Dental Fillings is a widely used treatment to repair teeth that have been damaged by cavities or minor cracks. When bacteria build up on the tooth’s surface, they produce acid that slowly destroys the tooth, creating a hole or cavity. If not treated in time, the damage can become worse and lead to more serious problems like pain, infection, or even tooth loss. Dental Fillings solves the issues by removing the decayed or damaged area and filling it with a special material that restores the tooth’s original shape and strength. This not only improves the function of the tooth, but makes it easier to chew and speak as well as prevents further damage.

At our affiliated clinic, Dental Fillings is performed only after thoroughly cleaning the tooth and making sure all bacteria are removed. Our affiliated clinic offers two types of Dental Fillings which are dental amalgam fillings and dental fillings with tooth-coloured materials. While amalgam fillings are made of strong metal blend and traditionally used for back teeth, we focus on tooth-coloured materials for their natural appearance and modern strength. These materials are safe, effective, and now durable enough to be used even on back teeth. Our affiliated clinic also uses advanced techniques and tools to ensure safety and comfort during every step of the treatment, especially for those who wish to replace old metal fillings with more aesthetic and biocompatible options.

Dental Fillings works by restoring a tooth that has been damaged by decay, cracks, or minor wear. When harmful bacteria in the mouth create acid, it gradually wears down the outer layer of the tooth, forming a cavity. If this decay is not treated, it can spread deeper into the tooth and cause pain, infection, or even tooth loss. The filling works by first removing the decayed or damaged part of the tooth, then sealing the area with durable material that stops bacteria from penetrating back in.

The goal of a filling is not just to fill a hole, but to bring the tooth back to its original strength and shape so that it can function normally. After the filling is placed, it becomes a permanent part of the tooth, allowing you to chew food properly, speak clearly, and avoid further damage. Modern filling materials, especially tooth-coloured ones, also blend in naturally with your existing teeth, providing both protection and a pleasing appearance.
