Gentle, effective fillings in Hull
If you’ve noticed sharp tooth pain whilst eating or have sensitivity to hot and cold, you may need a filling. Here at 543 Dental Centre, Hull, we offer gentle, effective filling treatment to address the issue and protect your tooth.
What is a filling?
Fillings are used to repair cavities in your teeth and protect against decay. During the filling procedure, the decayed part of your tooth is removed, and the space is filled to restore the tooth and prevent any further problems. It’s one of the most common and straightforward treatments we carry out!
If you’re experiencing:
- Sensitivity to hold, cold or sweet foods/drinks
- Pain when biting or chewing
- A visible hole or dark spot in your tooth
- Food getting stuck in the same place
- Persistent toothache
Then, it’s best to get your smile checked by the professionals at 543 Dental Centre.

FAQs
What are the advantages of white fillings over metal ones?
White fillings have the major advantage of being tooth-coloured, so your filling isn’t noticeable inside your mouth. They’re made of a material that’s mouldable and bonds to your tooth, which means less drilling is required, and less of the tooth needs to be removed to place the filling.
Are there any disadvantages of white fillings?
The only real downside to white fillings is their longevity – they don’t generally last as long as metal amalgam fillings. However, with good oral hygiene, your white filling can be a long-term solution. You’ll be able to discuss your options fully with your dentist before you decide what to go for.
What happens after a filling treatment?
Some patients experience extra sensitivity for up to three weeks after the treatment, which gradually subsides. For most, though, a filling treatment is very straightforward. The anaesthetic wears off after 1-3 hours, and after that you should be able to return to normal activity. Children must be observed until the anaesthesia has completely worn off.
