Tooth-Coloured Fillings

Restore the strength and appearance of your teeth with high-quality dental fillings in London.

Dental fillings are a simple yet effective solution for treating cavities and restoring damaged teeth. At The Park Dental Practice, we use tooth-coloured composite fillings that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing a durable and aesthetic restoration. Whether your tooth has been affected by decay, cracks, or wear, fillings help protect it from further damage while maintaining its structure and function.

The procedure involves removing decayed or damaged portions of the tooth, thoroughly cleaning the area, and filling it with a high-quality composite material. This ensures a strong bond and a natural look. Unlike traditional silver amalgam fillings, our tooth-coloured fillings provide a discreet, mercury-free solution that enhances your smile while preserving your oral health. If you have a cavity or a chipped tooth, book an appointment today to restore your tooth with a durable and aesthetic filling.

Who Needs It?

Fillings are essential for patients with tooth decay, cavities, or minor fractures. If you experience sensitivity, discomfort while eating, or visible holes in your teeth, you may need a filling. They also benefit patients with worn-down enamel, helping to reinforce weakened teeth and prevent further deterioration.

Advantages

1. Natural Appearance – Composite fillings match the colour of your natural teeth, providing a seamless and aesthetically pleasing restoration.

2. Mercury-Free & Safe – Unlike traditional silver amalgam fillings, composite fillings are metal-free and biocompatible, making them a safer choice.

3. Prevents Further Decay – Fillings seal cavities, preventing bacteria from entering and causing more extensive tooth damage or infection.

4. Durable & Long-Lasting – Modern composite materials offer strong, long-lasting results, withstanding the pressure of daily chewing and biting.

5. Minimally Invasive Treatment – The procedure preserves more of your natural tooth structure, ensuring better long-term oral health.

FAQs

Do dental fillings hurt?

No, the procedure is performed under local anaesthesia to ensure you remain comfortable. You may experience slight sensitivity after treatment, which usually fades within a few days.

How long do composite fillings last?

With proper care, composite fillings can last between 5 to 10 years. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene help extend their lifespan.

Can a filling fall out?

While rare, fillings can become loose or fall out over time due to wear or damage. If this happens, contact us immediately to have it repaired or replaced.

Are white fillings better than silver fillings?

White (composite) fillings are more aesthetically pleasing and bond better to the tooth. They are also mercury-free, making them a safer and preferred choice.

Can I eat immediately after getting a filling?

It’s best to wait until the numbness wears off to avoid biting your cheek or tongue. Avoid hard or sticky foods for a few hours after the procedure.
