Overview

Natural-Looking Cavity Repairs
at Smiles and More

Composite resin fillings have replaced old-fashioned amalgam as the standard of care at Smiles and More. They are matched precisely to your natural tooth colour, bond directly to the tooth structure, and require less healthy tooth removal than silver amalgam. The result is a restoration that is virtually invisible and feels completely natural.

We use digital X-rays and intraoral cameras to detect cavities at their earliest stage — before they become large or painful. Small fillings are faster, cheaper, and less invasive than large ones, which is why regular preventive checkups are the single best investment in keeping your filling treatment simple.

What We Offer

Our Filling Services

Composite Resin Fillings

Tooth-coloured fillings matched to your enamel shade — strong, durable, and completely invisible in normal conversation.

Digital Cavity Detection

Digital X-rays and intraoral cameras detect cavities at the earliest possible stage, minimizing the treatment needed.

Decay Removal

All decayed tooth tissue is removed precisely before any filling material is placed.

Amalgam Replacement

Safe removal of old silver amalgam fillings and replacement with modern, natural-looking composite restorations.

Inlay & Onlay Restorations

For larger cavities, lab-fabricated porcelain inlays and onlays provide a stronger, more precise alternative to a direct filling.

Fluoride Application

Post-filling fluoride treatment strengthens surrounding enamel and reduces the risk of secondary decay.

Bite Adjustment

After filling placement, we check and adjust your bite to ensure the filling does not create any discomfort when chewing.

Sedation for Anxious Patients

Nitrous oxide and oral sedation options are available for patients who experience dental anxiety around restorative treatment.

The Process

Your Filling Appointment, Step by Step

Examination & X-Rays

Digital X-rays and a clinical exam pinpoint the location and size of all cavities requiring treatment.

Anaesthesia & Isolation

Local anaesthetic numbs the area. A dental dam isolates the tooth to keep the working field clean and dry.

Decay Removal & Bonding

All decay is removed, the cavity is cleaned, and a bonding agent is applied to help the composite adhere securely.

Composite Application & Polish

Resin is placed in layers, cured with a UV light, then shaped and polished to match your natural tooth surface.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Fillings

With good oral hygiene and regular checkups, tooth-coloured composite fillings typically last 7–12 years. Your dentist will monitor your fillings at each checkup and recommend replacement when needed.
Yes — composite fillings are fully hardened with a UV curing light before you leave the chair, so you can eat immediately. However, avoid very hot foods until the anaesthetic wears off (1–3 hours).
Modern composite resin fillings are highly durable and more than adequate for most cavity sizes. For very large back-tooth restorations, we may recommend a porcelain inlay or onlay for superior long-term strength.
Early cavities often have no symptoms at all, which is why regular X-rays are essential. Signs may include sensitivity to sweet, cold, or hot foods, a visible dark spot, or a rough edge you can feel with your tongue.
With effective local anaesthesia, you should feel no pain — only pressure and vibration. Some patients experience mild sensitivity for a few days after placement. If sensitivity persists beyond 2 weeks, contact us.
