Dental Fillings in Ahmedabad, ADORN

Dental fillings are a common and effective dental treatment designed to repair and restore teeth that have been damaged by decay or cavities. The procedure involves removing the decayed portion of the tooth and filling the resulting space with a durable material to prevent further decay and restore the tooth's functionality.

Signs You May Need Dental Fillings

Toothache: Persistent pain or discomfort, especially while chewing.

Visible Holes or Pits: Noticeable cavities or holes on the surface of the tooth.

Sensitivity: Increased sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods and drinks.

Painful Chewing: Discomfort or pain when biting down on specific teeth.

The Dental Fillings Procedure

Examination: Our experienced dentist will conduct a thorough examination, which may include X-rays, to assess the extent of decay and determine the need for dental fillings.

Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is administered to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.

Decay Removal: The decayed or damaged portion of the tooth is carefully removed using dental instruments, leaving a clean and prepared cavity.

Filling Placement: The cleaned cavity is filled with a suitable dental material. Common filling materials include amalgam (silver-colored), composite resin (tooth-colored) or porcelain. The choice of material will depend on various factors, including the location and size of the cavity, as well as your personal preference.

Shaping and Polishing: The filling material is shaped to match the natural contours of the tooth, and the surface is polished for a smooth and natural finish.

Amalgam (Silver-Colored) Fillings

Durability: Long-lasting and resistant to wear.

Cost-Effective: Generally more affordable than some other filling materials.

Composite Resin (Tooth-Colored) Fillings

Aesthetics: Blends seamlessly with the natural tooth color, providing a more discreet option.

Conservation of Tooth Structure: Requires less removal of healthy tooth structure compared to amalgam fillings.

Porcelain Fillings

Aesthetics: Resembles natural tooth color and translucency.

Stain-Resistant: Resistant to staining over time.

Aftercare and Recovery
