Fixing Cavities Made Easy: How Dental Fillings Work

A tooth filling is a dental treatment that repairs cavities and worn or broken teeth. Fillings restore the structure and function of teeth and can prevent pain, infection, and tooth loss.
During the procedure, your dentist removes decayed tooth tissue under numbing and fills the space with a filling material (e.g., composite resin or amalgam) or GIC (temporary filling). The filling is then hardened with a special light. Finally, your dentist will check that the filling is smooth and the bite feels normal.

When Do You Need a Dental Filling?

Dental fillings are typically used to treat:

Early signs that you may need a filling include sensitivity, pain when biting, or visible holes or dark spots. If not treated in time, decay can progress to the tooth’s nerve, potentially needing a more complex treatment like a root canal.

At iDentistry in Hallam, we offer comprehensive check-ups and digital X-rays to detect cavities early on—so we can treat them quickly and comfortably with a simple dental filling.

Types of Fillings We Offer at iDentistry

We provide a range of safe, durable filling materials, including:

Composite resin: Perfect for both front and back teeth, it matches your tooth colour for a strong bond and a natural appearance.
Glass ionomer fillings (GIC): These fillings release fluoride to help stop further decay and are usually used on children's teeth or non-biting surfaces.
Ceramic filling: Made from high-quality porcelain, ceramic fillings are stain-resistant and long-lasting.

Our dentists will discuss the most suitable option based on the size, location, and function of the tooth being restored.

Frequently Ask Questions

Are dental fillings painful?

No, the treatment is usually quick and performed under local anaesthetic, so you shouldn't feel pain. We will make sure your dental fillings are done gently and with minimal discomfort.

How long do dental fillings last?

The quality of the material used in the filling and how well you take care of your teeth will determine how long your tooth filling lasts. Composite fillings typically last five to ten years, while gold and ceramic fillings can last even longer.

Are dental fillings covered by health insurance?

Most private health funds offer partial or full rebates for dental fillings. We also offer no-gap dental check-ups at iDentistry for eligible patients and transparent pricing on all treatments.
