Fillings and Restorations in Kendal
Tooth-coloured composite fillings placed under rubber dam for optimal bonding and longevity.
Modern fillings and restorations in Kendal, placed under rubber dam for cleaner bonding and longer-lasting results. We use tooth-coloured composite that blends into your natural tooth, layered and shaped to match the surrounding teeth. Typical longevity is 8 to 15 years.
What to know
- Matches the colour of your natural tooth. No silver or grey metal on show.
- Modern bonding for a long-lasting, properly sealed result.
- Tooth kept completely dry during placement for a cleaner, longer-lasting bond.
- Old amalgam fillings replaced only when there's a clinical reason, not automatically.
Why Choose Our Fillings
Tooth-coloured
Composite fillings match your natural tooth shade so they blend in rather than stand out.
Kept clean and dry
A small rubber barrier (rubber dam) isolates the tooth so the filling bonds cleanly and lasts longer.
Modern bonding
Fillings are bonded directly to your tooth with modern techniques so they become part of it rather than sitting separately inside.
No metal or mercury
Tooth-coloured composite only. No amalgam, no mercury vapour worries.
Easy to repair
If the filling chips or wears in the future, it can usually be repaired or added to rather than replaced entirely.
Conservative preparation
We remove only the decayed or damaged part of your tooth and keep as much healthy tooth as possible.

The area is numbed so you won't feel any discomfort during the procedure.
Rubber Dam Placement
We isolate the tooth with rubber dam to keep it completely dry during bonding.
Decay Removal
Decayed tooth structure is carefully removed, preserving healthy tooth.
Layered Composite Placement
Composite resin is applied in layers, each cured with a special light.
Shape, Polish & Bite Check
The filling is shaped to your bite and polished to a natural finish.
Investment
Price depends on filling size and complexity
Frequently Asked Questions
When placed correctly under rubber dam with proper adhesive technique, composite fillings are extremely durable. Studies show well-placed composite can match or exceed the lifespan of amalgam. The key is meticulous technique, and that's why rubber dam isolation matters.
