Dental Fillings
Dental fillings are a fundamental restorative treatment used to repair teeth damaged by decay, cracks or wear. While often medically necessary to treat cavities, modern fillings—particularly tooth-coloured composite resin—seamlessly bridging the gap between health and aesthetics by blending with your natural enamel.
Why You Might Need a Filling?
If left untreated, minor decay progressively grows, eating away more of the tooth, leading to significant pain, infection or even tooth loss. Common signs that a filling may be required include:
Sensitivity: Sharp pain when consuming hot, cold, sweet or acidic foods or drinks.
Visible Damage: Noticeable holes, dark spots or rough edges on the tooth surface.
Discomfort: Pain when biting or chewing, or a persistent toothache.
Take a look at the following example:
Greyness noted underneath the enamel, though the patient had no symptoms
Decay was confirmed
Decay was removed and very close to the pulp
Tooth restored seamlessly with composite resin
