Dental Fillings in Grimsby
Cavities are one of the most common dental problems—and one of the easiest to fix when treated early. At Olive Street Dental, we provide comfortable, high-quality fillings to stop decay and keep your teeth strong and healthy.
Dr. Amanpreet Kaur Sodhi and our caring team use modern materials that blend beautifully with your natural teeth, so your restoration is as discreet as it is durable.
Why Do I Need a Filling?
When bacteria damage your tooth enamel, a cavity forms. If left untreated, decay can spread deeper, causing pain, infection, or the need for more extensive treatment.
A filling:
- Removes decay and seals the tooth
- Restores its shape and function
- Prevents further damage
- Protects against sensitivity and infection
Filling Options for Every Smile
We offer a range of filling materials to fit your goals, budget, and the location of your cavity:
Composite Fillings
A popular choice for front or visible teeth, composite fillings are made from tooth-coloured resin that blends seamlessly into your smile. They bond directly to your tooth and are metal-free.
Ceramic Fillings
Crafted from durable porcelain, ceramic fillings are stain-resistant and natural-looking. They’re ideal for larger restorations or patients who prefer a metal-free solution.
Gold Fillings
Gold is strong and long-lasting, making it an excellent choice for back teeth that endure heavy chewing. While more visible and costly, gold fillings can last decades with good care.
Silver Amalgam Fillings
Amalgam fillings have been used safely for generations. They’re durable and cost-effective, though less discreet than tooth-coloured options.
Glass Ionomer Fillings
This material releases fluoride over time to help protect against future decay. It’s often used for small fillings or for children’s teeth.
What Happens During the Procedure?
We make sure your experience is simple and stress-free:
- The area is numbed for comfort.
- The decayed part of the tooth is gently removed.
- Your chosen filling material is placed and shaped.
- We polish and check the bite to ensure a natural feel.
Most fillings are completed in a single visit, and you’ll be able to get back to your day right after your appointment.
