Dental fillings
Tooth-coloured fillings, shaped with care and precision to blend beautifully with your natural smile
Modern dental fillings for a natural finish
A filling repairs a tooth damaged by decay or wear, restoring its strength and stopping the problem from spreading further.
Using the latest technology, our dentists bring years of real, hands-on experience to every filling, so the end result is a filling that’s indistinguishable from your surrounding teeth.
What is a dental filling?
A filling is a treatment to repair a tooth after decay has been removed, or to fix a tooth that's chipped or worn.
Unlike the metallic amalgam fillings used in the past, our dentists use modern tooth-coloured composite, carefully matched to the shade of your surrounding teeth for the most natural finish.
How much does a filling cost?
The cost of a filling depends on a few factors, mainly how much of the tooth needs restoring and whether multiple teeth are being treated during the same visit. Your dentist will confirm the cost during your appointment, so there are no surprises, but you can also view our pricing guidelines on our pricing page.
Your filling journey at Bath Spa Dentistry
Your examination
Your dentist checks the tooth, using digital imaging if necessary, to see the full extent of any decay. They then explain what treatment involves, giving you plenty of time to ask any questions.
Your filling appointment
In most cases, fillings are completed in a single visit under local anaesthetic. Your dentist removes any decay, then precisely shapes and bonds a tooth-coloured filling to restore the strength and appearance of your tooth.
Aftercare
You can eat and drink as normal once any numbness has worn off, and we'll let you know if a follow-up is needed and you’ll be given a general aftercare plan before you leave.

Do I need a filling?
Signs that you may need a filling include:
- Tooth sensitivity, especially to hot, cold, or sweet foods
- Visible holes or dark spots on the tooth
- Discomfort or pain when biting down
Often, though, decay is picked up before it causes any symptoms at all, which is one of the reasons regular check-ups matter.
If you’re concerned you might need a filling, call us. Our team will answer any questions and book an exam for a time that best suits you.
