Fix Cavities, Save Your Smile
Cavities are small holes in your teeth caused by tooth decay. If left untreated, they can grow bigger and lead to pain, infection, and even tooth loss. The good news? Dental fillings can stop the damage and restore your tooth back to its natural shape and function.
Dental fillings are materials used to “fill in” a decayed or damaged part of the tooth after your dentist cleans out the cavity. It helps protect the tooth from further decay and allows you to chew and smile comfortably again.
You may need a dental filling if you experience:
Toothache or sensitivity
A visible hole or black spot on the tooth
Food getting stuck in the same area
A broken or chipped tooth
Sometimes, cavities don’t cause symptoms at first, which is why regular dental check-ups are important.
At Patanjali Dental Centre, we use tooth-colored (composite) fillings that match your natural teeth—so they’re nearly invisible. They’re strong, safe, and perfect for both front and back teeth.
Other types like glass ionomer or ceramic fillings may be used depending on the tooth’s location and your needs.
The dentist removes the decayed part of the tooth.
The area is cleaned and prepared.
The filling material is placed and shaped.
It’s then hardened and polished to look and feel like a natural tooth.
