Fillings

We place fillings in both children and adults. Small fillings can sometimes be completed on the day of your appointment or we will book you in for multiple fillings after a check-up. We place ‘white’ (composite) fillings.

A filling is indicated when a cavity is present in the tooth. The decay and bacteria need to be cleaned out first and then material is bonded to the tooth to close the resulting hole. Most fillings require an injection – but don’t be scared! We make this as pain-free as possible by using lots of topical numbing gel and by warming up our anesthetic.
