Got a cavity or old filling giving out? At Greenwoods Dental, we offer modern, comfortable filling options that keep your smile healthy and looking great.
What is a dental filling?
A dental filling is one of the most common and effective procedures in dentistry, used to treat a tooth cavity caused by decay. When a cavity develops, the decayed portion of the tooth is carefully removed, the area is cleaned, and the empty space is filled with a durable, biocompatible material — restoring both the function and appearance of your tooth.
At Greenwoods Dental, tooth cavity fillings are a routine part of our preventive and restorative care. Treating a cavity early with a filling prevents further decay, protects the inner layers of your tooth, and helps you maintain strong, lasting oral health.

Your Dental Filling Queries, Answered
Read the most common questions our patients ask about dental fillings.
How do I know if I need a dental filling?
Common signs include tooth sensitivity to hot or cold, visible holes or pits in a tooth, pain when biting, or a tooth that looks stained or darkened. Many cavities cause no obvious symptoms, which is why regular dental check-ups are important.
Does getting a dental filling hurt?
Most patients find the procedure very tolerable. We use local anaesthetic to numb the area, so discomfort is minimal. Laser cavity fillings can be even gentler in many cases.
How long does a dental filling last?
The lifespan depends on the material used and oral hygiene habits. Composite fillings often last 5–10 years, while amalgam fillings may last 10–15 years or longer.
What is the best type of filling for front teeth?
Tooth-coloured composite fillings are usually the best option for front teeth because they blend naturally with your enamel while still providing durability.
Can I eat and drink normally after a filling?
Composite fillings harden quickly, so most patients can eat soon after treatment. It is still wise to avoid very hard, sticky, or extremely hot foods for the first day.
