Restorative Dentistry

Precise Repair, Restored Strength

Dental filling removes the decayed or damaged portion of a tooth and restores it with a durable material by a dentist — repairing minor damage from cavities, decay, or cracks and returning the tooth to full strength and function.

Stops Decay Progression

Removing the decayed portion of the tooth and sealing it prevents further deterioration from spreading.

Prevents Tooth Loss

Restoring damaged structure early helps avoid more extensive treatments such as root canals or extractions.

Restores Tooth Functionality

A properly placed filling returns the tooth's shape and strength, so it bites and functions normally again.

Relieves Tooth Sensitivity

Sealing the cavity reduces the exposure that causes discomfort, easing sensitivity tied to the damaged tooth.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked

How long does a dental filling last?

Most fillings typically last between 5 to 10 years, depending on the material used and your oral hygiene habits.

Is a dental filling painful?

No. A local anesthetic is used to numb the affected area, so the procedure itself is pain-free.

Is it normal to feel sensitive after a filling?

Yes — it is normal to experience some sensitivity to pressure, air, or temperature for a week or two after treatment.

Can I eat after getting a filling?

After a silver (amalgam) filling, it's best to wait 1–2 hours before eating to let the material set properly.
