Discreet, Durable Cavity Treatment at Minti Dental Group
If you’re dealing with tooth decay, wear or minor damage, our expertly placed fillings can restore both the strength and appearance of your smile. At Minti Dental Group in Harlow, we offer a range of high-quality filling materials, from long-lasting amalgam to modern, tooth-coloured composites that blend in naturally with your enamel.
We tailor every filling to your individual needs, preserving as much of your natural tooth structure as possible while ensuring a strong, comfortable fit.
What Are Dental Fillings?
Dental fillings are a routine but essential treatment designed to repair cavities and restore teeth that have been weakened by decay, cracks or trauma. Left untreated, these issues can lead to pain, infection or even tooth loss. A well-placed filling stops further damage and helps keep your tooth healthy for the long term.
Types of Fillings We Offer at Our Harlow Practices
We provide two main types of dental fillings to suit your clinical and cosmetic preferences.
Composite (White) Fillings
Made from advanced resin materials, these fillings are designed to match the natural shade of your teeth. They're ideal for visible areas of the mouth and are often preferred for their discreet appearance.
Amalgam (Silver) Fillings
Durable and time-tested, amalgam fillings are a strong option for back teeth where the pressure from chewing is highest. They're cost-effective and long-lasting, making them a practical choice in many cases.

- Conservative approach that preserves healthy tooth structure
- Local clinicians trusted throughout Harlow for gentle, precise care

What to Expect During Your Filling Appointment
Gentle Assessment
We’ll examine the tooth and take digital X-rays to assess the extent of the damage.
Tooth Preparation
The affected area is gently cleaned and prepared, removing decay while keeping as much of your natural tooth as possible.
Filling Placement
Your chosen filling material is carefully applied, shaped, and bonded to restore the tooth’s form and function.
Bite Check & Polishing
We’ll fine-tune your bite for comfort and polish the surface for a smooth, natural feel.
White Fillings for a Seamless Smile
For patients concerned about the appearance of metal fillings, our white composite fillings offer a highly aesthetic alternative. They can be used not only to repair new cavities, but also to replace older silver fillings for a more uniform, modern look.
Patients from across The Stow, Church Langley, Newhall and the wider Harlow area choose us for discreet, effective restoration that blends beautifully with natural teeth.
To get the most out of your dental fillings, follow these care tips:
- Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste.
- Use floss or interdental brushes daily.
- Visit our hygienists regularly.
- Attend check-ups every six months so we can monitor your restorations.
With proper care, fillings can last many years, and we’ll help you stay on top of their condition at every visit.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Are fillings painful?
No, we use local anaesthetic to make sure you're comfortable. Most patients find it no more uncomfortable than getting a regular cleaning.
2. How long does a filling take?
Most fillings are completed in a single 30 to 45 minute appointment. Larger or more complex fillings may take a little longer, but you'll be in and out the same day.
3. Will a white filling stain or discolour over time?
4. Can you replace my old silver fillings with white ones?
Yes. Many patients choose to replace amalgam fillings with tooth-coloured composite for a cleaner, more natural look. We'll assess each tooth first to make sure replacement is the right choice.
5. How do I know if I need a filling?
Common signs include sensitivity to hot or cold, a dull ache when biting, a visible hole or dark spot, food repeatedly catching in the same tooth, or a rough edge you can feel with your tongue. Some cavities have no symptoms at all, which is why regular check-ups matter.
