Dental Filling is a restorative treatment that repairs tooth cavities, small fractures, or areas of decay. During this treatment, the damaged portion of the tooth is removed and the space is filled with a durable material such as composite resin, amalgam, glass ionomer, porcelain, or gold.

Dental Filling helps restore tooth strength, prevent decay from spreading, and maintain natural tooth structure. They can also improve the appearance of the tooth, especially when tooth-coloured materials like composite or porcelain are used. Depending on the type of filling, results can last 10 to 20 years with proper care.

Dental Filling works by removing decayed or damaged tooth material and replacing it with a strong restorative substance. First, the dentist at our affiliated clinic numbs the area with local anesthesia. Specialized instruments are used to eliminate decay and shape the cavity for optimal material bonding.

For direct fillings such as composite, amalgam, or glass ionomer, the material is placed immediately in the tooth during the same visit. Composite fillings are hardened with a curing light and then shaped and polished for a smooth finish.

For indirect fillings – inlays or onlays, the dentist takes an impression or digital scan, and it will be sent to the laboratory to fabricate the restoration. The final restoration is usually bonded during a second appointment.

1. Consultation and dental assessment will be conducted.
