Fillings

Restore Your Smile with Gentle, Natural-Looking Fillings

At Serene Family Dental in Ropes Crossing, we believe every smile deserves to be healthy, strong, and confident. Tooth decay is one of the most common dental problems, but thankfully, it can be treated effectively with dental fillings.

Our friendly team provides gentle, tooth-coloured fillings that restore the strength of your teeth while blending seamlessly with your natural smile. Whether you need a new filling or want to replace old silver (amalgam) fillings, we’re here to help.

What Are Dental Fillings?

A dental filling is a simple treatment used to repair a tooth damaged by decay, cracks, or wear. It restores the tooth’s shape, strength, and function so you can chew comfortably and smile with confidence. At Serene Family Dental, we use composite resin fillings (tooth-coloured fillings) that are safe, durable, and designed to look natural.

When Do You Need a Filling?

  • Tooth sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods
  • Pain or discomfort when chewing
  • Visible holes, chips, or dark spots on your teeth
  • Food getting stuck in certain areas

Sometimes, cavities don’t cause pain in the early stages. That’s why regular check-ups are important — so we can catch decay early and treat it before it gets worse.

  • Safe & Durable – Long-lasting and mercury-free
  • Minimally Invasive – Requires less drilling than traditional amalgam fillings
  • Comfortable Treatment – Our gentle approach ensures a stress-free experience

The Filling Procedure – What to Expect

Examination & Diagnosis: We’ll check your teeth with a visual exam and digital X-rays if needed.

Decay Removal: The decayed or damaged part of the tooth is carefully cleaned away.

The whole process usually takes less than an hour and you can return to normal activities straight after.
