At Ark-G Dental, the aim is always to restore the tooth carefully while preserving as much healthy structure as possible. Treatment is approached conservatively, focusing on long-term stability, comfort, and a natural appearance.
A filling is used to repair an area of a tooth that has been damaged. After the affected part of the tooth is carefully removed and cleaned, the space is filled with a durable material designed to restore the shape and function of the tooth.
Most modern fillings are tooth-coloured, allowing them to blend naturally with the surrounding enamel.
Not every tooth needs extensive treatment. Before placing a filling, we’ll assess the extent of the damage, the strength of the remaining tooth, and whether a filling is still the most appropriate option.
In some situations, a larger restoration such as a crown may provide a more predictable long-term result. The important thing is choosing the treatment that protects the tooth properly.
Fillings are commonly used for:

The damaged part of the tooth is carefully cleaned and prepared. The filling material is then placed in layers, shaped to fit the tooth naturally, and hardened before being polished smooth. The process is usually straightforward and completed in a single appointment.
A well-placed filling should feel natural and comfortable very quickly. In many cases, you shouldn’t notice it once the tooth settles. The goal is simply to restore the tooth properly while keeping the result as discreet and functional as possible.
If you think you may need a filling, or you’ve noticed sensitivity, discomfort, or damage to a tooth, we can help.

I went to see Margarita at the Ark-G dentist and had a 4-tooth denture made and fitted, and I’m so happy with the results. Thank you again.
Ark Dental & Cosmetic centre is the best dentist that I have been to, very clean and hygienic, the staff and dentists are really lovely, polite, helpful, totally organised, there’s a nice calming atmosphere, and they do not rush.
Excellent service from booking appointments to having treatment, all the staff are lovely. I was nervous like most, but the experience I received was nothing short of excellent. My husband was treated at the Crayford branch as well and was very pleased with the service.

Treatment is usually very comfortable. A local anaesthetic can be used to numb the area if needed.
That depends on the size of the filling, the tooth involved, and how well it’s looked after. Many last for years without problems.
Yes. Modern composite fillings are durable and suitable for many areas of the mouth.
Yes. Older amalgam fillings can often be replaced with tooth-coloured alternatives if appropriate.
Decay tends to progress over time. Treating it early usually means simpler treatment and helps avoid more significant problems later.
The filling material is selected to blend as closely as possible with your natural teeth.
It’s uncommon, but fillings can wear or loosen over time. If this happens, the tooth should be checked promptly.
