Preparation and Filling in Stockholm – Gentle & Professional Dental Care
Do you have a cavity, tooth damage, or an old filling that needs replacement? At Gloss & Floss Dental Care in Södermalm, Stockholm, our experienced, English-speaking dentists provide tooth preparation and filling treatments that restore both function and aesthetics. We focus on gentle, pain-free care in a modern dental clinic with a relaxing SPA-like environment.
What Is a Tooth Filling?
A tooth filling is a restorative treatment that repairs teeth damaged by cavities, cracks, or wear. During the procedure, the decayed part of the tooth is carefully removed, the area is cleaned, and a durable, tooth-colored composite material is applied to restore strength and appearance.
When necessary, we use advanced dental imaging for precise diagnosis and treatment planning.
When Do You Need a Filling?
Common signs that you may require a filling include:
- Sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods and drinks
- Visible holes, chips, or dark spots on your teeth
- Persistent toothache or pain when chewing
- Worn-down or broken old fillings
If decay is extensive, we may recommend a root canal treatment to save the tooth. In cases where the tooth is weakened, a dental crown may provide lasting protection.
Our Approach to Tooth Preparation & Filling
- Comprehensive consultation: We start with a full dental consultation to assess your teeth and discuss your needs.
- Tooth preparation: Any decay or damaged tissue is gently removed, and the tooth is prepared for restoration.
- Composite filling: We use modern, tooth-colored composites that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
- Polishing & bite adjustment: After placement, we refine the filling to ensure comfort and a natural feel.
Additional Protection for Teeth
For patients with tooth grinding (bruxism), we often recommend a custom-made night guard. This helps protect new fillings and reduces stress on the teeth and jaw. If you experience dental anxiety, we also offer sedation options for a calm and comfortable experience.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tooth Fillings
How do I know if I need a tooth filling?
Signs include tooth sensitivity, visible holes, chips, dark spots, or discomfort when chewing. During your dental consultation, we will confirm if a filling is needed.
Does getting a filling hurt?
No, we use local anesthesia and gentle techniques to ensure your comfort. If you experience dental fear, we also provide sedation dentistry for a stress-free visit.
What types of fillings do you offer?
We provide tooth-colored composite fillings that blend naturally with your smile. Unlike traditional amalgam, they are mercury-free and aesthetic. For extensive damage, porcelain veneers or crowns may be recommended.
How long do composite fillings last?
With proper dental hygiene care and regular dental check-ups, fillings typically last between 7–15 years.
What should I avoid after getting a filling?
Avoid chewing hard foods on the treated tooth immediately after the procedure. Good oral hygiene and regular tartar removal & cleaning help extend the life of your fillings.
Are fillings covered by Swedish dental insurance?
Many fillings are partly covered by Swedish dental insurance depending on your age and treatment plan. We provide a clear cost estimate and can also guide you on second opinions if needed.
