Cleaning out tooth structure lost to decay or small fractures and repairing it with a tooth-coloured material.

A filling means removing the decayed tissue and closing the cavity with a filling material. The aim is to restore the shape and chewing function of the tooth and stop the decay from progressing.
Decay that is caught early can be treated with a small filling. If decay progresses and reaches the nerve, root canal treatment may be needed, which is why regular check-ups matter.
Small cavities often cause no symptoms and are found at an examination or on an X-ray.
Which is suitable depends on how much tooth structure has been lost and where the tooth is, and is decided at the examination.
For crown options, see our zirconia crowns page.
The depth of the decay and how close it is to the nerve are assessed.
For deep decay the tooth is numbed; for shallow decay this is often not needed.
The decayed tissue is removed and the tooth is prepared for the filling.
The filling is applied in layers, hardened, then shaped to your bite and polished.
Fillings are done by our dentist. For children, fillings in baby teeth are planned by our paediatric dentist.

It would not be right to give a figure without an examination. The main factors are:

If several teeth need fillings, the order of treatment is planned together at the examination.
Shallow cavities often need no anaesthetic. For deep decay a local anaesthetic is given, so you usually feel no pain during the procedure.
A composite filling is hardened during the procedure. If you had an anaesthetic, you can eat once it has worn off.
It depends on the size of the filling, the position of the tooth and your oral care. With regular check-ups, worn fillings are replaced in time.
A sound filling with no problems does not always need replacing just because of its colour. Fillings that are cracked, have open edges or decay underneath are assessed at the examination.
Sensitivity to cold for a few days is possible, especially after deep fillings. If it gets worse or does not settle, call the clinic.
Yes. Decay in baby teeth should also be treated; for children, fillings are planned by our paediatric dentist.
