Dental Fillings

protect your smile & prevent decay

 

Overview

Strong teeth are essential for overall well-being. However, over time, a tooth's function, structure, and integrity can deteriorate due to factors such as decay, injury, or wear. Dental fillings are a reliable solution for restoring teeth affected by cavities, cracks, fractures, or damage caused by habits like teeth grinding or nail-biting.

If you're dealing with a cavity, a chipped tooth from an accident, or wear from habitual behaviour, our team is here to provide expert care and restore your smile.

Procedure Details

A dental filling can take anywhere between 30-60 minutes from start to finish:

  1. Your dentist will numb your tooth with local anesthesia to ensure you experience as little discomfort during treatment

  2. Any damaged and decayed tissue is carefully removed from your teeth

  3. The chosen type of filling material is applied to affected area

  4. Carefully polish and smooth out any rough edges post filling

  5. A final bite check is done to ensure the repaired tooth feels normal

Types of Dental Fillings

  • The most popular option. The composite material can be customized to match the shade of your tooth and are unnoticeable to anyone

  • A popular option for children and small cavities, these fillings release fluoride, which can help prevent further tooth decay.
