Cavities are one of the most common dental problems, and most people need a filling at some point. A filling repairs the damaged part of the tooth, stops decay from spreading and restores the tooth’s strength so you can chew comfortably again.
Treatment is quick and gentle. We numb the area, remove the decay, clean the tooth and fill it with a durable material shaped to match your natural bite.
We use modern materials that balance strength, comfort and appearance:
Most fillings take less than an hour. We will recommend the best material based on the size and location of the cavity and your personal preferences.
We start by examining the tooth and may take digital X-rays to see how far the decay has spread. After numbing the area, we gently remove the decay and prepare the tooth.
For composite fillings, the material is placed in layers and hardened with a special light, then shaped and polished so your bite feels natural.
A small cavity can quickly become a bigger problem if it is left untreated. Book a visit and we will repair it gently, using materials that look and feel like your natural teeth.
