I have been a long term patient at this dental practice and I have seen it change owners and different staff have come and gone over the years but never has there been a better dentist than Khurram. His attention to detail and love of all new technology and gadgets make him up to date and outstanding in his field. He has years of experience both in his own practice and formerly at Kettering General Hospital. His professional manner and subject knowledge are excellent which result in high levels of excellent patient care. I trust his judgement and advice 100%. After many years deliberating whether to or not, I decided to get some orthodontic work done. Khurram worked in collaboration with Ise Lodge Dental practice and now I have the smile of my dreams!!! I couldn't be happier with the result...seeing the finished effect was better than any make over reveal on TV.

What are the benefits of fillings at Smiles Ahead?

If you have a cavity or damage to your tooth, a filling is one of the simplest and most effective ways to restore its health and strength. We use tooth-coloured, mercury-free fillings to help patients in Northamptonshire get the smile of their dreams.

Some of the benefits of fillings include:

  • Blending seamlessly with your natural teeth
  • Supporting your tooth structure to prevent further damage
  • No mercury or metal
  • A quick and effective treatment

Why do people in Corby choose fillings?

Our patients opt for fillings to repair teeth that have been damaged by decay, wear, or minor fractures. Fillings restore strength, shape, and function, helping protect the tooth and prevent further problems in the future.

‍

Fillings might be a good option for you if you:

Have visible holes in your teeth
Find that food consistently gets trapped in the same area
Are overly sensitive to hot, cold, or sweet food
Find biting or chewing uncomfortable
Have older metal fillings you’d like to look more natural

Ongoing advice and care

Dental check-up

We’ll often recommend fillings to our patients based on something we see during a routine dental visit. Regular appointments are crucial for your long-term dental health, allowing us to proactively treat issues before they cause bigger problems.

‍

If we suggest a filling, we’ll show you the affected area and talk through the process, providing a full cost breakdown.

Preparing your tooth

Before we fill your tooth, we’ll need to prepare it. This usually involves removing the damaged or decayed portion of the tooth and cleaning the area thoroughly.

‍

If needed, we may offer local anaesthetic to keep you completely comfortable

Placing the filling

We’ll select a composite shade that matches your enamel, and carefully place it in layers to rebuild the natural shape of your tooth. Each layer is set with a blue light, then gently polished for a smooth, natural-looking result.

‍

The process is quick and precise, and can often be completed in a single session.

Ongoing advice and care

You’ll leave with your tooth protected, restored, and ready to function normally again. We’ll offer advice on maintaining your filling, keeping your mouth healthy, and preventing future decay. With regular dental check-ups and hygiene visits, you’ve got the best chance of keeping your mouth healthy.

The most amazing dentist! I know some people dread going to the dentist but every time I’ve visited Smiles Ahead, the staff have always been very friendly and my dentist always makes me feel at ease. I was recommended by a family member and I would highly recommend them myself as they offer a great service and it’s very affordable to spread the cost with Denplan!

The treatment I received was excellent. As the patient you are given a full and thorough examination, and everything is explained step by step. All the staff make you feel at ease. Highly recommende the practice.

Gwenda McLean

I’ve been going to Smiles Ahead for almost 5 years now and I’ve got nothing but great words to say. I called for an emergency appointment for my jaw this January and got booked in really quickly and saw Shree, the new dentist, which was so convenient as she specialises in jaws and aches. Shree did a whole thorough assessment of my jaw, X-rays etc. gave me some exercises, and sorted me out with some really good retainers plus a temporary one to see me through until they were ready. I’m now completely pain free after following her instructions and I couldn’t be happier! The whole team are amazing and all very positive and gentle, which is great for people who maybe aren’t so confident going to the dentist. Thanks Shree and the team!

“Everyone at Smiles Ahead has been so amazing. I had to go in as an emergency patient and they got a slot for me that morning. I had a panicky episode on my first visit but I was given the right support to get me ready for my next visit and tooth extraction. That first evening, I had a call just to check I was doing okay which was greatly appreciated."

Hayley Vann

“Today was my first visit and I would highly recommend! Reception staff were very friendly 
and welcoming and dentist was professional and thorough, he explained everything perfectly.
Thank you so much!”

Frequently asked questions about fillings

Do I need a filling if I’m not in pain?

Potentially. Tooth decay doesn’t always cause pain, especially in the early stages. Treating it early prevents it from spreading deeper and avoids the need for more complex work later. Your dentist will recommend treatment if they think you need it.

Will my filling be noticeable?

We use composite resin that’s colour-matched to your teeth, so the result should be completely natural-looking.

How long do fillings last?

With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, composite fillings can last many years. We’ll check them at every appointment to make sure they’re still doing their job.

Can I replace my silver fillings with white ones?

Absolutely. We regularly help patients who want a more discreet, mercury-free alternative. We’ll assess each filling and advise on the best approach.

Can I eat and drink normally with a filling?

If you’ve had a local anaesthetic, you'll need to wait until the numbness has worn off but after that, your filled tooth will look and feel like a natural one.
