Restore your teeth with safe, tooth-colored fillings that blend beautifully for a healthy, confident smile.
A dental filling is a simple and effective way to treat a tooth that has been damaged by decay (a cavity).
During the procedure, the dentist carefully removes the decayed part of the tooth and places a filling material to restore its shape, strength, and function. This also seals the tooth to protect it from further damage.
Getting a cavity filled on time is very important. If left untreated, decay can spread deeper into the tooth and reach the nerve, which may cause pain and lead to a more complicated treatment such as a root canal.

At Roperb Dental, we have moved beyond old metal amalgam fillings. We exclusively use modern, tooth-coloured composite resin for our fillings.
The composite material is matched to the specific shade of your tooth, making the filling virtually invisible.
Composite fillings chemically bond to the tooth structure, meaning less of your healthy tooth needs to be removed to place the filling.
Modern composites are strong and durable, standing up to the pressures of daily chewing.
Our fillings are 100% free of mercury, offering you peace of mind.
Getting a filling at Roperb Dental is a straightforward and comfortable procedure.
If there are indications, We first numb the area around the tooth with anaesthetic to ensure you don't feel anything.
The dentist will gently remove the decayed portion of the tooth and clean the area.
The prepared space is then filled with a tooth-coloured composite resin
Each layer is shaped to match the natural contours of your tooth and hardened using a special curing light.
Once the filling is placed, it is polished to ensure a smooth finish and a proper bite.
Yes. A cavity is permanent damage to a tooth that will not heal on its own. It will only get larger over time. A filling is essential to stop the decay and prevent further damage or infection.
No. For most fillings, we will use a local anaesthetic to completely numb the area. You may feel some light pressure or vibration, but you will not feel any pain.
With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, composite fillings are very durable and can last for many years.
