A guide to the treatment
Tooth-coloured fillings,
A filling appointment where comfort is planned first, anaesthetic used where it helps, pace set by you.
Comfort is not an afterthought here. It is decided before the first instrument is picked up. Anaesthetic, where the tooth needs it, is arranged and given time to take effect. Each step is explained before it happens. A raised hand is enough to pause the appointment, at any point, for as long as you need.

Tooth-coloured fillings
Nothing arrives unannounced
Each stage, anaesthetic, preparation, the composite itself, is explained before it starts.
Numbing, where it counts
A tooth that needs anaesthetic gets it, and the dentist waits, checking comfort before continuing.
A pause, on request
Raise a hand. The appointment stops. It resumes only once you are ready.
How it happens
A filling appointment where comfort is planned first, anaesthetic used where it helps, pace set by you.
Settle first
A moment in the chair, before anything begins. A concern raised now shapes the whole appointment.
Comfort, established
Anaesthetic given where needed, its effect confirmed before preparation starts.
The repair, at your pace
Composite placed, shaped and checked without hurry. A pause offered the moment it is needed.
Questions before a decision
A filling suits anyone, though it particularly suits someone who has found the chair uncomfortable before. Comfort here is standard, planned into the appointment before you arrive.
Will an injection be needed?
Not always. It depends on the depth of the decay and your own preference, discussed before treatment begins.
Should sensitivity be expected afterwards?
Mild sensitivity to cold or pressure is common after a deeper filling. It tends to ease within a day or two. Contact the clinic if it does not.
Can the appointment be paused partway through?
Yes, at any point. There is no need to wait until the end to raise something.
When can eating resume?
The composite sets during the visit, though numbness should wear off first, so a cheek or tongue is not bitten without notice.
An assessment, first
Nothing proceeds until it has been examined properly.
Tell the team what has changed or what concerns you. Everything else, including whether treatment is even necessary, follows only after a proper look.
