Decayed or chipped teeth can often be repaired with white composite fillings that look natural.

However, if the damage is too substantial, particularly on the back teeth, an inlay or onlay would be recommended. Inlays or onlays can be made from a number of strong materials, such as metals or ceramics.

An inlay is a small filling that fits into the biting surface of a tooth. An onlay covers a larger area of the tooth and is better suited to bigger cavities. Gold was traditionally used for these types of restorations. However, in recent times, hard-wearing tooth-coloured porcelain has become a more popular choice of material. This is a more aesthetic way to restore the teeth and create a more natural-looking smile.

How It Works

After a scan of your tooth is done, the inlay or onlay will be made in a dental laboratory by a technician.

While these are being made, you will wear a temporary filling. When your inlay or onlay is ready, we will bond it into place using a special adhesive after removing the temporary filling. Your restored tooth will not only look like a real tooth but also function like one, allowing you to bite, chew and eat without any discomfort.

Had 2x fillings done yesterday (18th March) and I said to my dentist that I was nervous and that I had not been to the dentist in years and the last time was a bad experience. She was so understanding and reassuring and made me feel at ease. Not only that, I felt no pain... At all. There were points I honestly thought I could go to sleep. No discomfort, no negatives at all. I can not recommend them enough and thank you for your work

After many years of orthodontic work. I required permanent restorations to restore my upper front teeth which had naturally formed to be very small in size.Karine liaised with the orthodontist to ensure my bite was correct and that enough space had been given to be able to place composite bonding/build ups to my teeth to achieve the most athletically pleasing result.I am so happy with the result. Karine was extremely precise and took immense care, throughout all my treatment. My confidence has been massively improved, and I now smile showing my teeth in every photo.I am very Thankful to Karine and her team, and would definitely recommend Nailsea Dental Practice.

Since starting along the pathway of private dental care .. Nailsea Dental Practice have been efficient considerate and effective, it is noticeable how proactive they are rather than the NHS reactive model and in less than a year we have made real progress in improving the look and feel of my teeth and this cooperative partnership is looked forward to for the future . Nisha Nathwani comes highly recommended.

Maggie recently replaced a molar which had multiple old metal fillings with a new crown. What a difference in both look and feel ! New crown is a significantly better fit with existing teeth and looks much better. So pleased I went ahead with this procedure and wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Maggie and her team at Nailsea Dental Practice to others.

I hate going to the dentist. I don’t suspect there are too many that don’t. However I’ve just completed a schedule of work required after a post Covid sabbatical and you know what? It wasn’t dreadful.I’d go as far as saying that after the initial couple of appointments I felt no angst in returning for further treatment. I felt quite at ease throughout and it’s a nice relaxed and friendly practice.Am I looking forward to going back?No. But I will.Pleased with the work?Very much so.Cheap?No. But not unreasonable.Best dentist I’ve ever had?Without a doubt.

I broke one of my teeth and managed to get an appointment within in two hours in spite of my regular dentist being on holiday. I think this was pretty amazing and demonstrates to me that the practice is well managed, resourced and keeps some spare capacity in the diary for emergency care.The whole reconstruction process took 7 weeks to complete initially a tempory crown was fitted and then there were two further visits. One for prep and a 3D mouth survey and one to fit the replacement tooth the manufacture of which is outsourced.Quite an interesting process and a lot of high tech equipment and adhesive materials. The dentist explained this all very well and kept me informed on what was happening. I experienced no pain during temporary crown fitting or preparation phase.Selfie of my new tooth attached.Thank you to the team at Nailsea Dental Practice.The whole problem originated from a filling I had 50 years ago that was quite large. So look after your teeth or thay will cost you plenty.

I had a friendly warm welcome into the surgery on my first visit. I said I had fallen out of love with my once straight and white teeth. Maggie and her assistant created a plan for me and the results are terrific! I can’t recommend them enough! Thank you

I recently completed my Invisalign treatment at Nailsea Dental Practice with Karine Haas, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Karine was incredibly professional, attentive, and supportive throughout the entire process. The practice itself is welcoming and efficient, making every visit a positive experience. My teeth look fantastic, and I have had lots of compliments. I highly recommend Nailsea Dental Practice and Karine Haas for anyone considering Invisalign treatment

I am petrified of attending the dentist, so much so I'd put off going for years which consequently led to me needing a bit of work... I was put at ease, no pain at all amd everything was at my pace. I feel so relieved that I can now regularly go to a dentist and feel safe. Highly recommend, especially if you're a nervous patient!

Since first going to Nailsea Dental Practise last year, have had nothing but excellent care. This is thanks to Maggie. I needed a significant amount of treatment and she was transparent from start to finish. Made me feel really at ease with the process we would go down and now after she has made my teeth a lot stronger and healthier.

Karin is an experienced dentist who is kind and listens well.She was empathetic when I decided to change my plan halfway through treatment. A perfectionist with her work.The reception staff were lovely too, telephone always answered. Appointments on time, car parking right outside the door, and prices competitive.Overall a very positive experience. I would be happy to recommend.

I don’t think that going to the dentist is high on anyone’s list of things they want to do. But it helps to find a dental practice where the people are so friendly, knowledgable, professional and competent. The practice is clean and light, as well as having up to date equipment and technology. The reception staff are pleasant and efficient. The hygienists have given me great advice and support about dental self care in a clear and non-patronising way. My dentist is the most sympathetic and professionally competent dentist I have had (over many years and different practices). Overall, the practice inspires trust in me that I will continue to receive a high quality service from people who know what they are doing and do it really well.

After breaking a tooth and being told I was no longer registered with my previous dentist I made contact with the Nailsea Dental Practice. Reception was very understanding and managed to get me booked in very quickly and efficiently. I needed a course of treatment with Maggie Nichols. All was carefully explained and a series of appointments to suit me were booked in and a schedule of costs provided, no unexpected cost shock here !Treatment proceeded as anticipated and pretty much on time.Perhaps most important was how at ease Maggie and her assistant made me feel and how relatively comfortable I felt during the treatment.I have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone new to the area or looking to change.

For anyone looking for a dentist read on. Since childhood my experience with dentistry has been more Hammer House of Horror, rather than a necessary, moderatly inconvenient, time in the chair ensuring my love of all things sweet didn't, have an everlasting affect into adulthood.However, since my first consultation with Kareem and the team, all my faith in the dentistry profession has been restored. I no longer fear the chair. My experience with Nailsea Dental Practice has been overwhelmingly good. All the staff are welcoming and friendly. The atmosphere once you walk in the door is that of calm and professionalism. The care I have recieved has been second to non. The restoration of my smile has been nothing short of miraculous and for anyone considering dental work, complex or not, I cannot recommend this practice highly enough.I only wish I had come across them sooner.

I have been a patient at this practice for many years . All the Dentists and staff that support them are always excellent . I have had three different dentist Warren , Rachael and Maggie. You build up a real rapport with your Dentist and mine is now Maggie and their Dental nurse. They together support you and provide information so that nerves just disappear. I must also mention my hygienist who assists me keep my teeth in tip top condition I am a woman in her 70,s and have 31 teeth I lost one a few years back and have been with the practice since we came to Nailsea back in the mid 80’s . The plan we have means we see the same dentist and hygienist every 6 months ,have access to prompt emergency treatment and a reduction in treatment costs when we need further treatment . It gives us peace of mind. I thoroughly recommend them .

I have been coming to Nailsea Dental Practice with my family for a few years now. They are such a professional and friendly team and so amazing with the kids. My son required some additional dental treatment after a fall and the standard of care and follow up from Dr Karine Haas was exceptional. I would really recommend this practice to anyone moving to the area or looking to move dentists. You will feel really well looked after by Dr Haas and her team.
