Dental Fillings
Dental fillings are like a superhero cape for your teeth—they step in when decay or damage threatens, restoring strength and integrity. At DENTL, we use advanced materials and techniques to ensure your fillings blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, leaving you with a strong, beautiful smile.
Benefits of Dental Fillings
Here’s why dental fillings are a game-changer:
- Restored Function: Fillings repair decayed or damaged teeth, allowing you to chew and speak comfortably.
- Quick and Effective: The procedure is straightforward, often completed in just one visit, with minimal discomfort.
- Natural Appearance: We use tooth-coloured materials like composite resin, so your fillings blend perfectly with your smile.
- Prevent Further Damage: By filling cavities early, you prevent decay from spreading and protect your teeth from more extensive treatments.

The Step-by-Step Process
Getting a dental filling is a breeze at DENTL. Here’s how we make it happen:
1.
Examination and Diagnosis: We start with a thorough examination to identify any cavities or areas of decay. Digital X-rays help us get a clear view, ensuring no problem goes unnoticed.
2.
Preparation: We gently remove the decayed portion of the tooth, cleaning the area to prepare it for the filling. Don’t worry—we keep you comfortable throughout the process using suitable sedation options if needed.
3.
Filling Placement: The chosen filling material, often composite resin, is carefully applied in layers. Each layer is hardened with a special light to ensure a strong bond.
4.
Shaping and Polishing: Once the filling is in place, we shape and polish it to match the natural contours of your tooth. The result? A smooth, natural-looking restoration that’s virtually invisible.
With this careful process, you can trust that your dental filling will be both effective and aesthetically pleasing.
Who Are Fillings Best Suited For?
Dental fillings are perfect for:
- Anyone with cavities or minor tooth damage.
- Patients looking for a quick, effective solution to restore their smile.
- Those who want a discreet, tooth-coloured filling that blends seamlessly with their natural teeth.
Fillings offer a simple yet effective way to protect and preserve your beautiful smile.
