Dental fillings are a common and essential treatment used to repair minor to moderate tooth decay or damage, such as cavities or minor fractures. By restoring the integrity and function of the tooth, fillings prevent further decay and provide a solution that maintains the tooth’s natural appearance. The procedure involves removing the decayed portion of the tooth and filling the area with a material such as composite resin, amalgam, porcelain, or gold. The choice of material often depends on the location of the filling, the extent of the repair, and patient preferences. Dental fillings not only restore damaged teeth but also prevent the progression of decay, ensuring long-term oral health.
The dentist examines the affected tooth and may use X-rays to determine the extent of decay.
Local anesthesia is administered to numb the area around the tooth.
The dentist removes the decayed portion of the tooth using a drill or laser.
The cavity is cleaned to eliminate bacteria and debris.
The cavity is filled with the chosen material, which is then shaped and polished to match the tooth's natural contour.
The dentist checks the bite and makes any necessary adjustments.

Dental fillings are restorations placed in teeth cavities to repair damage caused by tooth decay. They fill the space left behind after decay is removed and restore the tooth’s form and function.
Signs you may need a filling include tooth sensitivity, visible pits or holes in the tooth’s surface, pain when eating or drinking cold or hot foods, or toothache pain. X-rays can detect hidden decay.
Common filling materials include dental amalgam (metal alloy), composite resin (plastic), glass ionomer, and porcelain. Different types have various aesthetic properties, costs, and durability.
A simple small filling may take as little as 30 minutes. More complex or multiple fillings can take 1-2 hours including numbing and bonding time. The dentist will advise you of the expected procedure length.
You’ll receive local anesthesia so the procedure itself should not be painful. Some sensitivity or discomfort may persist for a few days as the area continues healing.
With proper oral hygiene and routine care, fillings typically last 5-10 years before needing replacement. Factors like filling material, location, and biting habits impact longevity.
