Dental Fillings
Cavities and minor tooth damage are common, but they don’t have to affect your smile. Dental fillings are a simple, effective way to restore the original strength, function, and appearance of your teeth.
What Are Dental Fillings?
Dental fillings are made of composite materials, which are used to repair teeth that have been affected by decay, cracks, or fractures. After removing the damaged tooth portion, the affected area is filled with a durable material that restores the tooth’s shape and function. We use tooth-coloured materials to ensure your fillings blend naturally with your smile.
Signs You May Need a Filling
- Tooth sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweets
- Persistent toothache or discomfort when chewing
- Visible holes, dark spots, or damage on a tooth
- A chipped or worn-down tooth
- Food frequently gets stuck in certain areas.
The Dental Filling Procedure
Getting a dental filling is quick and comfortable:
- The area is gently numbed to ensure a pain-free experience.
- The decayed or damaged tooth area is removed.
- The tooth is cleaned and prepared.
- The filling material is placed, shaped, and hardened.
- Final adjustments are made for a natural bite and feel.
Most dental fillings can be completed in a single visit, allowing you to get back to your day with minimal interruption.
Benefits of Dental Fillings
- Restore tooth strength and function.
- Restores the appearance of your smile.
- Quick, minimally invasive treatment
- Long-lasting results with proper care
How Long Do Dental Fillings Last?
With optimal oral hygiene and regular dental visits, fillings can last many years. Composite dental fillings typically last 5–10 years, while other materials may last even longer, depending on wear and care.
Caring for Your Dental Filling
To extend the life of your dental filling:
- Brush twice daily and floss regularly.
- Avoid biting hard objects, such as pen caps, ice, or other hard objects.
- Visit your dentist for routine checkups and cleanings.
- Address any tooth sensitivity or discomfort early.
