We are a completely amalgam-free clinic, putting our patients’ long-term health at the forefront of the restorative dentistry we perform.
Fillings can:
Protect your teeth from further treatment in the future.
Stop decay from spreading to healthy teeth.
Give your tooth a natural appearance again.
When a tooth suffers from decay, this needs to be cleaned away to stop it from destroying the tooth altogether to the point of no return. Once we have thoroughly removed the decay, a filling protects and strengthens it so that you can chew and bite properly again.
Our composite tooth-coloured fillings are discreet, fitting in with the natural shade of your tooth and neighbouring teeth.
As a dental practice that values a patient-centric approach, we feel it’s important to offer our patients a two-year warranty on their restoration. This includes our amalgam-free fillings. We are proud to be one of the only dental practices in the area offering this.
Principal Dentist Dr Ali lives and breathes restorative dentistry and helping his patients, having completed extensive further education and training. When you come in to have a restoration like a filling placed, you will never be rushed, and we will put everything in place for your experience to be a pleasant one.
We use rubber dams to isolate the area being treated. Not all practices implement this method, but we wouldn’t ever perform treatment without it, as it improves patient comfort and allows us to be more accurate when working on your teeth.
Our approach to restorative dentistry is to ensure patients go away feeling confident that they have been listened to and that their dental issue has been alleviated.

Beautifully restored teeth
Dental fillings are materials used to restore the function, integrity, and morphology of missing tooth structures, which can result from decay or external trauma. They are also used to repair the worn surfaces of teeth.
Several materials can be used for dental fillings, including amalgam (silver fillings), composite resins (tooth-coloured fillings), gold, and ceramic. Each material has different advantages, such as durability and aesthetic quality, which your dentist can discuss with you.
Signs you might need a filling include tooth sensitivity, toothache, visible holes or pits in your teeth, dark spots on the tooth surface, and pain when eating or drinking something sweet, hot, or cold. Regular dental check-ups can also detect cavities that might not yet be causing symptoms.
The process of getting a filling is typically not painful because it is performed under local anesthesia, which numbs the area. You may feel some pressure during the procedure, but no pain. Some sensitivity or discomfort may occur after the anesthesia wears off but it usually subsides quickly.
Caring for your fillings involves maintaining good oral hygiene practices such as brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and visiting your dentist regularly for check-ups and cleanings. Avoiding excessive consumption of sugary or acidic foods can also help preserve your fillings and overall dental health.
