Fillings for cavities

A tooth filling is one of the most common and effective ways to restore a tooth that has been damaged by decay, wear, or minor fractures. At New Road Dental Practice, we use modern materials and gentle techniques to ensure your comfort and achieve a natural-looking result.

What Is a Tooth Filling?

A filling is used to repair a cavity (a small hole caused by tooth decay) and restore the tooth’s strength, shape, and function. By filling the affected area, we prevent further decay and help maintain your natural tooth for years to come.

The Tooth Filling Procedure

1. Examination & Diagnosis – Your dentist will examine your tooth and may take an X-ray to determine the extent of the damage.
2. Anaesthesia – The area around the tooth is numbed to ensure a completely pain-free experience.
3. Decay Removal – The decayed or damaged part of the tooth is carefully removed.
4. Filling Placement – The cleaned area is filled with a durable material that bonds securely to the tooth.
5. Shaping & Polishing – The filling is shaped to match your bite and polished for a smooth, natural finish.
