How We Help
Stop Decay in Its Tracks — Before It Becomes a Bigger Problem
Most people are unaware they need a filling until it's found during a routine check-up. That's exactly why regular dental visits matter — we can detect and treat decay at its earliest stage, when a small filling is all that's required.
Left untreated, a small cavity quickly becomes a large one, eventually reaching the inner pulp of the tooth and requiring root canal treatment or extraction. A timely filling today prevents a far more complex and costly procedure tomorrow.
All fillings at our practice are composite resin — matched precisely to your tooth colour and bonded directly to the tooth structure. Unlike amalgam, they require less removal of healthy tooth and set instantly, so you can eat and drink as soon as you leave the chair.
We never use amalgam. All fillings are tooth-coloured, mercury-free composite resin — safe, durable, and virtually invisible.
The Process
What to Expect at Your Appointment
Most fillings are completed comfortably in under an hour — in a single visit.
Examination & X-Rays
We take digital X-rays to identify the full extent of decay — including between teeth and below the gum line where it can't be seen.
Numbing the Area
Local anaesthetic is applied so you feel nothing during the procedure. We take the time to make sure you're completely comfortable before starting.
Removing Decay
All decay is carefully removed, leaving only healthy tooth structure. The cavity is then shaped and prepared for the filling material.
Filling & Finishing
The tooth-coloured composite is applied, shaped and light-hardened. We adjust your bite and polish the filling so it feels completely natural.
