Dental Filling: Restore Your Smile
At Soni Dental Hospital, we specialize in providing safe, aesthetic, and long-lasting dental filling treatments in Jaipur to restore your tooth structure, relieve pain, and prevent further decay. Whether it's a simple cavity or a chipped tooth, we offer advanced techniques and materials tailored to your oral health.
What is a Dental Filling?
A dental filling (tooth filling or cavity filling) is a common restorative procedure used to repair teeth damaged by decay, trauma, or wear. The process involves removing decayed tooth matter and filling the cleaned-out cavity with a dental-grade material to restore the tooth's function, strength, and appearance.
Why Do You Need a Dental Filling?
Dental fillings are recommended when you experience:
- Cavities or visible holes in teeth
- Persistent toothaches or pain when chewing
- Sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods
- Worn-out or chipped teeth due to grinding or biting
- Cracks or broken fillings from previous treatments
Delaying treatment may lead to infection, severe pain, or even the need for a root canal.
Types of Dental Fillings We Offer
At Soni Dental Hospital, we use high-quality materials suited to your needs, aesthetic goals, and budget:
1. Composite Resin Fillings (Tooth-Colored)
- Matches your natural tooth shade
- Ideal for front or visible teeth
- Bonds well and is durable (10–15 years)
- Perfect for cosmetic restorations, chipped teeth, veneers, and inlays
2. Ceramic Fillings
- Made from porcelain
- Highly aesthetic and stain-resistant
- Durable and biocompatible
- Best for people with metal allergies
3. GIC (Glass Ionomer Cement) Fillings
- Releases fluoride to protect teeth
- Excellent for children and root surfaces
- Works well for temporary fillings
- Not as long-lasting as composite or ceramic
4. Silver Amalgam Fillings (Limited Use)
- Made from mercury, zinc, copper, and tin
- Strong and long-lasting, but not aesthetic
- Phasing out due to mercury concerns and allergy risk
Our Procedure – What to Expect
Step-by-Step Dental Filling Treatment
Examination & X-Ray
We identify the decay and assess its depth using digital X-rays and visual exams.
Decay Removal
The affected part of the tooth is removed using modern dental instruments.
Tooth Preparation
The cavity is cleaned and shaped for optimal bonding of the filling material.
Filling Application
The chosen material (composite, ceramic, etc.) is placed and hardened with a curing light.
Bite Check & Adjustment
We ensure your bite is aligned and comfortable using articulating paper.
Polishing
Final polishing makes the filling smooth, natural-looking, and comfortable.
What Happens If You Skip a Dental Filling?
Ignoring a cavity or damaged tooth may lead to:
- Pain and infection due to exposed dentin
- Spread of decay to the tooth pulp, leading to Root Canal Treatment (RCT)
- Risk of infection reaching adjacent teeth
- Costlier and more invasive treatments later
