Dental Fillings in Fulham SW6

Dental fillings to repair damaged teeth, relieve discomfort, and protect long term oral health in Fulham and surrounding areas.

What Are Dental Fillings?

Dental fillings are used to repair teeth that have been affected by decay, everyday wear, or minor damage such as small chips or fractures. The aim of a filling is to restore the tooth’s natural shape, strength, and function, while helping to prevent the problem from worsening or leading to pain, infection, or more complex treatment later on.

At Pearly Whites in Fulham SW6, we take a careful, conservative approach to fillings. During your appointment, we assess the tooth thoroughly and explain exactly why a filling is needed, showing you the affected area using modern digital imaging where appropriate. This allows you to clearly understand what’s happening and why treatment is being recommended.

When Might You Need a Dental Filling?

Common signs include

Tooth sensitivity
Pain when biting
Visible holes or dark spots

Food getting stuck in a tooth
Sometimes decay is found during a routine check up before you feel any symptoms. Treating it early helps avoid more complex care later.

Our Approach to Dental Fillings

Comfort focused treatment: We aim to make fillings as comfortable as possible. The area is numbed carefully and treatment is carried out with a calm, unhurried approach.

Clear explanations: You will be shown where the problem is and why a filling is recommended. We explain the steps involved and answer questions before starting.

Protecting the tooth: Our goal is to repair the tooth while preserving as much natural structure as possible.

Types of Dental Fillings

Tooth coloured fillings: These are designed to blend with your natural teeth and are commonly used for visible areas.

Other filling options: Depending on the tooth and level of damage, we may discuss alternative materials or restorative options if suitable.

Your dentist will guide you through the best choice for your situation.
