Restoring Teeth to Their Full Strength
A dental filling is a simple restorative treatment used to repair a tooth damaged by decay or a minor fracture. Once the weakened area is removed, the tooth is carefully cleaned and sealed with a strong material to stop bacteria entering.
Modern dentistry mainly uses composite fillings, matched closely to your natural enamel for a smooth, discreet result that restores both strength and appearance. At St Georges Dental, we use gentle techniques and effective anaesthesia to ensure a comfortable experience and support your long-term oral health.

Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ's
A dental filling is a treatment used to repair a tooth that has been damaged by decay or a small fracture. It restores strength, function, and appearance.
We ensure the procedure is completely comfortable. We use highly effective local anaesthetic to numb the area around the tooth, meaning you should feel no pain during the removal of decay or the placement of the new filling.
A straightforward filling usually takes 20–40 minutes, depending on the size and location of the decay.
Often, early decay is symptomless, which is why regular check-ups are vital. You may need a filling if you experience sensitivity to hot or cold, or if the dentist discovers a cavity during an exam or on an X-ray. We always explain the findings clearly before starting treatment.
Brush twice a day, floss daily, limit sugary foods, and attend regular dental check-ups. Good habits help fillings last longer and prevent new decay.
