Dental fillings treatment at Mouth Dental
Dental fillings have been used over the ages to counter the issues arising from tooth decay, abscesses, and cracks which can cause problems that affect the undamaged section of the tooth as well. They help restore the functionality of the tooth and preserve its integrity and prevent further damage. If left untreated, a cavity or crack can become larger and lead to issues such as gingivitis, gum disease and tooth decay.

Frequently asked questions
What are dental fillings?
A dental filling is a common dental procedure that is effective in treating a number of dental issues. Varying safe substances are used to fill holes or cracks in the teeth, smoothing the surface of the tooth and stopping decay. It helps the tooth to be pain-free and function as it did before and promotes good oral health by stopping the risk of further damage.
What are dental fillings made out of?
Modern fillings are mostly made from composite resin or porcelain but can also be made from a strong, biocompatible amalgam of metals. There are also gold and silver fillings with gold proving to be an especially long-lasting option. Composite resin with finely ground acrylic and quartz-like particles has the benefit of being tooth coloured and so blends in well with the natural teeth.
What are the dental conditions that require dental fillings?
One of the most well-known reasons for needing a dental filling is when you have tooth decay, and the dentist needs to fill the cleaned cavity area. They are also used to repair cracked or broken teeth as well as teeth that have been worn down through tooth grinding, clenching and chewing etc. Dental fillings are used when it is possible to restore the functionality of your affected tooth or teeth.
How long does it take to place dental fillings?
If you require prep work before the filling and/or require more than one filling then the duration can vary, but if it is a simple filling then it can even be done within 20 minutes. The most it will take for a basic filling procedure is less than an hour which is why it is such a convenient procedure. Amalgam fillings will take around 24 hours to completely set, while composite fillings set almost immediately.
How do you take care of your dental health after receiving fillings?
It is best to avoid hot or cold foods and drinks immediately after the procedure as you may experience some tooth sensitivity. It is also advisable to avoid chewy, sticky or hard foods for about two weeks after getting the filling. However, you can continue with your oral hygiene such as brushing your teeth because there is no need to avoid doing so.
How long do dental fillings last?
With basic care, fillings can last about 15 years before needing to be replaced. There are some factors that can contribute towards causing the fillings to be replaced earlier such as if you have not been careful when eating hard food or if you grind or clench your teeth. After gold, amalgam and ceramic fillings last the longest, composite lasts around 7 years and glass ionomer around 5 years.
How often do you need to get fillings replaced?
This will depend on the type of filling you have and your oral health habits. If you have resin fillings you may have to replace them every 7 to 10 years. Amalgam and ceramic can last for about 15 years while gold and silver fillings have the longest lifespans. However, they are more expensive, so they are not as popular as amalgam which is affordable and durable.
Are dental fillings painful?
No, dental fillings are not painful. Your dentist will numb the area with a numbing gel and then administer a local anaesthetic. There will be a certain amount of tooth sensitivity post-procedure, but it will fade away quickly. For a while quickly bolts of sensitivity can occur but it too will reduce and completely go away after a while, and you will be pain-free.
Can you eat and drink normally once you receive the fillings?
Immediately after getting the filling, it would be advisable to avoid hot and cold food and drinks along with hard, sticky and crunchy food. Giving your filling time to harden and settle completely will help it last its expected time period.
How much do dental fillings cost in Canary Wharf?
Prices will vary according to the type of filling you opt for and how many fillings you need. On average fillings will vary from around £135 to about £150 and above.
