If you require a filling, your dentist will begin by gently removing any decay and preparing the area for restoration. The tooth is then carefully filled and contoured to match your natural shape and bite. We use composite resin materials that bond directly to the tooth surface, helping to strengthen it and protect it against further damage.

Treatment is typically completed in one visit and carried out using local anaesthetic for your comfort. Our aim is to make the experience as relaxed and pain-free as possible, explaining each step so you always feel at ease.

What to expect during your appointment

White fillings for a natural finish

As a modern aesthetic and whitening centre, we only use tooth-coloured (composite) fillings for the most natural result. Unlike traditional metal amalgam fillings, white fillings are designed to match the exact shade of your teeth, making them virtually invisible once placed.

Composite fillings not only look better but also require less removal of healthy tooth structure compared to metal alternatives. They bond securely to the enamel, helping to restore strength and function while maintaining the tooth’s natural appearance.

Many patients also choose to replace old metal fillings with white fillings as part of a smile refresh or aesthetic treatment plan. Our team will happily advise whether this is a suitable option for you.

Fillings.

At Petts Hill Dental Practice, we provide high-quality dental fillings in Northolt designed to restore strength, comfort, and appearance to damaged teeth. Fillings are one of the most common dental treatments, used to repair small areas of decay or wear before they develop into more serious problems.

Our experienced clinicians use gentle, modern techniques and tooth-coloured materials to achieve seamless, natural-looking results. Each restoration is carefully shaped to blend with your surrounding teeth, preserving both the health and beauty of your smile.
