Dental Fillings
Protect Your Teeth, Prevent Decay
Tooth Restoration
Restore Tooth Structure, Restore Your Health
Strong, healthy teeth are essential for overall well-being. Over time, however, a tooth’s structure can decay due to cavities, cracks, or wear from habits like nail-biting. Dental fillings are the perfect solution to repair:
- Cavities
- Cracked or broken teeth
- Teeth worn down by misuse or grinding
Whether you’re dealing with a cavity behind a canine, a chipped tooth from an accident, or damage from tooth-wear habits, Tattva Dental Care is here to help. Plus, we stand behind the quality of our dental fillings with a 5-year warranty for peace of mind.

When is a Dental Filling Necessary?
The telltale signs of tooth decay—pain or sensitivity around a specific area—indicate the presence of a cavity, cracked tooth, or worn-down enamel. To diagnose a cavity, our skilled team at Tattva Dental Care will conduct a thorough examination, which may include:
- Visual Assessment
- Probing/Palpation
- X-rays
These tests help determine the extent of decay and guide the treatment plan. For small cavities, we may take a “wait-and-see” approach. However, if the cavity is large, painful, or in a hard-to-reach area, a dental filling is often the best option.
A filling involves removing the decayed portion of the tooth and sealing the cavity to prevent further decay, restoring your tooth’s strength and function.

Treatment
What Kinds of Fillings Are Available?
At Tattva Dental Care, we offer white fillings, which are natural-looking and durable. There are two main types of white fillings:
- Composite Resin Fillings: Made from composite resin, these fillings blend seamlessly with your natural tooth color. They typically last between 3 to 10 years.
- Porcelain Fillings: Porcelain fillings are the most lifelike and resistant to staining, providing a long-lasting solution that can last 15 to 20 years.

What to Expect When You Get a Dental Filling ?
Numbing the Area
Your dentist will start by numbing the area with a local anesthetic. Once the quick injection is over, you won’t feel any discomfort during the procedure.
Cleaning the Tooth
We’ll clean out the tooth cavity or any old fillings, carefully removing all decayed tooth structure to ensure a clean surface for the new filling.
Placing the Filling
The dental filling is then customized and placed into the cavity, effectively protecting your tooth from further decay.
Polishing and Adjusting the Filling
Finally, your dentist will polish the filling to ensure a smooth surface. A bite test will be done to ensure the new filling fits properly and doesn’t interfere with your bite.
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I prevent cavities?
Here are some proactive steps to help you avoid cavities and maintain your oral health:
- Brush your teeth twice a day for two minutes each time.
- Floss at least once a day to remove plaque and food particles between teeth.
- Eat a healthy, balanced diet, avoiding excessive sugary and acidic foods.
- Visit your dentist every 6 months for routine cleanings and checkups.
Do dental fillings hurt?
No, dental fillings are generally not painful. Our team will ensure you are fully numbed and comfortable during the procedure. Afterward, it may take a few hours for the numbness to wear off, but there should be no pain during the procedure itself.
What is the difference between a filling and a root canal?
A filling removes decayed tissue in a tooth while it is still alive and healthy. A root canal, on the other hand, removes the living pulp (the tooth’s nerve and blood vessels), essentially leaving a “dead” tooth behind. Root canals are more invasive and typically more expensive than fillings.
