Fillings are an important treatment in a dentist’s arsenal, as they can stop the threat of decay from spreading, and going on to cause more significant problems with a patient’s oral health.

Here at Earley Dental Practice, it’s always our aim to stop problems promptly, to minimise the possibility of further treatment in the future.

Why might I need a filling?

Fillings play an important role when it comes to prevention, and we encourage patients never to miss a routine dentist appointment, so that cavities can be spotted earlier, and treated with a filling.

We may suggest having a filling if you:

  • Are suffering from a cavity, as a result of tooth decay.
  • Have a worn, broken or chipped tooth.
  • Need to replace a damaged filling.
  • Would like to replace a metal amalgam filling with a more discreet-looking white filling.
  • Require a root canal to be sealed.

What can I expect during the treatment process?

The process behind getting a filling is straightforward and generally takes only one appointment.

  • Examination of the affected tooth or teeth.
  • Application of anaesthetic to numb the given areas.
  • The tooth is cleaned to remove decay.
  • Filling material is applied to the tooth.

If you ever sustain any damage to a filling, we recommend getting in touch with us as soon as you can, so that we can get your tooth back to full function again.

What makes fillings great?

  • Discreet (white) fillings can now offer a more discreet result than the amalgam metal fillings of the past. The process for getting a white filling is far less invasive than when opting for an amalgam filling, so we highly recommend them for this reason.
  • Fillings stop decay from escalating and causing problems like an infected tooth.
  • Easy procedure to carry out.
  • Once your filling has been placed, we will discuss how to prevent further problems, so that you stand the best possible chance of improving your at-home habits and oral care routine.
