time it may reach the nerve, requiring root canal treatment or extraction.
