Dental Filling
What Is a Dental Filling?
A dental filling is a treatment used to repair a tooth damaged by decay (cavity), cracks, or minor fractures. The decayed portion of the tooth is removed, and the space is filled with a special material to restore the tooth’s shape, strength, and function.
All About Dental Filling?
- Removes Tooth Decay
- Restores Tooth Structure
- Prevents Further Damage
The dentist cleans out the decayed or damaged part of the tooth to stop further infection.
A filling material (such as composite resin, silver amalgam, or ceramic) is placed to rebuild the tooth.
The filling seals the tooth, protecting it from bacteria and preventing future decay.
Treatment for Dental Filling
Dental fillings are recommended for:
Tooth cavities (decay)
Small cracks or fractures
Worn-down teeth
Minor tooth damage
Tooth sensitivity caused by enamel loss
The procedure usually takes 20–45 minutes per tooth and is done under local anesthesia to ensure comfort.
