Dental Filling
To repair a cavity & remove decayed tooth & fill space with material
What are Tooth-Colored Fillings?
Tooth-colored fillings is a treatment used to restore teeth damaged by decay, cracks, or wear. The decayed portion is removed, and the space is filled with a tooth-coloured composite material. This restores the toothβs function, prevents further damage, and blends naturally with your smile.
Know What to Look for in a Dental Filling
Precision and Expertise
The success of dental fillings often hinges on a few critical factors. We place great emphasis on these factors, including proper caries removal, surface preparation, and cavity design. Our dental procedures are carried out under magnification (x5 to x40), ensuring that every detail is attended to with utmost precision.
Thorough Contamination Control
Maintaining strict moisture and contamination control during dental procedures is crucial. Our experienced team is well-equipped to manage these conditions effectively, guaranteeing the longevity of your fillings.
Quality Material
We believe in using the best materials for our patients. We have partnered with top-end 3M products renowned for their durability, strength, and longevity. This ensures that your fillings not only look great but also stand up to the rigors of everyday use.
Careful and Thoughtful Shaping
Our approach involves careful and thoughtful shaping of the filling to ensure a smooth and polished surface. This meticulous attention to detail minimizes surface imperfections and bubbles, leaving you with a comfortable and aesthetically pleasing result.
Highly Trained Team
Our nurses are exceptionally well-trained to assist during dental procedures, even in challenging-to-access areas. Their expertise contributes to the overall quality and success of our treatments.
Competitive Pricing
We understand the importance of affordability without compromising on quality. To provide you with the best possible care, we control our prices to match neighboring practices while using premium materials. We prioritize your satisfaction and trust over profit margins.
Know What to Look For in a Dental Cleaning
A quality dental cleaning should be more than a quick polish. Here's what defines a good treatment:
Comprehensive Oral Examination
Not just a cleaning — your dentist should assess your gums, teeth, and oral hygiene before starting.
Gentle, Thorough Scaling
Plaque and tartar should be removed carefully using both ultrasonic and hand instruments, not rushed or overly aggressive.
Polishing with Purpose
Be cautious if polishing is done only with a rubber cup — that’s typically used for children. Adult stains often require airflow polishing (ProphyJet) for effective stain removal. Ask if this option is available.
Cleaning Done by a Dentist vs. Hygienist
When done by a dentist, you're getting care from someone trained to identify and treat overall oral health issues — not just polish teeth. This includes spotting early decay, bite problems, or gum disease.
Charting & Documentation
Are they recording your gum health, pocket depths, or plaque levels? Proper charting helps track progress and detect issues early.
Before & After Visibility
Can you see the difference? A quality clinic will often show you before-and-after images — especially when using high-magnification or intraoral cameras — so you're not just told, but shown what’s been cleaned.
Treatment Overview
Advanced Composite Restoration
A composite filling is a precise, thoughtful treatment designed to restore both function and appearance. It starts with an assessment β your dentist examines the tooth, takes X-rays if needed, and selects a natural-looking shade. Before photos are taken for reference, and if necessary, local anaesthetic is used to keep you comfortable. The tooth is isolated for cleanliness, and only the damaged area is gently removed using magnification for accuracy. The composite material is then layered, bonded, and cured with a special light. After shaping and polishing to match your natural tooth, a final bite check ensures it feels just right. Post-treatment photos show the result β so you can see the difference for yourself.

FAQs
Filling Questions Answered
Why does my newly done filling hurt?
Itβs actually quite common to feel some sensitivity or discomfort after a new filling, but here are a few possible reasons why pain may occur:
Bite Balance Is Slightly Off
Even a tiny height difference on the filling can cause the tooth to take more pressure when you bite β leading to soreness.
Fix: A quick adjustment in clinic usually solves this.Tiny Air Bubble Inside the Filling
Sometimes a small void can form during the filling process. This can make the tooth sensitive to cold or biting.
Fix: The filling may need to be replaced if symptoms donβt improve.Underlying Crack in the Tooth
If you didnβt have pain before the filling but now the pain is sharp or worsening, there may be a hairline crack.
Fix: Dentist will assessβmay require strengthening with a crown or other treatment.Decay Was Deep (Close to the Nerve)
If the dentist mentioned the decay was deep, your toothβs nerve may take time to settle.
In some cases, if pain becomes persistent, throbbing, or wakes you up at night β a root canal may be needed to save the tooth.
When should I contact the clinic?
Pain lasts more than 3β5 days
Sharp pain when biting or chewing
Throbbing pain / pain at night
Sensitivity getting worse instead of better
Weβll check and adjust the bite, take an x-ray if needed, and decide the best next step to get you comfortable again.
How long do composite fillings last?
Composite (tooth-coloured) fillings can last 5β10 years with good oral care and proper technique they can often last longer. Lifespan depends on the fillingβs size, location, bite forces, and habits like grinding or chewing hard foods.
Do they cost more than silver fillings?
Composite fillings may cost slightly more than silver (amalgam) fillings, but we do not recommend amalgam as its use is discouraged worldwide due to mercury content and aesthetic concerns. Composite offers a safer, tooth-coloured, and more modern solution that blends naturally with your smile.
Can you replace my old silver fillings?
Yes, we can safely remove and replace old amalgam fillings with natural-looking composite restorations.
Do they require special care?
No β composite fillings donβt need special care. Simply brush twice a day, floss daily, and see your dentist regularly. Avoid chewing very hard objects (like ice or pens) to keep them lasting longer. You can even start using the filled tooth normally right after your first visit.
