Dental Fillings

tooth fillings

At EGO dental clinic & practice we use tooth-coloured, mercury-free alternatives. Tooth-coloured fillings are made from a composite resin material that can be coloured to match your tooth. Hence, it gives no impression that tooth has been treated in anyway.

What are Dental Fillings?

Dental fillings are used to cure and treat damaged or decayed teeth, usually in cases of cavities. It is a very common procedure and can be completed in just one sitting.

Who needs a dental filling?

Dental fillings commonly are placed in teeth that have experienced decay or fracture. Following removal of the decay, the filling is placed to restore the tooth to its natural form and function.

A cosmetic filling is a dental treatment whereby composite white filling is used to cure a decayed tooth. This material is filled into the tooth to prevent the decay from spreading as well as to repair any damage that the tooth has gone through. It also reduces the chances of tooth extraction.

The treatment is also intended to prevent serious infections like an abscess.

Composite white filling is composed of acrylic resin and glass. Its white color helps it match the color of tooth, thus giving a natural look as compared to silver amalgam.

The Procedure Involved

A small hole is drilled into the tooth within the damaged area and then the filling is inserted in it completely. Dentist will also give a final polish to make sure that the filling gives a proper, clean and white look that matches your other teeth.

Types of Dental Fillings we offer

Composite or Tooth Coloured – Recommended

A composite tooth filling is typically made of powdered glass and acrylic resin. Filling can be coloured to match person’s existing teeth, making it much less visible.

Process of Dental Filling

  1. Local Anaesthetic will be applied to numb the area.
  2. Decayed portion will be removed from the damaged tooth – (with minimal invasive approach!)
  3. Once the teeth has been cleaned and prepared, the dentist will isolate and fill it with suitable filling material, shaping it like the tooth structure missing so it looks as natural as possible.
  4. You may be asked to bite down to check if the new filling has set in properly or not.
  5. The shape will be adjusted until the filling is comfortable for you.

Post Treatment Advise

Once through with your surgery, our dentist will guide you how to care for your tooth. Generally you have to avoid very hot and very cold beverages or chewing hard food for a certain period of time. Once completely healed, you can go back to normal routine but remember fillings are artificial and need proper maintenance and care.

Dental Filling for Children

Baby teeth are more soft and sensitive as well as porous, which brings them more at risk of decay and cavities. The process is same for kids, as for the adults but children should stop eating 2 hours prior to the procedure.

Please feel free to ask us more about our filling procedure.

I had an amazing experience at Clinic Ego. From the very beginning, the whole team made me feel comfortable, well taken care of, and completely at ease throughout the entire process. The professionalism and kindness of everyone involved really stood out. The results honestly exceeded my expectations I’m genuinely so happy with my new smile. It has made a huge difference for me. Whenever I had questions, everything was handled with patience and support, which I really appreciated. If you’re thinking about dental treatment, I truly recommend Clinic Ego without hesitation. They deserve all the praise and 5 stars.

I have been visiting Charlie and Golnar at EGO Dental Clinic for a number of years now. Them and their whole team are friendly, welcoming, professional and always give the most sound advice. I have had minor to quite major treatments over my time with them and Charlie has been able to 'save' teeth that other dentists have told were not possible. The range of services and treatments on offer are wide ranging and all are carried out to the highest of standards in terms of technical work and hygiene. I would not want to visit anywhere else for any dental work. Thank you

I’ve been a patient at EGO Dental Clinic in Victoria, London for several years now, and I can confidently say the level of care and professionalism is exceptional. This is a truly special, family-run clinic led by a husband-and-wife team, and you can feel that personal touch from the moment you walk in. The reception team are always welcoming, organised, and attentive, making every visit smooth and stress-free. The clinic itself is immaculate.. one of the cleanest and most well-presented dental environments I’ve ever seen. The design is modern, calming, and clearly thought through with patient comfort in mind. What really stands out is the advanced technology they use.. it’s unlike anything I’ve experienced elsewhere and gives you real confidence that you’re receiving the highest standard of care. Most importantly, they consistently deliver results. On my recent visit, they solved an issue that had been bothering me, with clarity, precision, and care. Everything was explained thoroughly, and I felt completely at ease throughout. Despite the premium level of service, their pricing remains fair and transparent, which is rare to find in Central London. If you’re looking for a dentist in Victoria who combines clinical excellence, cutting-edge technology, and a genuinely caring approach, I highly recommend EGO Dental Clinic.
