Dental fillings
Dental fillings are used to fill a cavity (a hole that has formed in your teeth) or other damage such as a chipped tooth. Cavities get bigger over time and can progress to more complex concerns, so the sooner they’re spotted and filled, the less likely you are to have problems later.
These days, no one needs to know if you have a filling. Your Hadleigh Dental Surgery dentist will carefully craft a natural looking filling that’s virtually indistinguishable from the rest of your teeth.
Our focus at Hadleigh Dental Surgery is on preventative dentistry. During your routine oral health assessments your dentist or dental hygienist will flag any concerns they spot that may lead to cavities, advising a home care routine to focus on these areas before they progress.

Initial reaction to my toothache. The diagnosis was thorough, and a further appointment arranged with a specialist. The surgeon explained the procedure, removed the tooth very expertly, and it was much less traumatic than I expected.
