Dental Restorations (Fillings)
Restore your smile with confidence! At Experteeth, our skilled dentists provide high-quality dental fillings to repair cavities, prevent further decay, and bring your teeth back to their natural function and appearance.
What Are Fillings?
Dental fillings are a common restorative treatment used to repair teeth damaged by decay or minor fractures. The process involves removing the decayed portion of the tooth and filling the space with a durable material to restore its shape, strength, and functionality. Fillings not only improve your oral health but also help maintain your smile’s aesthetics.
Why You Might Need a Dental Filling
- Cavities: Tooth decay caused by plaque buildup can create holes in your teeth that need to be filled.
- Cracked or Worn Teeth: Minor fractures or wear from grinding can be repaired with fillings.
- Sensitivity: Exposed areas of the tooth causing discomfort may benefit from a filling to protect the nerve.
- Prevention: Fillings halt the progression of decay, protecting your tooth from further damage.
Types of Dental Fillings We Offer
At Experteeth, we tailor our treatments to your needs and preferences. Our filling options include:
- Composite Resin: Tooth-coloured fillings that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, ideal for visible areas.
- Glass Ionomer: A material that releases fluoride to help prevent further decay, suitable for specific cases.
- Amalgam: A strong, silver-coloured option known for durability, often used for back teeth; however, not commonly used nowadays
The Dental Filling Procedure
- Consultation: We assess your tooth with a thorough examination and, if needed, an X-ray to determine the extent of decay.
- Preparation: Local anesthesia is applied to ensure your comfort, and the decayed area is carefully removed.
- Filling: The cleaned cavity is filled with your chosen material, shaped, and polished for a natural look and feel.

The procedure typically takes 30-60 minutes, depending on the size and location of the cavity.
