Teeth Fillings

What is Teeth Filling?

When a tooth is affected by decay, cracks, or minor damage, dental fillings are a quick and effective way to restore its strength, shape, and function. Our tooth-colored (composite) fillings blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, offering both protection and a natural-looking result.

What Are Fillings Used For?

  • Repairing cavities caused by tooth decay

  • Restoring chipped or worn teeth

  • Fixing small cracks or fractures

  • Replacing old or damaged metal fillings

The Process:

  • Examination & X-rays – We assess the extent of the decay or damage.

  • Gentle Numbing – Local anesthesia is used to keep you comfortable.

  • Decay Removal – The damaged part of the tooth is carefully removed.

  • Filling Placement – A composite resin is applied, shaped, and hardened with a special light.

  • Polishing – The filling is smoothed and adjusted for a perfect bite and feel.

Benefits of Composite Fillings:

  • Natural Appearance – Matches the color of your tooth

  • Strong & Durable – Long-lasting with proper care

  • Minimally Invasive – Preserves more of your natural tooth

  • Quick & Comfortable – Typically completed in a single visit

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How do I know if I need a filling?

+
-

Common signs include tooth sensitivity, pain when chewing, visible holes or dark spots, or food getting stuck in one area. However, cavities often cause no symptoms in early stages, which is why regular checkups are important.

Are fillings painful?

+
-
Not at all. The area is completely numbed with local anesthesia, and the procedure is quick and gentle. Most patients say they feel no pain at all, just slight pressure.

How long do fillings last?

+
-
Composite fillings typically last 7–10 years or longer, depending on oral hygiene, diet, and tooth location. Regular checkups help monitor their condition and catch wear early.

Can you replace old metal fillings?

+
-
Yes! We can safely remove old amalgam (silver) fillings and replace them with natural-looking composite ones — improving both function and appearance.
