What are fillings?

Fillings or dental fillings are used to repair the damaged surfaces of teeth. The surface of teeth may be damaged by small fractures, damaged enamel or decay. It takes 25 to 90 minutes to place a filling in a tooth.

What different types of fillingsare there?

Dental fillings are made of gold, silver, mercury or amalgam, porcelain or ceramic, plastic, composite resin materials or a glass and acrylic mixture called glass inomer.

Is getting a filling painful?

Preparing the tooth to place a filling by removing the decayed portion using a dental drill should not be painful. Some patients find the preparation procedure uncomfortable and painful. The dentist will administer a local anaesthic to ensure that the patient does not feel pain during the procedure.

 

How long does recovery after fillings are placed take?

Patients may experience pain or sensitivity for a few weeks after a filling is placed. The area where the anaesthetic was injected will feel sore for a few days. The gums of the patient will also feel sore for a few days.

How do I care for my teeth after fillings are placed?

Patients should not eat for at least three hours till the anaesthesia wears off. They should not eat or drink anything that is too hot or too cold for a few days. They should avoid very hard food. They should take all prescribed medications correctly. They should follow correct dental hygiene and brush and floss their teeth regularly.

What are the alternatives to placing fillings?

Alternatives to dental fillings are dental crowns, inlays or onlays, or tooth remineralization.

I had an extractionKaren, UK, 03 10 25

Shahrzade and Maddy made me feel so comfortable and at ease. I’m a very nervous patient but they went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable. I had an extraction, I never felt the needle and the pulling of the tooth was very easy. Thank you both.

Otherwise five star treatmentRev, UK, 16 01 26

I can not fault the advice and treatment I recently received at the smile clinic. I was in pain and an emergency appointment was arranged. I needed an extraction and although I was very apprehensive, the extraction was no problem and an impression was taken for an extra tooth to be added to my existing denture. I wonder if the receptionist is not well, overworked, or something had upset her on both my visits. I did not feel welcome. Otherwise, five-star treatment.
