Fillings at Home in Birmingham – Comfortable Relief Without the Clinic
Tooth decay, broken fillings, or sudden sensitivity can cause significant discomfort. For many patients in Birmingham, travelling to a clinic is not an option. Our Fillings at Home service provides safe, effective treatment in your own home across Birmingham, Sutton Coldfield, Walsall, Solihull, Dudley and nearby areas.
Why you might need a filling at home
- Lost or broken filling leaving a cavity exposed
- Toothache caused by decay or sensitivity
- Sharp edges cutting the tongue or cheek
- Temporary relief while waiting for more advanced treatment
What types of fillings can be placed at home?
We use portable dental equipment and high-quality materials suitable for home environments. Depending on the case, we can provide:
- Temporary fillings: ideal for stabilising a cavity and providing short-term relief.
- Definitive fillings: permanent solutions for small-to-medium cavities when access and safety allow.
- Emergency dressings: applied to cover sensitive areas or fractured teeth until further care is arranged.
How our home filling service works
- Assessment: we examine the tooth and surrounding area, taking a full history and noting any medication.
- Consent: we explain the options, risks and expected results before proceeding.
- Treatment: the cavity is cleaned and filled with appropriate material using portable equipment.
- Aftercare: advice on eating, sensitivity and follow-up is provided in writing.

FAQs – Fillings at Home Birmingham
Are home fillings permanent?
In many cases yes, but some situations require temporary fillings until more advanced treatment can be arranged. We’ll always explain the options clearly.
Do you numb the tooth?
Yes. Local anaesthetic is available if required to ensure the procedure is comfortable.
How long does a filling last?
Temporary fillings can last weeks to months. Permanent fillings placed at home are designed to be long-lasting, depending on the tooth’s condition.
Can you do multiple fillings in one visit?
Yes, if clinically safe and time allows. We discuss treatment priorities at assessment.
