At Stotfold Dental Clinic, we take a conservative approach to treating tooth decay, removing as little healthy tooth structure as possible while restoring and protecting the tooth. We offer composite white fillings, glass ionomer fillings and amalgam fillings, with treatment tailored to your individual needs.
Our tooth-coloured fillings are designed to blend naturally with your smile, while glass ionomer and amalgam fillings may be recommended in certain clinical situations. We also replace old or damaged fillings and provide temporary fillings where needed. If you are experiencing tooth sensitivity, pain or visible decay, early treatment can help prevent more complex dental problems.
Tooth decay occurs when bacteria in the mouth produce acid that gradually damages the enamel, leading to cavities. In the early stages, decay may sometimes be managed with improved oral hygiene and fluoride, but once a cavity forms, a filling is usually needed to restore and protect the tooth.
You may need a filling if you experience:

Early tooth decay does not always cause symptoms, which is why regular dental check-ups are important for detecting problems before they become more serious.
Dental filling appointments are usually straightforward and comfortable. Your dentist will examine the tooth, discuss the treatment plan and may take X-rays if needed.
The tooth is numbed with local anaesthetic before any decay is carefully removed. A composite, glass ionomer or amalgam filling is then placed and shaped to fit comfortably with your bite.
After treatment, mild sensitivity is normal for a few days and usually settles quickly as the tooth adjusts to the new filling.
Filling costs depend on the material used and the size of the cavity. Glass ionomer fillings start from £125 per surface, amalgam fillings from £135 per surface and premium composite white fillings from £225 per surface. Temporary fillings start from £150. All costs are confirmed before treatment begins, with finance available on selected treatments.

Signs you may need a filling include toothache, sensitivity, visible decay or a broken filling. Regular dental check-ups also help detect early tooth decay before symptoms appear.
Dental fillings are carried out under local anaesthetic, so treatment should be comfortable. Some mild sensitivity afterwards is normal and usually settles quickly.
