Dental fillings are one of the most common treatments in dentistry, used to repair decayed, chipped, or worn-down teeth. When cavities form, they create holes in the enamel, making the tooth vulnerable to further damage. Fillings restore the tooth’s shape, function, and strength. At Cosmo Dental Clinic, we offer several types of fillings including composite (tooth-colored), amalgam (silver), ceramic, and glass ionomer—each selected based on the tooth’s location and patient preferences. The procedure is simple: we first remove the decayed portion of the tooth, clean the area, and then fill the space with the chosen material. The result is a smooth, natural-looking tooth that blends seamlessly with your smile. Post-procedure, patients may experience slight sensitivity, which usually subsides in a few days. Maintaining good oral hygiene and avoiding very hard foods can prolong the life of your filling. With proper care, fillings can last many years. Dental fillings are a quick and effective way to restore oral health without major intervention. If you’re experiencing sensitivity or discomfort, a small filling might be all you need to prevent a bigger problem.
