When a filling may help
Cavities can grow quietly until they cause sensitivity or pain. A filling removes the damaged portion and seals the tooth to help prevent further decay.
Our approach
- Examine the tooth and assess the extent of decay.
- Explain suitable filling options and expected care.
- Remove decay while preserving healthy tooth structure.
- Shape and check the restoration for a comfortable bite.
Are tooth-coloured fillings noticeable?
Composite fillings are matched to the tooth shade, making them a discreet choice for many visible teeth.
What happens if a cavity is deep?
A deeper cavity may need additional protection or root canal treatment. Your dentist will explain the options after examination.
