Overview
A dental filling repairs a tooth damaged by decay, restoring its shape and function. We use natural, tooth-coloured composite that bonds to the tooth and blends in invisibly, with no dark metal.
Benefits
- Stops decay and restores the tooth
- Natural, tooth-coloured and invisible
- Metal-free and mercury-free
- Quick and comfortable
How it works
- 1
Examination
We check the tooth and confirm a filling is needed.
- 2
Preparation
Decay is gently removed under local anaesthetic if needed.
- 3
Filling
Composite is placed, shaped and hardened with light.
- 4
Polishing
The filling is polished and the bite checked.
Aftercare & long-term tips
You can eat once any numbness fades; keep up brushing, flossing and regular check-ups to prevent new decay.
First 24 hours
Stick to soft, lukewarm foods and drinks; avoid very hot or hard items while any numbness or sensitivity settles.
First few days
Ease back into normal eating as sensitivity fades — usually within a few days.
Long term
Eat normally and protect your result with the simple habits below.
Do
- Brush twice a day and floss daily
- Attend your regular check-ups and cleanings
- Wear a night guard if you grind your teeth
- Keep the area clean and rinse as advised
Avoid
- Biting very hard objects — ice, pen lids, shells
- Opening bottle or soda caps with your teeth
- Too many hard nuts or sticky, chewy sweets
- Smoking and staining drinks in the first days
