Fillings are recommended when a tooth has been weakened by decay or small fractures. Treating these issues early helps avoid more extensive procedures in the future.

Common reasons for fillings include:

• Cavities caused by tooth decay
• Chipped or worn teeth
• Minor cracks or damage
• Replacing old or worn-out fillings

Your comfort is our priority. The area around the tooth is gently numbed before removing any decay. The tooth is then carefully cleaned and restored using a tooth-colored composite material that blends naturally with your smile.

The process is quick, precise, and typically completed in a single visit, allowing you to return to your normal routine shortly after.

Returning to Daily Activities
Most patients can resume normal activities immediately after their appointment.

Sensitivity
It’s normal to experience mild sensitivity to hot or cold for a short time after your filling. This usually subsides within a few days.

Eating & Care
Avoid chewing on hard foods on the treated side until the numbness wears off. Maintaining good oral hygiene and regular checkups will help extend the life of your filling.

At Dr. Do Dental, we use high-quality, tooth-colored materials to ensure your fillings are both durable and aesthetically pleasing. Our goal is to restore your tooth’s strength and function while keeping your smile looking natural and healthy.
