Teeth Filling

Restore Your Teeth with Safe & Natural-Looking Fillings

At Hampton Dental Surgery, we provide high-quality teeth filling treatments to restore damaged or decayed teeth. Dental fillings help repair cavities, protect your tooth from further damage, and restore its natural function and appearance.

With modern materials and gentle techniques, we ensure your treatment is comfortable and long-lasting.

What is a Teeth Filling?

A teeth filling is a common dental procedure used to repair cavities, minor cracks, or damage in a tooth. The decayed or damaged portion of the tooth is removed and replaced with a durable filling material to restore its structure.

This helps prevent further decay and allows your tooth to function normally again.

Types of Dental Fillings

We offer a range of filling options to suit your needs:

Composite (Tooth-Coloured) Fillings

These blend naturally with your teeth and are ideal for visible areas. They provide excellent aesthetics and are widely used in modern dentistry.

Amalgam (Silver) Fillings

Strong and durable, these are commonly used for back teeth where chewing pressure is higher.

Glass Ionomer Fillings

These release fluoride and are often used for children or areas with less pressure.

Ceramic / Porcelain Fillings

Highly aesthetic and stain-resistant, offering a natural tooth-like appearance.

We make the process simple and comfortable:
