When it comes to protecting your teeth and maintaining a healthy smile, dental fillings are one of the most common—and effective—treatments available today. At V Dental Gajuwaka, we’ve helped hundreds of patients restore their teeth and confidence through safe, painless, and long-lasting filling procedures.
What is a Dental Filling?
A dental filling is a treatment used to repair a tooth damaged by decay, cracks, or minor fractures. It restores the tooth’s shape, strength, and function while preventing further damage.
Think of it like patching a small crack in a wall before it becomes a big, expensive repair—only, in this case, it’s your tooth.
When Do You Need a Filling?
You might need a dental filling if you experience:
- Tooth sensitivity when eating hot, cold, or sweet foods.
- Visible holes or dark spots on your teeth.
- Chipping or cracks in the tooth.
- Persistent toothache or discomfort while chewing.
If left untreated, these issues can worsen and lead to root canal treatment or even tooth loss.
