Filling

What It Is

A filling restores a tooth after decay has been removed, or repairs minor chips and wear, using a tooth-coloured composite material that bonds directly to the tooth. It's one of the most common and straightforward dental treatments, generally suitable for small to moderate areas of decay or damage.

What to Expect at Your Visit

The dentist removes the decayed or damaged portion of the tooth, cleans the area, and bonds the composite material in layers, shaping and polishing it to match the natural tooth. This is usually completed in a single visit under local anaesthesia if needed.
