Tooth-Coloured Fillings in Kothanur, Bengaluru
Tooth-coloured fillings that restore decayed teeth discreetly.
Who it's for
- A cavity found at a check-up or on an X-ray
- Sensitivity to sweet, hot or cold food in one spot
- A small chip, or a worn or broken old filling
- Anyone thinking of replacing an old metal filling — we'll advise if it's worth it
What to expect
- 1We check the tooth and, if needed, take an X-ray to see how deep the decay goes
- 2The area is numbed so the treatment is comfortable
- 3The decay is removed and the tooth is cleaned
- 4Tooth-coloured filling material is placed in layers, hardened with a light and shaped to your bite
- 5We polish the filling and check your bite feels right
Recovery & aftercare
You can usually go back to your day straight away. Wait until the numbness wears off before eating so you don't bite your cheek. Some mild sensitivity for a few days is common; if it lasts or your bite feels high, let us know and we'll adjust it.
Cost
The cost depends on how many teeth need filling, how large and deep each cavity is, and how many surfaces of the tooth are involved. Very deep decay may need a different treatment, such as a root canal or a crown. We'll show you what we see and confirm the cost before we start.
Quick answers
Frequently asked questions
Does getting a filling hurt?
The tooth is numbed first, so most people feel pressure and vibration rather than pain. Tell us at any point if you feel discomfort and we'll stop and help.
How long does a filling take?
A single small filling usually takes one short visit. Larger fillings, or several at once, take longer and may be split across visits.
Are tooth-coloured fillings strong?
Modern composite fillings are strong enough for everyday chewing in most teeth. How long one lasts depends on its size, your bite and how you look after your teeth. If a cavity is very large, a crown may protect the tooth better — we'll tell you if so.
What happens if I leave a cavity untreated?
Decay usually keeps growing. A cavity that could be fixed with a simple filling can reach the nerve over time and cause pain or infection, which may then need a root canal or an extraction.
