- Composite Fillings
At Ringway Dental, we focus on preventive dentistry to help protect our patients from needing restorative dental treatments like fillings.
However, there are times when a treatment such as a filling is necessary in order to repair a tooth and restore it to full function once again.
A composite filling is used to help fill in a gap or cavity in a tooth that may have appeared due to decay, or in some cases due to injury or simple wear and tear.
Regular dental examinations with us here at Ringway Dental means we may discover the need for a filling before you realise anything is wrong. Some patients may well experience a range of symptoms indicating the need for further treatment.
These symptoms include increased sensitivity in the tooth and pain or difficulty when chewing or biting down. It’s important you contact us here at the practice as soon as you can if you are experiencing any of these symptoms as it is likely you require a filling treatment. This is so we can diagnose and resolve the issue before the cavity gets any larger.
While traditionally fillings have been made of either a precious metal – such as gold or a metal amalgam material, here at Ringway Dental we place white, tooth-coloured fillings by default. These white fillings provide a much more natural-looking finish and are made from a highly durable composite resin that is easy to mould and shape.
Restorative dentistry is a fairly routine treatment involving the application of an anaesthetic – so you don’t feel anything in the area being treated. Once this has taken effect, we will remove the decayed and/or infected part of the tooth and thoroughly clean the area.
A gel is then applied to the tooth, which is used as an adhesive for the composite filling material which is then expertly shaped to fit the tooth. The filling will then be ‘cured’ by a special light that helps to harden it into place.
A filling can be cared for just as you would a natural tooth. We recommend brushing your teeth twice daily for two-minutes with a fluoride toothpaste, as well as flossing regularly and visiting us here for regular checkups.
Preventative dental care and regular checkups are vital in order to avoid tooth decay and cavities. We suggest booking regular dental examinations with us so we can diagnose and resolve the issue early. Please see below a breakdown of our filling treatment cost.
Dental Examinations – £70.00
Tooth-Coloured Fillings – From £200.00

This treatment helped our patient avoid jaw surgery… watch on 👀
Her two lateral incisors were positioned further forward, meaning simply adding composite could make them look even more prominent. Invisalign and fixed braces were options but our patient preferred not to go down that route.
Instead, @drdarrentsang carefully layered and blended the composite, using different thicknesses and tints to mask the misalignment and create a natural, uniform finish across the smile.
It’s a case like this that really shows what great dentistry is about. Not just knowing how to do a treatment, but understanding when to adapt, think outside the box and find an approach that works for the patient 👊🏻
Watch until the end to see that final result. Amazing work Dr Darren 😮💨
If this story resonated, drop us a DM to book your consultation.
We can always find a way 😉👌🏻

Did someone say a wedding smile makeover? 👀
Make that plural! 😉
@jessiereneewynter and @farmer_will_ travelled a distance to Ringway to get their smiles wedding-ready.
Will wanted us to focus on the chipped edges. Jessie wanted to add a little more volume as her teeth were quite small.
Listen to @drstephendodd run through the brief and for a quick sneak peek of the result which was finished in one day😍
Then, keep your eyes peeled for our next video to get a closer look at exactly what we did and how their smiles look now! 👀
Thank you both for trusting us with such an important part of your wedding prep. Can’t wait to see your smiles on the day 🥰

WOW - look at that result 🤯
Our patient had dental implants and fixed bridges but was still able to walk out that same day with a new smile. Dental implants were placed first with his teeth then fitted immediately after.
And this is the bit we love! Seeing that smile come together and knowing how much it means to the person wearing it. Hours of planning and creating for one very special final reveal 🥹
For a smile that says it all, you know where to find us 👊🏻👇🏻

A little look behind another one of our cosmetic dentist’s work… @drclairespencer 👌🏻
Before becoming a dentist, Dr Claire worked as a dental technician and lecturer in Dental Technology. So, understanding what goes into creating a great smile is in her DNA.
All of our dentists do general dentistry too including check-ups. But on the cosmetic side specifically, Dr Claire has completed hundreds of smile makeovers , including Invisalign, porcelain veneers and composite bonding.
Take a look at some of the smiles she’s created. You might just find a little inspiration for your own smile! 😉

Let’s talk dentures…
There’s still a misconception that dentures are just for ‘older’ people, but actually that doesn’t have to be the case.
A treatment like dental implants may provide the better long-term option for missing teeth. However there may be countless reasons why a patient doesn’t or can’t go down that route.
For this patient, a denture was the route he wanted after considering all the options. We think the result will surprise you so keep watching! 👀
It just goes to show we’ll always find a way to make sure you leave with a gold-standard smile - whatever treatment path you take 🙌🏻
If you have any questions about how we can help with missing teeth, let us know in the comments or DM us. We’d love to discuss more 🫶🏻
