Dental Fillings

Dental fillings are a fundamental restorative treatment used to repair teeth damaged by decay, cracks or wear. While often medically necessary to treat cavities, modern fillings — particularly tooth-coloured composite resin — seamlessly bridge the gap between health and aesthetics by blending with your natural enamel.

Why You Might Need a Filling

If left untreated, minor decay progressively grows, eating away more of the tooth and leading to significant pain, infection or even tooth loss. Common signs that a filling may be required include:

Sensitivity

Sharp pain when consuming hot, cold, sweet or acidic foods or drinks.

Visible Damage

Noticeable holes, dark spots or rough edges on the tooth surface.

Discomfort

Pain when biting or chewing, or a persistent toothache.
