Smile-Saving Cavity Protection
Tooth decay penetrates the surface of your teeth, leaving cavities. This damage can cause toothache and bad breath, leaving you open to dental infection.
Fillings are simple restorations that prevent more significant issues later. Tooth decay can affect you at any age, and whenever a cavity forms, you’ll need a filling.
At The Dental Suite, we use high-quality tooth-coloured fillings designed to last.

Why Do I Need a Filling?
There are several symptoms of tooth decay. You will need a filling if you have sensitivity to hot or cold food and drink, persistent toothache, or acute pain while biting or chewing.
While injuring a tooth may mean you need a filling, tooth decay is the most common reason for this type of repair. Tooth decay occurs through acid erosion.
There are countless bacteria inside your mouth. Many are harmless or even helpful. But some feed on sugar and starch in your diet. When they feed, bacteria produce acid. As bacteria, food debris, and saliva combine, they create a sticky plaque coating.
Plaque is easily removed through regular brushing. If left on your teeth, the acid erodes your dental enamel and cavities form.
If you grind your teeth, it can wear your enamel down. This may also damage your teeth and require repair using a filling.
The Benefits of Fillings
The fillings we use at The Dental Suite have several benefits.
PERFECTLY SUBTLE
Once in place, nobody will see your filling. We use a resin that matches the natural colour of your teeth so they’ll blend seamlessly into your smile.
MADE TO LAST
We use high-quality materials and clinically proven techniques, meaning your fillings will last many years. And, if your filling ever needs repairing, the process is simple.
EXCEPTIONAL PROTECTION
Fillings provide a strong barrier that protects your compromised teeth from harmful bacteria. A filling will prevent dental infections.
The Filling Process
After assessing the affected tooth, we’ll use a local anaesthetic to ensure maximum comfort during your treatment. Before placing the filling, we’ll remove the decayed portion of your tooth. Next, we’ll shape, clean, and dry the tooth.
Once prepped, we’ll fill the cavity with a discreet, tooth-coloured resin before smoothing the filling so your teeth sit correctly when your mouth is closed.
Recovery is brief following treatment. Your mouth may feel numb for a while after you leave. During this time, avoid chewing and don’t drink hot beverages. After the anaesthetic wears off, chew meals on the opposite side of your mouth for the rest of the day.
Some sensitivity is normal for a few days after treatment. You can manage these symptoms with ordinary painkillers.
How to Avoid Tooth Decay
Although tooth-coloured fillings prevent further damage and infection, avoiding decay is always essential. You can minimise the chance of needing fillings by:
- Brushing your teeth thoroughly twice daily
- Using an interdental brush between teeth
- Choosing a high-fluoride toothpaste
- Replacing your toothbrush often
- Reducing the amount of sugar you consume
- Coming to see us for checkups
- Making appointments with our hygienist

Debs Lambley
I was very pleased with the service and dental work carried out at The Dental Suite Nottingham. I was treated with courtesy and respect by all the staff. Bernardo and Diogo explained treatment options and I did not feel pressurised. Maryam, the hygienist, was very gentle. I would recommend this dental practice.
Dr Muhammad Umer
Excellent service! I’ve got my composite bonding and regular clean!
Shirley White
My husband had an urgent appointment for a root canal investigation. Appointment was with Vikesh ably assisted by Ella. He was extremely impressed with the quality of care and the treatment he received. As always he received first class professional expertise combined with kind compassion.
Gurjit Chohan
Excellent service, brilliant staff. Everything explained with what to expect from beginning to end of the procedure ( teeth whitening in my case) from all members of staff. No rush and always open to answering any questions. Really put me at ease with their professionalism and high level of service. Highly recommend.

Having had my braces fitted here a few years ago, I’ve been back multiple times for follow-up procedures and have always felt at ease. The team are professional and really friendly. Maryam and Keily carried out my last cleaning and did a sterling job. I’d highly recommend them to anyone looking for a good dentist/hygienist in Leicester.
Sean Redgate
From the moment the treatment started the care I received has been absolutely first class and the end result is amazing. Nothing was too much trouble and I was made to feel at ease at every visit and any adjustments, concerns or fears were addressed.
Jayne Woodcock
I have undergone bone grafting and dental implant surgery over the last 10 months. Adam and the Dental Suite teams at Leicester and Loughborough have been exceptional in their care and are a credit to their profession. They have been responsive to all concerns raised and have gone over and above to support me through some tough times.
Katharine Hughes
Very professional service – the reception staff were really welcoming, and the dentist put me at ease immediately I have total confidence in the ability of the dentist to deliver my root canal. I highly recommend it.
Joanne Wright
Would definitely recommend the service at the Dental Suite West Bridgford. I had been looking for a dentist who would be able to help me with composite bonding, ahead of my wedding day. The team here were incredibly helpful, completely understanding of my position (and my nervousness of visiting the dentist!) and helped me every step along the way!
Phil Bird
