What Is a Dental Filling?
A dental filling is used to repair a tooth that has been affected by decay. During the treatment, your dentist carefully removes the damaged part of the tooth and cleans the area thoroughly. The space is then filled with a durable tooth coloured material that protects the tooth and restores its normal shape and function.
This treatment helps prevent further damage and allows you to chew comfortably again. Dental fillings are usually completed in a single appointment and are a straightforward, comfortable procedure.

The Dental Filling Procedure
The first step is to make sure the area around the tooth is completely comfortable. A local anaesthetic is used to gently numb the tooth so you should not feel any pain during the procedure.
Once the tooth is numb, your dentist will carefully remove the decayed portion of the tooth using specialised dental instruments. The cavity is then cleaned thoroughly to remove any remaining bacteria.
After the tooth has been prepared, a tooth coloured composite material is applied in layers. Each layer is hardened using a special dental light to ensure strength and durability.
Once the filling has been placed, your dentist will shape and polish it so that it feels smooth and fits naturally with your bite.
The final result is a restored tooth that looks natural and functions normally.
Dental Fillings for Children
The filling procedure for children is very similar to that for adults. However, our team takes extra time to explain the process in a calm and friendly way to help children feel relaxed.
We understand that visiting the dentist can feel intimidating for younger patients, so we focus on creating a positive experience. Our team is experienced in helping nervous children feel comfortable and supported throughout their visit.

Over time, bacteria builds up on every tooth in your mouth. And every time you eat something, particularly something sugary, it’s feast time for the bacteria. When they’ve finished eating, they produce a very strong acid that starts eating away at your tooth.
Every time you brush your teeth or floss, you get rid of a lot of that acid. But some will remain and if you don’t brush your teeth twice a day and have a low sugar diet, the acid on your teeth can build up and eventually cause the dental
The best thing you can do to prevent cavities is to visit the dentist every 6-9 months. You should also brush and floss twice a day. Removing sugar from your diet and avoiding snacking between meals can also help to prevent cavities. And finally, a trip to the dental hygienist can also help to prevent cavities.
If you are worried about being in pain from keeping your mouth open for so long, there are steps we can take. A bite block is a soft rubber triangle we’ll put between your lower and upper teeth so that your mouth stays open. This is an option for longer procedures.
