TREATMENT OVERVIEW

What Are Dental Fillings?

Dental fillings are restorative materials used to repair teeth that have been damaged by decay or injury. After the decayed or weak portion of the tooth is carefully removed, the cleaned cavity is filled with a material that restores the tooth's shape, function and integrity.

Modern composite (tooth-coloured) fillings are made from a resin material that can be closely matched to your natural tooth shade. This makes them both functional and aesthetically discreet, especially compared to traditional metal (amalgam) fillings.

Fillings are one of the most common dental treatments because they are effective at stopping decay, preventing further damage, and restoring comfort. They can be placed quickly, usually in a single visit, and are suitable for many routine restorative needs.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Fillings

Dental fillings have traditionally used metal amalgam, but modern dentistry favours composite (tooth-coloured) resin because it blends with natural enamel and forms a strong bond with the tooth. Composite material is made from a plastic resin mixed with fine glass particles, providing both strength and a natural appearance. We use composite as standard at Barker Dental Care, offering an aesthetically discreet and clinically reliable result.

The longevity of a dental filling depends on factors such as the size and location of the restoration, your bite forces, oral hygiene habits, and whether you clench or grind your teeth. With good home care and regular dental check-ups, modern composite fillings can last many years — often a decade or more. We'll advise you on the best ways to protect and prolong the life of your fillings.

Most patients find the process very comfortable. Local anaesthetic is used to numb the area so that removal of decayed tissue and placement of the filling are pain-free. Some people experience mild sensitivity for a short period after treatment, particularly with chewing or temperature changes. This is normal and usually settles within a few days.

You might need a filling if you notice sensitivity to sweet or cold foods, discomfort when biting, or visible pits or discolouration on your teeth. However, early decay often doesn't cause noticeable symptoms — which is why regular dental examinations are so important. During your check-up, we check for decay using clinical examination and X-rays where needed, so problems are caught early.

Yes — old fillings can and often should be replaced when they begin to fail. Signs of a failing filling include rough edges, cracking, discolouration around the filling margins, and new sensitivity or discomfort. We can replace old metal amalgam fillings with modern tooth-coloured alternatives, improving both the appearance and the long-term health of the tooth.

Fillings are suitable for repairing small to moderate decay or damage where the remaining tooth structure is still strong. When the damage is more extensive, options such as porcelain inlays, onlays, or crowns may be more appropriate as they provide greater coverage and strength. During your assessment, your dentist will recommend the most suitable and conservative option for your specific situation.
