Composite Fillings

Composite Fillings

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.

I looked around at many others for price and reputation, this was the best. for full mouth dentistry. The whole team couldn’t be more friendly, competent and professional. The reception fronted by the unbelievable skills of Mandi who found slots that didn’t exist , right through to the dentist Hamza who worked miracles at times that were definitely testing and long even the odd weekend. Nothing was to much trouble. A perfectionist if ever there was one . Thankyou team all of you, not a bad one between you

I had a really nice, relaxed experience getting a filling today. Damini and Zahra were absolutely wonderful and professional, I didn’t even feel the needle go in!. The rest of the staff were great as well, even though I didn’t catch all their names. Thanks to everyone for making the visit so welcome and comfortable!

I couldn’t be happier with my experience at Sale Dental Spa. I came in feeling really unhappy with my teeth, and after a personalised treatment plan that included Invisalign and composite bonding, the results have completely transformed my smile.A huge thank you to Mandi and Aisha for their incredible care throughout my treatment — they were genuinely invested in helping me achieve the best outcome. And thank you to Phoebe and Yalda for making the entire process smooth and stress-free.From start to finish, the service has been outstanding. Highly recommend!

I had an AirFlow cleaning with Rebecca and she was absolutely amazing from start to finish. She is very gentle, honest and professional, and took the time to explain what she was doing and what results I could realistically expect.The actual clean was excellent. my teeth felt super smooth and fresh afterwards, and she was also very friendly and lovely to talk to, which made me feel relaxed and comfortable the whole time.I also received a Black Friday discount for the AirFlow, which was a great bonus and very good value.I’m already planning to come back here for whitening.Thank you, Rebecca and Sale Dental Spa! highly recommended!

I recently had a large filling on an awkward wisdom tooth done by Rebecca and Zahra. I was very nervous going into it, however this was one of the calmest and gentlest procedures I have had. Rebecca was so gentle and reassuring throughout and went out of her way to make me more comfortable and explain everything she was doing. Massive thanks to both they are a super friendly and caring team. Xx

As someone who has always been extremely self-conscious about my teeth and the way I smiled, taking the step to improve my confidence felt daunting to say the least. Around February 2025, after much research and reading reviews, I decided to try Invisalign, and I’m so grateful that my journey led me to Sale Dental Spa. From the moment I walked through their doors, I knew I was in the best possible hands.What sets Sale Dental Spa apart is the incredible warmth and care of their team. They treated me like family from Day 1, making every appointment feel less like that ‘scary’ dental visit and more like catching up with friends who genuinely care so much about my well-being. This personal touch transformed my experience, turning a nervous patient into someone who now looks forward to their visits.I want to extend my deepest gratitude to the amazing individuals who made this journey so special: Hamza, Mandi, Georgia, Phoebe, Cristina, Zahra, Essa, Yalda, Aisha, and Haaris. Each of you brought your unique kindness, expertise, and encouragement, and I can’t thank you enough. If I’ve missed anyone from the Sale Dental Spa team, please know that your contributions haven’t gone unnoticed the collective effort of everyone there has been truly impactful.The professionalism and skill at Sale Dental Spa are unmatched. My Invisalign treatment progressed smoothly, and I’m already loving the transformation in my smile that I never thought possible. The team’s patience in explaining every step and their unwavering support have made all the difference. Whether you’re in the M33 area or beyond, I wholeheartedly recommend Sale Dental Spa to anyone looking for top-notch dental care with a personal touch!Here’s to the remainder of 2025 and the beginning of 2026! Here’s to happy smiles, newfound confidence, and a progressive journey with the best dental team I could have asked for. Thank you, Sale Dental Spa, for changing my life one smile at a time!

Nadia and Zahra were both amazing!I had previous composite edge bonding from elsewhere which wasn’t to a high standard and had multiple chips. Nadia removed the previous composite and redid my top 6 teeth. The quality of her work is incredible, I was previously so self conscious of my smile but now I love my teeth!Both Nadia and Zahra were so lovely and reassuring throughout the whole appointment.I honestly couldn’t recommend them enough, thank you so much! 🫶🏼

I cannot recommend Sale Dental Spa enough. From day one. every single staff member has been friendly, polite and kind. It’s so nice to walk in somewhere and be greeted by your name, rather than a typical transactional experience.As someone who has been anxious about the dentist my whole life, I couldn’t be more grateful to Dr Hamza. He has consistently made me feel so relaxed, kept me informed on what was happening and made the experience enjoyable.I love my new teeth so much; I can’t stop smiling! I wouldn’t go anywhere else! Thank you 🌟

I had my first hygienist appointment with Damini today and she was so lovely and put me at ease straight away! I would highly reccomend, she talked me through the process and gave me advice on what I should do next to perfect my brushing routine at home! I have my next hygienist appointment already booked in, thank you Damini!

In May I decided to take action on my oral health and came here to have a consultation to see just what work I needed, knowing I’d need a fair amount so I scheduled an appointment online and was booked in with Hamza.From the beginning he’s been really helpful, kind and professional - knowing I was extremely nervous at the start he worked out a dental plan for me and talked me through it making sure I understood the issues and impact if I was to decide not to fix soon. I never felt pressured he always was clear about how I could schedule the treatment whenever I’m ready so always felt comfortable and armed with the information needed to make decisions on my treatment.It’s 7 months later and I’ve had 3 sessions of work with 2 more to go, I can honestly say that Hamza is passionate about his work and I can tell he’s a perfectionist. He won’t ever rush the work and will clearly state the steps he’s taking when you’re in the chair and can’t talk, i feel like I’ve learnt so much about my teeth - I’m never left wondering about any of it or what the next session will entail which I love. He stops if I make any signal that I’m in discomfort and is keen to make sure I’m ok throughout.I’ve always dreaded the dentist but now I really don’t, Hamza and his assistant Zara are always so pleasant, calming and caring and as weird as it sounds I’m always so relaxed in that dentist chair which are words I never thought I’d say!I do recommend this place, facilities are nice and clean.

Sabeer, Rachel and Mandi are the Root-Canal dream team! They made my lengthy and complicated re-root canal procedure, not only tolerable and manageable, but we really had some laughs along the way!
