What our Warwickshire patients say





Versatility
Composite materials can be used for various restorative purposes beyond simple fillings, including:

Tooth-coloured fillings
How long do composite fillings last?
With proper care and regular dental check-ups at our Leamington Spa practice, composite fillings typically last 5-10 years. Factors affecting longevity include the filling's size, location, biting forces, and your oral hygiene routine.
Will my tooth-coloured filling be noticeable?
No, our composite fillings are carefully matched to your natural tooth colour, making them virtually invisible. Even fillings in visible front teeth blend seamlessly with your smile, unlike traditional silver amalgam fillings.
Is getting a filling uncomfortable?
Our Warwickshire dentists ensure your comfort throughout the procedure using effective local anaesthesia. Most patients find the experience straightforward and report minimal discomfort. We take time to check you're comfortable before proceeding with treatment.
Can I eat normally after getting a composite filling?
You can eat as soon as the anaesthetic wears off, usually within a few hours. However, we recommend waiting 24 hours before consuming very hard, sticky, or chewy foods to allow the filling to fully set and bond with your tooth.
How do I know if I need a filling?
Signs you might need a filling include tooth sensitivity, visible holes or pits in teeth, pain when biting down, or dark spots on tooth surfaces. Our Warwickshire dentists use advanced techniques including digital imaging to detect decay early, often before symptoms appear.
How are composite fillings placed?
The process involves removing any decay, cleaning the area thoroughly, applying a bonding agent to help the composite material adhere to your tooth, placing and shaping the composite material, and then hardening it with a special light. The entire procedure is usually completed in a single appointment at our Leamington Spa practice.
Are tooth-coloured fillings suitable for all teeth?
Yes, modern composite materials are strong enough for use in back teeth that experience high chewing forces, while also being aesthetic enough for front teeth. At The Grove Practice in Leamington Spa, we use composites for all filling needs.
