Dental Fillings in Fulham
Private dental fillings to repair damaged teeth, relieve discomfort, and protect long term oral health.
What Are Dental Fillings?
Dental fillings are used to repair teeth affected by decay, wear, or minor damage. A filling restores the tooth’s shape and function and helps prevent further problems.
At Pearlywhite Dental Practice, fillings are planned carefully and carried out with comfort and clarity in mind. We explain why a filling is needed and what to expect before treatment begins.
When Might You Need a Dental Filling?
Common signs include
- Tooth sensitivity
- Pain when biting
- Visible holes or dark spots
Food getting stuck in a tooth
Sometimes decay is found during a routine check up before you feel any symptoms. Treating it early helps avoid more complex care later.
Our Approach to Dental Fillings
Comfort focused treatment: We aim to make fillings as comfortable as possible. The area is numbed carefully and treatment is carried out with a calm, unhurried approach.
Clear explanations: You will be shown where the problem is and why a filling is recommended. We explain the steps involved and answer questions before starting.
Protecting the tooth: Our goal is to repair the tooth while preserving as much natural structure as possible.
Types of Dental Fillings
Tooth coloured fillings: These are designed to blend with your natural teeth and are commonly used for visible areas.
Other filling options: Depending on the tooth and level of damage, we may discuss alternative materials or restorative options if suitable.
Your dentist will guide you through the best choice for your situation.
