Dental Fillings

At Dental Galleria, we provide natural-looking dental fillings in Putney for patients from Ryde and nearby areas. A filling can repair a tooth affected by decay, wear or minor damage, helping restore its strength and make everyday biting and chewing feel comfortable again.

Our dentists use tooth-coloured composite material that blends with your natural smile. We will explain what the tooth needs and complete your treatment with a gentle, unhurried approach, so you feel comfortable and well looked after throughout your visit.

What Is a Dental Filling?

What Is a Dental Filling?

A dental filling repairs a tooth that has been affected by decay, a small crack or everyday wear. The damaged part of the tooth is carefully cleaned, then restored with filling material to help protect it from further damage and bring back its natural shape and function.

At Dental Galleria, we use tooth-coloured fillings that are matched to your smile for a smooth, natural-looking result. Treating the tooth early can help prevent the problem from becoming more uncomfortable and may reduce the need for more complex dental care later.

Signs You May Need a Dental Filling

A small cavity or damaged tooth may not always cause pain straight away. Some common signs include:

If something does not feel quite right, our dentists can check the tooth and let you know whether a filling is needed. Book an appointment with Dental Galleria today.

How Dental Filling Treatment Works

Step 1.
Checking the Tooth

We begin by examining the tooth and finding out what is causing the sensitivity, pain or damage. Our dentist will explain what they have found and whether a filling is the right way to restore the tooth.

Step 2.
Preparing for Treatment

Before we begin, we make sure you feel settled and comfortable. The tooth is carefully prepared so the damaged area can be treated while preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible.

Step 3.
Removing the Decay

Any decay or weakened material is gently cleared away, and the tooth is thoroughly cleaned. This creates a healthy surface for the new filling and helps protect the tooth from further damage.

Step 4. Placing the Tooth-Coloured Filling

Composite material is carefully layered into the tooth and matched to its natural colour. At Dental Galleria, each filling is shaped to restore the tooth’s strength, form and everyday function while blending naturally with your smile.

Step 5.
Checking Your Bite

Once the filling is in place, we check that your bite feels comfortable and make any small adjustments needed. The filling is then polished for a smooth finish, and we will share simple advice on caring for your restored tooth.

Before and After a Dental Filling

A dental filling can make a small but important difference to the way a tooth looks, feels and functions. At Dental Galleria, we carefully repair the damaged area and shape the filling so it sits comfortably within your bite and blends naturally with your smile.

Before treatment, you may notice sensitivity to hot, cold or sweet foods, discomfort when biting, or food catching around the tooth. The tooth may also have a visible dark spot, small hole, rough edge, chip or worn area.

After your filling, the tooth may feel:

Every tooth is different, so our dentists will explain what can be achieved and how to care for your filling after treatment. Contact Dental Galleria to book an appointment if you are concerned about a sensitive, chipped or damaged tooth.

Restore Strength and Comfort to Your Tooth

Dental Filling Treatment

A well-placed dental filling restores the damaged part of the tooth and helps protect it from further decay. Once treatment is complete, the tooth should feel smoother, stronger and more comfortable when you bite or chew.

At Dental Galleria, we shape and polish each tooth-coloured filling so it blends naturally with your smile and feels comfortable in your bite. With regular brushing, flossing and dental check-ups, your restored tooth can continue to function well for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most filling treatments are straightforward. Our dentist will help keep you comfortable throughout the appointment and explain each step before getting started.

The lifespan of a filling depends on its size, location, material and how well the tooth is cared for. Regular brushing, flossing and dental check-ups can help your filling and the surrounding tooth stay in good condition.

This depends on the filling material and whether your mouth still feels numb. Our Dental Galleria team will let you know when it is comfortable to eat and whether you should avoid chewing on the treated tooth for a short time.

Contact Dental Galleria if your filling feels loose, cracks, falls out or causes ongoing discomfort when you bite. Our dentists can check the tooth and recommend the most suitable repair or replacement.
