What are Dental Fillings?

Helping You Understand Your Treatment Choices

Dental fillings are one of the most common ways to treat cavities and repair minor damage like chips or fractures. They work by restoring the strength and function of the tooth while helping to prevent further problems.

At Greenfield Dental Care, we offer two types of fillings:

                Amalgam Fillings (Silver): Made from a combination of metals, these are incredibly durable and ideal for teeth that take the most pressure when you chew.

                Composite Fillings (White): A more natural-looking choice, these are crafted from a tooth-coloured resin, blending beautifully with your surrounding teeth.

We’ll talk you through both options at your consultation so you can make the choice that’s right for you.

Composite (White) Fillings

A More Discreet Way to Restore Your Teeth

If you’re looking for a filling that blends in seamlessly with your natural teeth, composite fillings are a fantastic choice. They’re made from a strong, tooth-coloured resin that offers a beautiful, natural appearance.

Benefits of composite fillings include:

• Aesthetic, tooth-coloured finish
• Bonds directly to your tooth, preserving more of your natural tooth structure
• Mercury-free option

Cost of Composite Fillings in Cardiff:
Between £125.00 and £230.00 per filling, depending on size and placement.

What Happens During a Dental Filling Appointment?

A Simple, Comfortable Process

Having a filling placed is a straightforward procedure and usually takes just one visit. Here’s what you can expect:

1. Examination: Your dentist will assess the tooth and discuss the best filling option for you.
2. Anaesthesia: If needed, a local anaesthetic will be used to keep you completely comfortable.
3. Decay Removal: Any damaged or decayed parts of the tooth are gently removed.
4. Filling Placement: Your chosen filling material is shaped and placed into the cavity.
5. Polishing: The filling is carefully polished to make it smooth and natural-feeling.

You’ll be able to eat and talk normally soon after your appointment — with minimal disruption to your day.

Caring for Your New Fillings

Tips to Keep Your Smile Healthy

To keep your fillings — and the rest of your smile — in great condition, we recommend:

• Brushing twice daily with a fluoride toothpaste
• Flossing once a day to clean between your teeth
• Visiting us regularly for check-ups and hygiene appointments
• Avoiding habits like chewing on pens or hard sweets
• Reducing sugary snacks and drinks, which can cause decay

With good care, amalgam fillings can last around 10 to 15 years or more, while composite fillings typically last 5 to 10 years.
