Dental fillings
Fillings
A filling does more than repair a cavity — it protects your tooth from deeper damage. When decay is removed early, treatment is simple, predictable, and helps you avoid bigger concerns down the road.
We take time to explain what we see, why a filling is recommended, and what the process looks like. The goal is to keep your tooth strong, relieve any discomfort, and restore function with a natural look and feel.
Why fillings matter
Cavities don’t heal on their own. When decay progresses, it can lead to pain, infections, cracks, and the need for more extensive treatment. A filling removes the damaged portion of your tooth and seals it — restoring strength while keeping the healthy structure intact.
Most patients are surprised by how quick and comfortable the appointment feels.
What to expect
We start with clear explanations and numbing to ensure comfort. After removing the decay, we clean and shape the area before placing a tooth-coloured material that blends naturally with your smile. Once polished, the tooth looks and feels stable again.
Before you leave, we review simple home care tips and answer any questions about what comes next.
