Teeth Fillings / Dental Fillings
A dental filling (commonly known as a teeth filling) is a dental procedure used to restore teeth damaged by cavities, minor fractures, or wear. The process involves removing the decayed portion of the tooth and filling the space with a dental material, bringing back the tooth’s natural shape, strength, and function.
If left untreated, cavities can progress deeper into the tooth, leading to pain, infection, or even the need for root canal treatment or extraction. Dental fillings help restore oral health and prevent further damage.
Why Choose Dental Fillings?
Many people ignore small cavities because they don’t cause pain at first. However, untreated cavities grow quickly and cause bigger problems. Dental fillings are a simple and effective solution because they:
- Restore normal chewing ability
- Prevent cavities from spreading further
- Maintain your natural smile & aesthetics
- Protect teeth from fractures or more serious infections
- Are cost-effective compared to advanced treatments like RCT or crowns
At Risus Multi Speciality Dental Clinic, we recommend early dental fillings to preserve your natural teeth with minimal intervention.
