Fillings
Let’s restore decayed or worn teeth
A filling isn’t just about fixing a cavity, it’s about restoring strength, shape and comfort to your tooth before the damage goes deeper. Whether it’s from decay, cracks or wear and tear, we use materials that blend in beautifully and last for a long time, so your tooth looks, feels and functions like it should.
What are dental fillings?
Fillings repair areas of a tooth that have been damaged by decay, fractures or everyday wear. We remove the weakened part, clean the area, and place a long-lasting material that restores your tooth’s shape and strength. Most fillings are done in one visit, often with no downtime.

Why choose a dental filling?
Stop decay in it's tracks
A filling prevents damage from spreading deeper into the tooth or nerve, helping avoid more serious (and expensive) treatment later.
Restore function and strength
Fillings help you chew and bite with comfort again, especially if you've been favouring one side or avoiding certain foods.
Matches your natural teeth
We use tooth-coloured materials that blend in with your smile, so no one notices the repair, not even you!
Quick treatment
Most fillings are done in under an hour. You leave with your tooth restored and ready to use, no waiting, no return visits.
Comfortable and pain-free
With gentle numbing and modern materials, most patients find fillings straightforward and pain-free, even if they experience dental anxiety.
Aesthetic improvements
We’re happy to replace older metal fillings with discreet tooth-coloured options, especially in visible areas or if they’re failing.
