Fillings

Untreated cavities and trauma weaken your teeth and cause discomfort. Through our dental fillings, we remove any damaged portions and cover the space with the best materials.

What are Dental Fillings?

Dental fillings are materials used to repair teeth harmed by decay or injuries. We begin by thoroughly examining your teeth to look for any cavities or areas of damage. Once identified, we remove the affected part of the tooth and clean the area to ensure no bacteria remain.

Next, we fill the cleaned-out space with a suitable filling material, shape it, and polish it to match the natural contour of your tooth.

How Long Do Dental Fillings Last?

The longevity of dental fillings depends on the type of material used, the size and location of the filling, and your oral hygiene habits. Generally, they can last over a decade with proper care.

Remember to attend regular dental check-ups, where we can monitor the condition of your fillings and recommend replacement if necessary.

Can I Eat Normally After Getting a Dental Filling?

Yes, you can! However, we recommend waiting until the effect of the anesthesia wears off to avoid accidentally biting the numb area. Once the numbness subsides, you can resume your usual eating habits without any restrictions.
