What is dental filling?

A filling repairs a tooth damaged by decay (a cavity) or a small break. Tooth-coloured composite fillings are matched to the shade of your tooth.

This is a medical treatment. The doctor or dentist decides at your appointment whether it suits you. Results vary from person to person.

What to expect

  1. 1

    A dentist examines the tooth and explains what's needed.

  2. 2

    The decay is removed and the tooth is cleaned.

  3. 3

    The filling is placed in layers, set with a light and shaped so your bite feels normal.

  4. 4

    Most fillings take 30 to 60 minutes.

Questions people ask

Do I need a filling if the tooth doesn't hurt?

Cavities often don't hurt at first. Your dentist can tell you whether a filling is needed.

How long do composite fillings last?

They commonly last many years, depending on the size of the filling and how it's cared for.

Can I eat after a filling?

Composite fillings are set straight away; your dentist will tell you if you should wait, for example while numbness wears off.
