Tooth Filling
At Rock Road Dental, dental fillings are used to repair teeth that have been damaged by decay, small fractures, or wear. A filling helps restore the tooth’s shape, strength, and function while protecting it from further damage. Our aim is to make the treatment as comfortable, efficient, and long-lasting as possible.
We carry out dental fillings with a strong focus on patient safety and precision. Where suitable, we use a rubber dam to isolate the tooth, helping to keep the area clean and dry during treatment. This improves visibility, helps protect the patient from water and dental materials, and allows the filling material to bond more effectively.
Our team uses modern dental equipment, including high-speed and slow-speed rotary instruments, to carefully remove decay and shape the tooth for the filling. We work conservatively, meaning we aim to preserve as much healthy tooth structure as possible while removing only the damaged or decayed parts.
Tooth Filling
Tooth-coloured fillings are commonly used to give a natural appearance, especially for visible teeth. These materials can be matched closely to the shade of your own teeth, helping the final result blend in with your smile. After placement, the filling is shaped, polished, and checked so your bite feels comfortable.
At Rock Road Dental, every filling is completed with care, efficiency, and attention to detail. Whether you need a new filling or replacement of an old one, we will assess your tooth and recommend the most suitable option for your needs.

Tooth Fillings FAQs
Are dental fillings painful?
Most fillings are carried out under local anaesthetic, so the area is numb during treatment. You may feel pressure or vibration, but you should not feel pain.
How long does a dental filling take?
A simple filling usually takes around 30–60 minutes, depending on the size and position of the cavity.
What type of fillings do you use?
Tooth-coloured composite fillings are commonly used because they blend naturally with your teeth. The best material will depend on the tooth, cavity size, and your individual needs.
Can I eat after a dental filling?
You can usually eat once the numbness has worn off. It is best to avoid chewing on the numb side to prevent accidentally biting your cheek or tongue.
How long do dental fillings last?
Fillings can last for many years with good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups. Their lifespan depends on the material used, the size of the filling, your bite, and habits such as grinding.
