I was very pleased with my dental filling and the treatment I received. The team were friendly, professional and made me feel comfortable throughout the appointment. They explained everything clearly, worked efficiently and made the whole experience smooth and reassuring. I would definitely recommend this dental practice.

Dental fillings are treatments used to repair minor tooth fractures, caries, and other damages within the structure of a tooth. At Elm House Dental Practice, we use fillings to restore the tooth’s integrity and function after decay has been removed. Fillings are essential for maintaining the tooth’s shape and preventing further decay or damage by sealing off spaces where bacteria can enter.
Dental fillings are about more than just treating tooth decay. At Elm House Dental, our filling treatments provide personalised restorative care, helping to protect your teeth, restore their function and maintain your oral health while ensuring treatment is tailored to your individual needs.
Our dental team provides fillings designed to repair teeth affected by decay, damage or wear. Treatment is carefully planned with your comfort in mind, helping to restore the structure and function of your tooth while preventing further problems and maintaining your dental health.
Dental fillings may be right for you if:
The process of getting a filling at Elm House starts with a thorough examination of the affected tooth to determine the extent of decay or damage. Our dentist will then remove the decayed material using specialised dental tools, ensuring the area is clean and ready for the filling material.
Once the tooth is prepared, the chosen filling material — whether amalgam, composite— is applied to fill the cavity. The material is then shaped and polished to restore your tooth’s natural look and function. Throughout this process, we ensure that the treatment is as comfortable and pain-free as possible using local anaesthesia and modern dental techniques.
We offer a range of filling options including composite, and amalgam to effectively restore decayed or damaged teeth. Our approach not only treats current issues but also aims to prevent future dental problems.
Dental fillings are used to repair teeth that have been affected by decay, damage or wear. The filling replaces the damaged portion of the tooth, helping to restore its strength, shape and function.
A filling may be recommended if you have tooth decay or a damaged area that needs repairing. Treating the problem early can help prevent further damage and protect the affected tooth.
There are different types of filling materials available, including tooth-coloured composite fillings and amalgam fillings. Your dentist will discuss the most suitable option based on the tooth being treated and your individual needs.
Having a filling is generally a comfortable procedure. Local anaesthetic can be used to numb the area during treatment, helping to minimise discomfort while your dentist repairs the tooth.
Most fillings can be completed during a single appointment. The time required will depend on the size and location of the filling and the extent of the tooth damage.
Dental fillings can last for many years with good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups. Their lifespan can vary depending on the type and size of the filling, its location and your individual oral habits.
Yes. If an existing filling becomes worn, damaged or develops problems, your dentist can assess it and recommend whether it should be repaired or replaced.
Good oral hygiene, brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, limiting sugary foods and drinks, and attending regular dental check-ups can all help reduce the risk of tooth decay and the need for fillings.
