Dental fillings are a common and effective way to repair teeth affected by decay, damage, or minor fractures. At Supernova Medical Centre, our dental team provides careful, comfortable treatment to remove damaged tooth structure, restore the tooth, and help protect your natural smile.
Fillings replace areas of a tooth affected by decay or minor damage, helping restore its shape, strength, and function.
Treating a cavity early can help prevent decay from spreading deeper into the tooth and reduce the risk of more extensive treatment.
We use tooth-coloured filling materials where appropriate to create a restoration that blends naturally with your surrounding teeth.
From identifying early cavities to restoring teeth affected by decay or damage, our dental team provides practical treatment designed around your individual oral health needs.
We understand that dental treatment can feel stressful, particularly when you’re experiencing tooth pain or sensitivity. Our team takes a careful approach to diagnosis and treatment, explaining your options clearly so you can make informed decisions about your dental health.

From identifying a cavity to restoring your tooth and maintaining your oral health, our team makes the treatment process straightforward and easy to understand.
Arrange an appointment if you have tooth pain, sensitivity, a visible cavity, or concerns about a damaged or previously filled tooth.
If a filling is appropriate, the damaged or decayed area will be carefully removed before the tooth is restored with suitable filling material.
Your dentist will examine the affected tooth and may recommend an X-ray to understand the extent and location of the decay or damage.
Following a thorough assessment, we'll recommend a tailored treatment plan designed to support your health, recovery, and long-term wellbeing.
We'll provide guidance on brushing, flossing, diet, and regular dental check-ups to help protect your restored tooth and prevent further decay.
A dental filling is a restoration used to repair a tooth affected by decay or certain types of minor damage. The damaged portion is removed and the space is filled with an appropriate dental material.
Common signs can include tooth sensitivity, toothache, pain when eating or drinking, visible holes or dark areas on a tooth, or food repeatedly becoming trapped around a particular tooth. Some cavities may not cause symptoms, which is why regular dental check-ups are important.
Your dentist will take steps to keep you comfortable during treatment. Local anaesthetic may be used when necessary, particularly when treating deeper areas of decay.
The time required depends on the size and location of the cavity and the type of restoration needed. Your dentist can provide a more accurate estimate after examining your tooth.
The lifespan of a filling varies depending on the material used, the size and location of the restoration, your bite, and your oral hygiene habits. Regular dental check-ups allow your dentist to monitor existing fillings over time.
Yes. Children may require fillings when a tooth has developed decay or has been damaged. Treating decay early can help protect the affected tooth and support your child's developing oral health.
Decay can continue to spread deeper into the tooth. If it reaches the inner part of the tooth, treatment may become more extensive and could involve procedures such as root canal treatment or extraction. Early assessment can help identify the most appropriate treatment before the problem progresses.
Don’t let tooth decay or damage continue to affect your comfort and oral health. Our dental team is here to assess your teeth, explain your options, and provide appropriate restorative care.
