Tooth decay.
We remove decay early to prevent pain and infection, then restore your tooth with a strong filling that blends naturally.
Cracked or broken teeth.
Fillings can repair minor chips or cracks, restoring your tooth’s shape and strength before more extensive treatment is needed.
Worn-down teeth.
If teeth are worn from grinding or use, fillings rebuild structure and protect against further damage.
Replacing old or damaged fillings.
We assess and replace old or failing fillings to maintain tooth health and prevent new problems.
Protect and restore your teeth from common issues.
Dental fillings are a versatile solution to restore and protect your teeth from a variety of common problems. Whether caused by decay, damage, or wear, fillings help preserve your natural teeth and prevent more serious issues down the line.
Fixing tooth damage with natural-looking fillings at Red Lodge.
A dental filling repairs a tooth damaged by decay or injury. The dentist removes the unhealthy tissue and fills the space with a tooth-coloured composite material that’s shaped and polished for a natural finish. This protects your tooth and restores its function, allowing you to chew comfortably again.

Personalised care for lasting results.
At Red Lodge, we combine skilled dentists with a patient-focused approach to restore your smile with precision and care.

We don’t just place the filling and send you on your way. We’ll talk you through how to care for your teeth post-treatment and offer advice to reduce your risk of future decay.
Prevention is always better than cure at Red Lodge.
Regular dental exams at Red Lodge let us spot decay early, before it causes damage that requires larger fillings or more invasive treatment. During check-ups, we also monitor the condition of existing fillings to ensure they remain intact and effective.
Staying on schedule with your exams helps protect your teeth, avoid discomfort and keep your smile healthy for years to come.
Tips for maintaining your fillings:
- Avoid chewing hard foods like ice or nuts that can crack fillings.
- Maintain excellent oral hygiene, brushing twice daily and flossing regularly.
- Attend regular dental check-ups for professional monitoring.
- Report any sensitivity, discomfort or damage immediately.

Your questions about fillings at Red Lodge answered.
Wondering what your visit to Red Lodge will be like? Here are answers to some common questions from new patients.
Got a question we haven’t covered?
Our friendly team is ready to help, just give us a call for a quick response.
With proper care and regular dental visits at Red Lodge Dental Surgery, composite fillings typically last between 7 and 10 years, sometimes even longer. During your routine check-ups, we carefully monitor the condition of your fillings to ensure they remain strong and functional, addressing any wear or issues early. Patients from Suffolk and nearby areas such as Bury St Edmunds, Newmarket and Mildenhall trust us to keep their restorations in excellent condition.
Most patients experience little to no discomfort during the filling procedure thanks to the use of local anaesthetic. We prioritise your comfort throughout the treatment, ensuring the area is fully numb before any work begins. Our gentle approach at Red Lodge helps even nervous patients feel relaxed and at ease.
Composite resin fillings are designed to closely match your natural tooth colour and generally maintain their appearance well over time. However, like natural teeth, they can sometimes pick up slight stains from foods and drinks such as coffee, tea or red wine. Maintaining good oral hygiene and regular professional cleans at Red Lodge helps keep your fillings looking fresh and natural.
If you notice any looseness, discomfort or sensitivity around a filling, contact us at Red Lodge as soon as possible. Loose or painful fillings can expose your tooth to further damage or infection if left untreated. Our team in Suffolk will promptly assess your situation and recommend repair or replacement to restore your tooth’s health and comfort.
Yes! We welcome patients from across Suffolk and nearby towns, including Mildenhall, Newmarket, Fordham, Kentford, Chippenham, Tuddenham, Bury St Edmunds and even Cambridge. We're in a convenient location with free parking, making it easy to travel to us - find us here.
Many of our patients say they spent years dreading the dentist - until they found us. At Red Lodge, we take time to understand your concerns from the very first visit, including completing an anxiety assessment to help personalise your care. With clear explanations, sedation options when needed and a calm, welcoming space, we help even the most anxious patients feel at ease.
No, in most cases, everything you need can be done right here at Red Lodge Dental Surgery in Suffolk. We offer a comprehensive range of treatments, including dental implants, root canal therapy, clear aligners, sedation and surgical extractions, all in-house.

Whether it’s prevention or treatment, we’re here to support your dental health at every stage.
There’s no upper age limit for a straighter smile. Many adults from across Suffolk, including Red Lodge, Mildenhall, Newmarket, Fordham, Kentford, Chippenham, Tuddenham, Bury St Edmunds and Cambridge, choose teeth straightening to boost confidence and improve oral health. If your teeth and gums are healthy, it’s never too late to start.
We offer discreet options like Invisalign, clear aligners and ceramic braces designed to blend naturally with your smile. Most people won’t even notice you’re undergoing treatment.
Treatment length varies depending on your individual needs. Many patients see noticeable results within 6 to 18 months. We’ll provide a personalised estimate during your consultation.
Some mild pressure or soreness is normal, especially when your braces or aligners are adjusted. This usually passes quickly and means your teeth are moving as they should. Our team is here to support you through any discomfort.
Straighter teeth are easier to clean and maintain, reducing the risk of decay and gum disease. Plus, many patients find it boosts their confidence and improves their bite and speech.
You’ll typically have regular check-ins every 6 to 8 weeks so we can monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments. We aim to keep visits convenient and efficient.
Yes, many of our patients find that straightening also improves bite issues like overbite, underbite or crossbite, helping with chewing function and overall oral health.
At Red Lodge Dental Surgery in Suffolk, we offer a comprehensive range of treatments to meet your dental needs. This includes general dentistry like check-ups and fillings, cosmetic treatments such as teeth whitening and veneers, teeth straightening options including clear aligners and braces, dental implants to replace missing teeth, sedation dentistry for anxious patients, root canal therapy, surgical extractions, and more. Our goal is to provide personalised care tailored to your smile and health.
During your initial consultation, our experienced team will carry out a thorough assessment of your oral health. We’ll discuss your concerns, goals, and any specific needs you have, then recommend the most suitable treatment plan. We believe in clear communication and ensuring you feel confident and informed every step of the way.
Most dental treatments are performed under local anaesthetic, which means you won’t feel pain during the procedure. Some patients may experience mild discomfort or pressure during or after treatment, but this usually passes quickly. For patients who feel anxious or sensitive, we offer sedation options to help you relax and have a comfortable experience.
Treatment durations vary widely depending on the procedure and your individual circumstances. For example, simple fillings can be completed in one appointment, while treatments like dental implants or orthodontics take longer and involve multiple visits. We’ll provide you with a clear timeline and explain each step before you begin.
Some treatments, such as routine check-ups and cleanings, usually require just one visit. More complex procedures like root canals, implants or teeth straightening often involve several appointments to ensure the best outcome. We strive to schedule your visits at convenient times and keep you fully informed throughout your treatment journey.
Your safety is our top priority. Our practice follows rigorous infection control protocols aligned with the latest health guidelines. We use modern sterilisation equipment, disposable tools where appropriate and maintain strict hygiene standards. Advanced technology such as digital X-rays and 3D imaging helps us diagnose and plan treatments accurately, reducing risks and improving comfort.
