At Sale Dental, our primary focus is to protect our patients from needing restorative treatments like dental fillings.

However, sometimes, a filling is necessary to repair a tooth and restore its full function.

A composite filling is used to fill a gap or cavity in a tooth caused by decay, injury, or wear and tear. Our dental fillings at Sale Dental are made from a durable, tooth-coloured composite resin that provides a natural-looking finish and is easy to shape.

What are fillings made of?

Traditionally, fillings were made from precious metals like gold or metal amalgam. At Sale Dental, we use white, tooth-coloured fillings by default. These fillings are made from a durable composite resin that provides a natural-looking finish and is easy to shape.

How will I know if I need a filling?

Regular dental check-ups at Sale Dental can reveal the need for a filling before you notice any problems. Symptoms indicating the need for a filling include increased tooth sensitivity, pain, or difficulty when chewing or biting down.

If you experience any of these symptoms, contact our dental clinic immediately to diagnose and address the issue before the cavity worsens.

What is the filling treatment like?

Getting a filling is a routine procedure involving local anaesthetic to ensure you feel no discomfort. Once numbed, we remove the decayed or infected part of the tooth and thoroughly clean the area. A gel is applied to the tooth as an adhesive for the composite filling material, which is then carefully shaped and cured with a specific light to harden it in place.

What do I need to do after I have a filling?

Avoid eating on the treated tooth for 24-48 hours to allow it to calm down, as the procedure is akin to a minor operation on the tooth. Maintain good oral hygiene by brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, flossing regularly, and attending regular dental check-ups to keep your oral health in optimal condition.

Book your consultation on Sat 4/10 to realise your smile! Every smile is as individual as you are. We don’t believe in a cookie cutter approach of £xxxx for composite bonding for 8-10 teeth. Some of you may be right for that however some of you may be a candidate for a more subtle approach but with a huge impact. That’s why speak to us and we’ll make a bespoke treatment plan for you. Our lovely Rebekah in this photo needed her bite sorted first which was causing her teeth to chip so Invislign was used to align her teeth and open the bite to create space for bonding, 4 on the top and 2 on the bottom teeth and of course that was after teeth whitening. The result speaks for itself! She is off to China on her work trip soon, ready to boast off that pretty new smile with tons more confidence
