Dental fillings repair teeth damaged by decay or minor fractures. We use modern tooth-coloured composite materials that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing both functional and aesthetic restoration.
This treatment is ideal if you
- ✓Cavities and tooth decay at any stage
- ✓Worn, chipped or fractured teeth
- ✓Replacing old silver amalgam fillings
- ✓Areas of sensitivity caused by surface wear
How it works
Examination and diagnosis
We identify areas of decay or damage, often with the help of X-rays, and confirm that a filling is the appropriate treatment for your tooth.
Removal of decay
Under local anaesthetic, we remove the decayed or damaged tissue, leaving a clean, healthy surface ready for restoration.
Bonding the filling
We apply composite resin in layers, hardening each with a curing light, building up the filling to the correct shape and contour of your natural tooth.
Finish and polish
The filling is checked against your bite, adjusted if needed, and polished to blend seamlessly with your surrounding tooth structure.
Why Choose Composite Fillings?
Unlike traditional silver amalgam fillings, composite fillings match the colour of your natural teeth, making them virtually invisible. They also bond directly to the tooth structure, providing additional strength and requiring less removal of healthy tooth tissue.
When You Need a Filling
Fillings are needed when a tooth has a cavity (decay), a small chip or fracture, worn areas from grinding, or old fillings that need replacing. The earlier we treat decay, the smaller the filling needed and the more tooth structure we can preserve.
The Filling Procedure
After numbing the area for your comfort, we remove the decayed or damaged portion of the tooth. The composite material is then applied in layers, shaped to match your tooth's contours, and hardened with a special curing light. We then polish the filling for a smooth, natural finish.
Longevity and Care
With proper care, composite fillings can last many years. Maintain good oral hygiene, attend regular check-ups, and avoid excessive force on filled teeth. We'll monitor your fillings at each visit to ensure they remain in good condition.

Calm and relaxed atmosphere right from the door. Friendly receptionist and a warm welcome from Geeta the dentist. Put my mind at rest straightaway about procedures and practices at the surgery. Geeta explained everything in detail after an examination of my teeth that was probably the most explorative check I've ever had in all my years. No hard sell and a genuine authentic explanation of my teeth (and related oral health). High tech equipment and no uncomfortable processes to map teeth and gums. In my views this is a totally professional service that's almost worth looking forward to.
Form is everything that a dental practice should be! I was nervous before attending but Laura and Andrea were professional and kind and put me at ease. Highly recommended!
This is hands down the best dentist I have ever visited in my life. It's like being at a 5 star resort/spa. They take a great deal of care ensuring the patient understands the rationale behind the treatment plan and procedures. Their equipment is state of the art and the team working there are simply great. I am so happy to have come across this dental practice.
Wonderful experience at Form Dental from start to finish. Welcoming receptionist in a calm, tranquil environment, followed by the most informative, caring yet professional hygienist appointment with Teresa, that I have ever experienced. So attentive to individual needs and concerns, including demonstration of correct flossing and brushing techniques. Cannot recommend highly enough.
Recently found this dentist and from walking in the welcome, the service and as you are leaving all is 10 out of 10. Gita (Dentist) is by far the best I have come across, takes time to explain all you need to know and with genuine care, and of course Andrea (assistant) also top notch. Together they are number one in the business. Highly recommend
So impressed with my friendly, knowledgeable dentist and the helpful and thorough appointment - lots of great advice. A beautiful clinic with great equipment and, best of all, they were brilliant with my 2 year old and even put tractors on the TV to make him feel welcome. Thank you so much!
