Restore and protect your natural tooth
Dental filling at Dentalship
Dental fillings treat cavities and minor tooth damage caused by decay or trauma. Whether it’s from biting something hard or grinding your teeth, a filling restores function and stops pain before it becomes worse.
About service:
Restore the function, integrity, and shape of a tooth that has been damaged by decay (a cavity) or minor trauma: In dentistry, minor trauma refers to small injuries or damage to a tooth that don’t involve major fractures or deep cracks. This can happen from:
Biting something hard (like ice or hard candy)
Grinding or clenching teeth (bruxism)
Accidental bumps (like getting hit in the mouth with a fork, ball, or during a fall)
Symptoms:
Here's how it works:
Diagnosis: The dentist identifies a cavity or damage in the tooth.
Cleaning: The decayed or damaged portion of the tooth is removed.
Filling: The cleaned area is filled with material to seal the space and prevent further decay.
Common Filling Materials:
Composite resin (tooth-colored, most popular)
Amalgam (silver-colored, very durable)
Ceramic (porcelain, more aesthetic)
Gold (very durable, but costly)
Glass ionomer (used mostly in children or near the gumline)
