Dental Filling

Dental fillings are a fast and effective way to treat cavities and restore your tooth’s strength. If you have a decayed tooth, your dentist removes the decay and fills it with a durable material, preventing further damage and restoring your tooth’s function.

Why You Need a Dental Filling

Cavities, caused by tooth decay, can lead to pain or infection if left untreated. Fillings help:

  • Stop the spread of decay

  • Restore chewing function

  • Protect your tooth from further damage

Types of Fillings

Your dentist will recommend the best material based on your needs:

  • Tooth-Coloured Fillings (composite resin): Blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, perfect for visible areas.

  • Silver Fillings (amalgam): Durable and cost-effective, ideal for back teeth.

  • Gold Fillings: Strong and long-lasting, though more expensive.

  • Ceramic Fillings: A natural-looking option that resists staining.

​

The Procedure

Getting a filling is quick and simple:

  1. Examination: Your dentist will assess the cavity.

  2. Decay Removal: The decayed portion of the tooth is cleaned out.

  3. Filling Placement: The cavity is filled with the chosen material.

  4. Final Adjustments: Your dentist ensures the filling fits comfortably.

​

Why Choose Fillings?

Fillings are an affordable, effective solution to restore your tooth and prevent future decay.

Aftercare Tips

  • Avoid chewing hard foods for a few hours after your filling.

  • Maintain good oral hygiene to keep your fillings intact for years.
