The right starting point
A repair that fits the tooth.
Understand the choices.
Make an informed decision.
A filling is not always the whole answer.
Large cracks, extensive decay, repeated breakage or lingering pain can need a different approach. We assess the remaining tooth rather than promising a filling before the examination.
Understand your options
When a filling is the right repair.
Tooth-coloured composite fillings can restore suitable small-to-moderate cavities, chips and damaged fillings. The amount of sound tooth remaining matters more than the appearance of the hole. For a closer look at the tooth, seal and bite, read what affects filling quality and longevity.
Match repair to damage
We assess the depth, surfaces involved and bite before choosing a repair. An X-ray may help show damage that cannot be seen from the outside.
Consider the alternatives
A larger or weakened tooth may need a crown. If the pulp is affected, a filling alone may not address the problem and another treatment needs discussion.
Look after the repair
Continue everyday cleaning and attend the recommended reviews. Tell us if the bite feels high, pain worsens or the repaired tooth changes; do not assume every symptom is normal.
What happens next

Before you book
Questions about tooth-coloured fillings.
Practical details to help you choose your next step.
What are white fillings made from?
White, tooth-coloured composite fillings are used for suitable repairs. The composite can be shaped to blend with the tooth and restore the damaged area.
Can a filling repair every chipped tooth?
No. The size, depth and location of the damage matter. A heavily weakened tooth may need a crown or another treatment.
What if the tooth hurts when I bite?
Let us assess it rather than assuming a new filling will solve it. Cracks, bite pressure and other problems can cause biting pain.
What happens after a filling?
We check the bite and explain any advice for your tooth. Contact us if pain is worsening or the bite does not feel right.
