Understand the treatment

What is a dental filling?

A filling restores a tooth after decay or minor damage. Tooth-coloured material can blend with your smile.

  • Your dentist recommends a suitable repair after examining the tooth and bite. The size and position of the damaged area guide the choice. Your dentist checks whether the tooth needs a simple repair or more extensive protection.

What treatment aims to do

Why repair a cavity?

The depth and extent of damage determine whether prevention, a filling or a more protective restoration is needed.

During and after care

Your filling appointment

Many fillings are completed in one treatment visit, with local anaesthetic when needed. Larger cavities or several teeth can take longer. The dentist checks the shape and bite after placement. Temporary sensitivity can occur; persistent or worsening symptoms should be reviewed.

Care after a filling

Wait until normal feeling returns before chewing if your mouth is numb. Follow advice for your filling material, brush with fluoride toothpaste and clean between teeth. Contact the clinic about a high bite, broken filling or ongoing pain.

Your questions, answered

Will I need a numbing injection?

Often, local anaesthetic is used for drilling and filling. Some small repairs may not need it. Your dentist will discuss comfort and check the tooth is ready before starting.

Can I eat after a filling?

Follow the advice for your filling material. If you had local anaesthetic, wait until normal feeling returns before chewing so you do not bite your cheek, lip or tongue.

How long does a filling last?

It depends on the filling's size and location, the material, cleaning and bite. A filled tooth can still decay, so daily prevention and dental reviews remain important.

Does very early decay always need a filling?

No. Some early decay may respond to preventive care. Your dentist assesses whether the tooth needs a filling or another approach.

What if my bite feels high afterwards?

Contact the clinic for a review if the filling feels uneven when you bite, or if pain or sensitivity persists. An adjustment or further assessment may be needed.
