Tooth Filling

Dental fillings are the first line of treatment for teeth affected by dental caries or pit and fissures. Early restoration prevents the decay from progressing deeper into the tooth. If left untreated, superficial caries can advance to involve the pulp, leading to pain, infection, and the eventual need for root canal treatment. Timely fillings help preserve natural tooth structure, restore function, and prevent more extensive and costly procedures.

A tooth filling is a common restorative dental procedure used to treat cavities and minor tooth damage. When tooth decay develops, bacteria gradually weaken the enamel and create small holes in the tooth. If left untreated, the decay can spread deeper and cause pain or infection.

​

During the procedure, the affected area is carefully cleaned and disinfected. The space is then filled with a strong material that restores the tooth’s structure and appearance. The filling is shaped and polished to ensure comfort and a natural look.

* Restores normal chewing function
* Preserves the natural tooth

Early detection and treatment help avoid more complex procedures like root canal therapy.
