Dental Fillings & Composite White Fillings

Composite fillings are matched closely to your natural tooth shade, making them a popular option for patients who want a more discreet restoration. They can be used to repair decay, replace older fillings and restore chipped areas without changing the natural character of your smile.

Dental Fillings in Guildford are used to repair teeth that have been affected by decay or minor damage. A filling seals the tooth after the damaged area has been removed, helping to restore strength, shape and function. Composite white fillings are made from a durable, tooth-coloured material that bonds directly to the tooth.

• Helps restore teeth affected by cavities
• Can repair chips, wear and minor fractures
• Bonds to the natural tooth structure
• Supports a more natural-looking smile

At Woodbridge Hill Dental Practice, we take a thorough and measured approach to restorative treatment. Before recommending a filling, we assess the tooth carefully and explain your options in clear language. Our goal is to provide treatment that is both practical and long-lasting.

Whether you need a simple filling or a more comprehensive assessment, seeing a trusted dentist in Guildford can help you deal with dental problems early, before they become more serious or expensive to treat.

• Natural appearance — colour matched to your teeth
• Conservative treatment — preserves more healthy tooth
• Versatile — fixes cavities, chips, wear and old fillings
• Comfort and confidence — reduces sensitivity and improves chewing

The procedure is usually straightforward. First, your tooth will be examined and, if necessary, X-rays may be taken to understand the extent of the problem. The decayed or damaged area is then cleaned carefully before the filling material is placed in layers and shaped to fit your bite.

Once the filling has been polished, the tooth should feel smooth and natural. Our team will always make sure the bite feels comfortable before you leave the practice. In many cases, treatment can be completed in a single visit.

After composite filling treatment, it is important to maintain good oral hygiene and attend regular dental check-ups. Brushing twice a day, flossing or using interdental aids, and limiting sugary foods and drinks can all help your restoration last longer.

If you clench or grind your teeth, or if a filling feels high after treatment, let us know. Early adjustments can help protect both your filling and the surrounding tooth structure.
