Tooth Bonding Recovery for Small Cavities: White Filling Aftercare

Small surface decay clinically known as minor dental caries can be repaired invisibly using tooth-coloured composite bonding instead of unsightly dark amalgam fillings. The decayed speck is gently cleaned away, and composite resin is bonded directly into the space, restoring the tooth to complete strength in thirty minutes.

In our London practice, white composite fillings start from £150 per tooth.

Once you leave our surgery, what is recovery actually like?

If we numbed your gum, wait until that rubbery sensation disappears before eating lunch so you don’t bite your tongue by accident.

Your tooth might have very mild temperature sensitivity for forty-eight hours as the nerve calms down. Stick to soft comfort meals like pasta, jacket potatoes, or soup for the first day.
