Fillings
Cavities happen, however well you brush. A filling stops the decay there and keeps it away from the teeth either side.

Finding it early
An examination and a digital x-ray confirm a cavity long before it turns into a root canal. That is the entire argument for check-ups.
White, not silver
Most people now choose composite, matched to the shade of your tooth. Older amalgam fillings can be swapped for white ones when they need redoing anyway.
One visit, and you’re done
The area is numbed — local anaesthetic is free here — the decay is removed, the hole shaped, and the filling placed and polished.
Composite bonding, from £200
The same tooth-coloured composite does a cosmetic job too. Bonding shapes it onto the front of a tooth to repair a chip, close a small gap or even up a worn edge — in one visit, with no drilling of healthy tooth and nothing sent away to a laboratory.
It is the quickest of the cosmetic options and the easiest to undo. Where a tooth is heavily stained or badly worn, veneers from £490 last longer. We will say honestly which one your tooth needs.
Common questions
Will it hurt?
You’ll be completely numb. Most people find the injection the worst part of it, and that’s over in seconds.
How long do white fillings last?
Years, with normal care. We check every filling you have at each appointment.
