About fillings

Restoring teeth damaged by decay

A filling repairs a tooth that has been damaged by decay. Once the decay is removed, the space is filled with a material that restores the shape and function of the tooth.

Fillings are a common and effective way to stop decay from spreading further.

Treating small cavities early is usually simpler than treating larger damage later.

Materials

Filling materials

Composite (tooth-coloured)

Matches the colour of your natural teeth, and is often used on visible teeth.

Glass ionomer

Releases fluoride, and is sometimes used for certain fillings, including in children.

Filling materials

Why you may need one

When a filling may be needed

  • Decay

    To remove decay and restore the tooth.

  • Chipped or worn teeth

    To repair small chips or areas of wear.

  • Sensitivity

    To seal areas that cause sensitivity to hot or cold.

  • Early treatment

    Treating small cavities early can prevent the need for more extensive treatment.

Comfort

During and after your filling

Let your dentist know if your bite feels uneven or the filling causes discomfort.

  • Local anaesthesia is usually used to keep the area numb.
  • Some sensitivity can occur for a few days, which usually settles.
  • Avoid chewing hard foods on the filling until your dentist advises it is safe.
