What's at Stake

The Stages of a Cavity — Left Untreated

Cavities are caused by bacteria that produce acid, dissolving tooth structure layer by layer. The further they progress, the more complex and costly the treatment.

Enamel Decay

White spot or early discolouration. No pain. A simple filling or fluoride may be all that's needed.

Dentine Decay

Cavity has reached the softer dentine. Sensitivity begins. A filling is the standard treatment.

Pulp Involvement

Bacteria reach the nerve, causing severe pain. A root canal is now necessary to save the tooth.

Abscess / Tooth Loss

Untreated infection spreads to the bone. Extraction may be the only option, then replacement is needed.

Treatment Options

The Right Treatment at Every Stage

We always recommend the most conservative treatment that achieves the best long-term result — saving as much natural tooth structure as possible.

💧

Fluoride Treatment

Very Early Stage

For the earliest stage (white spot lesion), professional fluoride application can remineralise enamel and actually reverse the cavity before a filling is even needed.

Non-invasive — no drilling
Reverses very early decay
Strengthens enamel long-term
Best for children and early detection

🪨

Tooth-Coloured Filling

Most Common

Modern composite resin fillings are tooth-coloured, bond directly to the tooth, and require removing far less structure than old amalgam fillings. Completed in one visit.

Completed in a single appointment
Mercury-free composite material
Long-lasting and durable

👑

Inlay / Onlay / Crown

Large Cavities

When decay has destroyed a large portion of the tooth, a ceramic inlay, onlay or full crown restores full shape, strength, and appearance — precision-made for your tooth.

Restores severely damaged teeth
Stronger than a large filling
Natural-looking ceramic material
Lasts 15–25 years with care

⚡

Root Canal + Crown

Advanced Decay

When the cavity has reached the nerve, root canal therapy clears the infection, relieves pain, and saves the tooth. A crown then protects it fully.

Eliminates infection and pain

Prevention First

How to Never Get Another Cavity

The best cavity is the one that never forms. These simple, proven habits dramatically reduce your risk when done consistently.

🪥

Brush Twice Daily

Use fluoride toothpaste and a soft brush for 2 minutes — covering all surfaces morning and night.

🧵

Floss Every Day

Floss reaches the 40% of tooth surface your brush can't — where most cavities between teeth start.

🧪

Use Fluoride Mouthwash

A daily fluoride rinse strengthens enamel and reaches areas your brush misses.

🍬

Limit Sugar & Acid

Reduce sugary drinks and snacks. If you do have them, rinse with water immediately after.

💧

Drink Plenty of Water

Water washes away food particles and bacteria. Fluoridated water provides additional enamel protection.

Examination & X-Rays

We detect cavities — including ones between teeth invisible to the eye — using digital X-rays and a thorough visual examination.

Clear Treatment Plan

We show you the cavity on screen, explain what treatment is needed, and quote you the cost before touching a thing.

Comfortable Filling

Local anaesthesia is applied. Most patients feel nothing. The entire filling process takes 30–45 minutes for a single tooth.

Out the Door, Tooth Saved

You leave with a filled, sealed tooth and guidance on keeping it — and the rest of your teeth — cavity-free going forward.

Common Questions

Cavity Questions Answered

No — and that's what makes them dangerous. Early cavities cause no pain at all. Pain typically only begins when the decay has reached the nerve, which is a much more serious situation. This is why 6-monthly check-ups matter even when you feel fine.

Modern composite (white) fillings are extremely durable and in many ways superior to old amalgam fillings. They bond directly to the tooth, require less drilling, contain no mercury, and look completely natural. For large back teeth under heavy chewing load, we may sometimes recommend ceramic inlays for additional strength.

A composite filling typically lasts 7–10 years with good oral hygiene. Ceramic inlays and onlays last 15–25 years. The lifespan depends on your bite, diet, and how well you look after your teeth. Regular check-ups allow us to monitor fillings and replace them before they fail.

Cavities grow progressively. A small cavity that needs a simple filling today will grow through the dentine to the nerve, requiring root canal treatment. Left longer, infection spreads to the bone and extraction becomes necessary. Early treatment is always faster, cheaper, and far less uncomfortable.
