Dental Fillings Newcastle

Protecting Your Teeth from Decay and Damage

Dental fillings restore teeth affected by cavities, cracks, or wear. They stop decay from spreading, protect your natural tooth structure, and help you maintain long-term oral health.

At Dentist for Chickens, we provide gentle treatment, clear explanations, and personalised care so you always feel informed and comfortable.

We listen to your concerns, assess your tooth carefully, and explain every step of your restoration.

Dentist for Chickens, we want to see you smile!

How Fillings Help

Fillings restore damaged areas of the tooth, stop decay from growing, and save the remaining structure.
Understanding the process can help you feel relaxed and confident during your appointment.

Your Step-by-Step Dental Filling Journey

1
Step 1: Comprehensive Examination
We examine the tooth, gums, and surrounding area to determine the extent of damage. We also ask about symptoms, daily habits, and previous dental history to personalise your care.
2
Step 2: Digital Scans & X-Rays (If Needed)
We use digital imaging to check the depth of decay or cracks beneath the surface. These images help us plan the right filling type and size for long-term stability.
3
Step 3: Comfort & Numbing Options
We gently numb the area to keep you comfortable throughout the procedure. We ensure you feel settled before starting any treatment.
4
Step 4: Removing Decay
We carefully clean out decay or damaged tooth structure. This prevents further infection and prepares the tooth for a secure restoration.
5
Step 5: Filling Placement
We place a tooth-coloured filling material that blends naturally with your smile. The material is shaped, layered, and cured with a special light for durability.
6
Step 6: Bite Adjustment & Polishing
We check your bite to ensure it feels natural and comfortable. The filling is polished for a smooth and long-lasting finish.
7
Step 7: Aftercare Advice
We explain how to care for your new filling at home. We also discuss long-term prevention strategies to reduce the risk of future decay.
We’re all about your comfort
