Dental Fillings and Teeth Gap Fillings
Durable, natural-looking fillings to repair cavities, minor damage, and small spacing concerns.
Restore and Protect Your Teeth
Modern dental fillings do more than just fix a cavity — they restore strength, protect against further decay, and look natural. We use tooth-coloured materials so repairs blend seamlessly with the rest of your smile.
What we treat
- Cavities caused by decay
- Minor chips and surface damage
- Small gaps between teeth (cosmetic gap filling)
- Worn or weakened tooth surfaces
Our process
After a careful examination, we gently prepare the tooth, place the filling material, and shape it to match your bite. Treatment is typically completed in a single appointment.
Natural-looking
Tooth-coloured composite blends in seamlessly.
Long-lasting
Durable materials built to handle daily wear.
Gentle treatment
Modern techniques for a comfortable visit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the questions our Liverpool patients ask most about Dental Fillings and Teeth Gap Fillings.
Are tooth-coloured fillings safe?
Yes. Modern composite (tooth-coloured) fillings are safe, durable, and bond directly to your tooth. They are mercury-free and considered the standard of care for most cavities today.
How long do dental fillings last?
Composite fillings typically last 7–10 years with good oral hygiene and regular checkups. Lifespan depends on the size and location of the filling and your bite habits.
Can fillings close gaps between teeth?
Yes — composite bonding (gap filling) is a fast, conservative way to close small spaces between teeth without orthodontics. We shape and polish the composite to match your natural teeth.
Does getting a filling hurt?
Most fillings are completed comfortably with local anaesthetic if needed. You may notice mild sensitivity for a day or two after treatment, which usually settles on its own.
