A Natural Looking and Healthier Smile Awaits You!
A filling is a dental correction that replaces a portion of a tooth that has been lost due to decay or accidental damage. Super Smile Dental offers state-of-the-art advanced dental fillings in Cardiff. Depending on your clinical needs, cosmetic preferences, and budget, we have a wide variety of dental fillings to choose from.
Different Types of Dental Filling
- Composite and Glass Ionomer Fillings (tooth coloured)
- Porcelain inlays and onlays (tooth coloured)
- Amalgam (silver coloured)
When is it important to get Composite Fillings?
Composite dental filling may be required if any of the following indications are present:
- A tooth that has been cracked or chipped.
- Holes where food becomes lodged.
- While chewing, you may have pain in a specific tooth.
- A filling that has fallen out.
Composite teeth filling is made of glass powder and acrylic resin. New products have become available to use in all areas of the mouth including back teeth.
Dental Filling Benefits
Natural Appearance
When you get white fillings, they blend in with your teeth and are almost undetectable.
Long-Lasting

Prompt and Relaxed Procedure
An anaesthetic will be administered, and in most instances, the procedure will be completed in less than an hour at the Super Smile Dental.
What is the Process for Getting Dental Fillings?
If you visit Super Smile Dental regularly, your dentist will likely detect any cavities before you do. Don’t be concerned if we do manage to locate one. In fact, they’re one of the most readily remedied dental issues, and the process is short and virtually pain-free.
We’ll begin by numbing the region surrounding the affected tooth using a topical anaesthetic. Once it takes action, we’ll clean the area surrounding it to ensure it’s bacteria- and debris-free.
After cleaning the tooth, it’s time to place the filling. Your dentist will have pre-mixed the filler to precisely match the colour of the tooth. They will fill the cavity and put it aside. The procedure is quick — often an hour or less, depending on the number of fillings required. It’s ideal to follow a simple diet for the first day or two after the filling is done, but you may resume your normal dental hygiene regimen immediately as long as you take care of the new filling.

FAQ
-
You’ll be given local anaesthesia after your dentist has established that you require a filling. To eliminate tooth decay, your dentist will first numb you before using a laser, air abrasion, or a drill to remove it. After the deterioration is eliminated, the area is ready for filling.
-
A filling may last anywhere from 7 to 20 years, depending on the placement of the filling, the size of the filling, and your personal dental care. Even though a variety of variables influence the longevity of fillings, the materials used may provide a reasonable indication of how long a certain filling should last.
-
Dental fillings should be cared for in the same manner as your natural teeth. To maintain the health of your teeth and fillings, it is important to brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and floss at least once a day. Preventing tooth decay and damage by eating a well-balanced diet and avoiding sugary beverages is another way to keep your teeth healthy.
-
It is relatively common for patients to have sensitivity in the tooth and surrounding regions after a filling. It may seem like an instantaneous acute pain or a chill, and this sensitivity typically resolves on its own within a few days or weeks.
-
In most cases, a filling may be completed in an hour or less. A straightforward filling may be completed in as little as 20 minutes. This is the same length of time or somewhat longer if the old filling material has to be removed before the new filling is applied.
