· Those in Bangkok looking to treat early-stage cavities.
· Those who want to restore damaged or decayed teeth.
· Those who want to stop the spread of tooth decay.
· Those who wish to avoid more extensive dental treatments.
· Those who wish to get a minimally invasive solution for small tooth fractures.

Dental Filling is a common restorative dental treatment used to repair teeth affected by cavities or minor fractures. When tooth decay damages the enamel, the decayed portion is removed, and the empty space is cleaned and filled with a dental material – typically tooth-coloured composite resin. This not only restores the tooth’s shape and function but also prevents further decay by sealing off vulnerable areas from bacteria.

Dental Filling is most effective when cavities are treated early, helping to preserve natural tooth structure. Benefits include relief from sensitivity or discomfort, restored chewing function, and aesthetic improvement, as modern fillings blend naturally with the surrounding teeth. Regular checkups and prompt treatment with fillings can also reduce the need for more complex procedures like root canals or crowns.

Dental Filling begins with an examination and possibly an X-ray to assess the extent of tooth decay. If the cavity is deep, local anesthesia may be given to numb the area. The decayed portion of the tooth is then removed using a dental handpiece (drill), and the area is thoroughly cleaned to eliminate any bacteria or debris.

Next, a tooth-coloured composite resin is applied to fill the cavity. Adhesive is placed, and the material is shaped to match the natural contours of the tooth. A blue curing light is then used to harden the composite. Finally, the filled tooth is polished and checked to ensure comfort and proper bite alignment.

1. Consultation and assessment will be conducted.
2. Treatment plan and filling material will be discussed.
3. Local anesthesia will be administered.
4. Decayed tooth material will be removed.
5. The cavity will be cleaned, adhesive applied, and composite filling placed.
6. The filling will be hardened with a curing light.
7. The tooth will be polished and the bite will be checked.
8. Post-care instructions will be provided.

<Advantages>
· Restores teeth function and shape
· Prevents further decay

· Filling may need replacement over time
· Does not reverse decay – only restores the damaged part after decay is removed

Q1: How long will Dental Filling last?
A1: Dental Filling can last 5 to 15 years, depending on the material used, the size of the filling, and oral hygiene habits.

Q2: Is Dental Filling painful?
A2: Dental Filling is generally not painful. If the decay is deep, local anesthesia is administered to numb the area. Some mild sensitivity may occur afterward, but it usually subsides quickly.

Q3: Can I eat after Dental Filling?
A3: Yes, eating is possible after Dental Filling. However, it is recommended to wait at least 1 to 2 hours if a composite resin was used and until numbness wears off to avoid biting the cheek or tongue.

Q4: Can Dental Filling fall out?
A4: Yes, Dental Filling can loosen or fall out over time due to wear, tooth grinding, or biting on hard foods. Regular dental checkups help detect early signs of wear or failure.

Q5: How many times can Dental Filling be replaced?
A5: Dental Filling can be replaced multiple times, but each replacement may slightly reduce the natural tooth structure. If a tooth becomes too damaged, other treatments like dental crowns may be necessary.
