Dental Fillings in Ipswich

Dental fillings restore teeth that have been affected by decay or minor damage. Once the decayed portion is gently removed, the filling material is placed to rebuild the tooth, allowing it to function normally again. It is one of the most common dental treatments, and our team at Grange Road Dental makes the experience as comfortable as possible.

We use modern tooth-coloured composite fillings that blend naturally with your existing teeth. At Grange Road Dental, we also offer BioClear fillings, a methodology for building up composite resin that provides greater structural integrity for the tooth. BioClear fillings recreate the strength that traditional fillings leave missing, offering better adaptation, smoother surfaces and a stronger result.

One of the advantages of BioClear fillings is that they can often help avoid the need for a dental crown, especially when there are existing cracks in a tooth, as our real case of repairing a cracked tooth behind an old filling shows. By providing structural support in a conservative way, a BioClear filling can be a good option to consider before going down the path of a crown. Our team has specialty training in this technique to provide this level of care for your teeth. BioClear is part of our wider commitment to biomimetic dentistry, a conservative approach that works to preserve healthy tooth structure and recreate the natural strength of the tooth.

The filling process is quick and comfortable. Local anaesthetic is available to ensure you feel nothing during treatment. Most fillings are completed in a single visit, often in under an hour. After your filling, you can return to normal eating and drinking straight away once the effect of the local anaesthetic has worn off.
