Dental Fillings
The Tooth Filling Process
Removal of Caries and Decay
When you require a filling, our experienced dentist will first remove the damaged and decayed portions of your tooth. This meticulous process prepares the tooth for the next step.
Application of Appropriate Filling Material
The choice of filling material depends on the specific needs of your tooth. Whether it's ceramic, composite, or another suitable material, our dentist will select the best option to restore the structure and integrity of your tooth.
Filling the Hole or Damage
The selected filling material is skillfully applied to fill the void created by decay and wear. This process ensures that your tooth can continue its natural function without the risk of further decay or complications.

Types of Dental Fillings
Composite Fillings
Composite fillings, made of a blend of plastic and fine glass particles, are an excellent choice for those concerned about aesthetics. They can be color-matched to your natural teeth, making them nearly invisible.
Ceramic Fillings
Ceramic fillings, also known as porcelain fillings, provide excellent aesthetics and durability. They are highly resistant to staining and are a preferred choice for visible teeth.
Gold Fillings
Gold fillings, while less common due to their cost, offer remarkable durability. They are often chosen for their longevity, but their yellow color may not appeal to everyone.
Glass Ionomer Fillings
Glass ionomer fillings are a unique option that releases fluoride, making them ideal for patients with a high risk of tooth decay. They are commonly used for children's teeth and as a temporary filling material.
