Dental Fillings in Ravet, Pune
What Are Dental Fillings?
A dental filling repairs a tooth damaged by decay. The decayed portion is removed, and the space is filled with a suitable material to restore the tooth.
Fillings can stop a cavity from progressing and restore the tooth’s shape and function. Tooth-coloured materials may also blend with the surrounding tooth.
- A visible hole or dark spot
- Sensitivity to hot or cold
- Food getting stuck in one area
- Pain when biting or chewing
Signs You May Need a Filling
- A rough or chipped area
- Toothache that comes and goes
- A filling that feels worn or broken
- Decay found during a dental check-up
Our Dental Filling Process
Examination & Diagnosis
The tooth is examined to assess the decay, symptoms and remaining tooth structure. X-rays may be recommended when needed.
Treatment Planning
The appropriate approach and filling material are discussed based on the tooth, extent of decay and your dental needs.
Removing the Decay
The decayed portion is carefully removed while aiming to preserve healthy tooth structure.
Placing the Filling
The selected filling material is placed and shaped to restore the tooth. Tooth-coloured composite may be used where suitable.
Finishing & Bite Check
The filling is finished and your bite is checked so the restored tooth feels comfortable during normal use.
Benefits of Dental Fillings
When decay is limited, a filling can repair the damaged area while helping preserve as much healthy tooth structure as reasonably possible.
Preserves healthy tooth structure
Only the affected area is treated when a filling is clinically suitable.
Restores normal tooth function
A filling can help restore the tooth’s shape for everyday biting and chewing.
Improves tooth appearance
Tooth-coloured composite resin can be used when an aesthetic restoration is appropriate.
Helps stop cavity progression
Removing decay and sealing the area can help prevent further damage to the treated portion.
Usually a straightforward treatment
Many fillings can be completed in a single appointment, depending on the tooth and extent of decay.
Supports conservative treatmentt
Treating decay early may reduce the need for more extensive treatment later.
Recovery & Aftercare
Mild sensitivity or tenderness can occur briefly after a filling, particularly when the tooth was deeply affected by decay. This usually settles as the tooth adjusts.
Follow the instructions given after treatment. Avoid chewing hard foods on the treated tooth until any numbness has worn off. If sensitivity persists, your bite feels uneven, or pain worsens, contact the clinic for review. Regular brushing, flossing and dental check-ups help protect the rest of your teeth.
A filling is part of a wider plan to maintain the tooth. Ongoing care and regular reviews help identify new or recurrent decay early.
