A filling is a simple but effective way to repair a cavity caused by decay or damage. It helps protect the tooth, ease sensitivity, and restore its strength and function - all while helping you avoid further treatment down the line.
You may need a filling if you notice:
Tooth sensitivity
Discomfort when eating or drinking
Bad breath that won’t go away
Visible dark spots or holes
We use either traditional silver amalgam or modern white composite resin. Both are designed to reinforce the tooth structure and help maintain a healthy, functional bite. The best option depends on the location of the filling and your personal preferences.

What does a filling appointment involve?
Your filling treatment in Wellingborough
We start with X-rays or scans to check the tooth beneath the surface. Once the cavity is identified, your dentist will numb the area, gently remove the decay, and clean the space. The chosen filling material is then placed, shaped and set before polishing and bite checks are done.
You may feel numb for a few hours afterwards, and it’s normal to be aware of the new filling at first. Most patients can eat and drink normally the same day.
Why are routine check-ups important?
Spotting issues before they grow
Regular check-ups mean we can catch decay early and treat small issues before they become bigger problems. As part of our membership plan, check-ups and hygiene visits are included - making it easy to stay on top of your smile.

Frequently asked questions about fillings in Wellingborough
How do I know if I need a dental filling?
If you’re feeling sensitivity or pain, or notice changes in your teeth, we recommend booking a check-up. Our team can spot cavities early with X-rays and offer quick, simple treatment.
What types of fillings are available?
We offer both silver amalgam and tooth-coloured composite fillings. The choice depends on the tooth’s location and your aesthetic goals. We’ll help you decide what’s best for your smile.
Is it painful?
Not at all. We use local anaesthetic to keep you comfortable throughout. If you’re nervous, we’ll go at your pace and make sure you feel supported at every step.
How long do they last?
With good hygiene and regular check-ups, fillings can last for many years. We’ll keep an eye on them at each appointment and let you know if anything needs attention.
How should I care for my filling?
Stick to a great brushing and flossing routine, limit sugary snacks, and avoid chewing on hard objects like pens or ice. We’ll give you personalised care tips at your appointment.
