Dental Fillings is a restorative dental treatment used to repair teeth damaged by cavities or decay. When bacteria enter the tooth and cause deterioration, the decayed portion is carefully removed. This process leaves a small hole or gap in the tooth, which is then filled to restore its shape, strength, and function while preventing further bacterial infection.

Most fillings are completed using composite resin, also known as tooth-coloured fillings. Composite materials are metal-free, durable, and designed to blend naturally with your existing teeth for a seamless appearance. Compared to traditional amalgam (silver) fillings, composite fillings are more aesthetic and do not contain mercury. Our affiliated clinic provides amalgam-free clinic, modern, safe, and natural-looking.

Dental Fillings begins with local anesthesia to numb the area for comfort. The dentist at our affiliated clinic removes decayed tissue using a dental drill or laser. Once cleaned and prepared, the chosen filling material is placed into the cavity. For composite fillings, a special curing light is used to harden the material. The filling is then shaped and polished to ensure a natural appearance and proper bite alignment.

Q1: How long should Dental Fillings last?

Q2: Is Dental Fillings painful?
A2: The treatment is usually not painful because local anesthesia is used. You may feel mild sensitivity or slight discomfort after the treatment, but it typically resolves within a few days.

Q3: Can I eat after Dental Fillings?

Q4: Can I brush my teeth after Dental Fillings?
A4: Yes, you can brush your teeth the same day. Use gentle brushing around the treated area if it feels sensitive.

Q5: Can I floss teeth with Dental Fillings?
