Dental Filling
Dental fillings are a common and vital dental procedure designed to treat cavities and restore damaged teeth. At Afya Mile Dental, our skilled dentists provide top-notch dental filling services, preserving the natural structure of your teeth and ensuring a healthy, pain-free smile.
Why You Might Need Dental Fillings
From First Treatment Day to the Last
Comprehensive dental examination, including X-rays, to identify cavities and determine the extent of the damage.
Administration of local anaesthesia to numb the affected tooth, ensuring a pain-free experience during the procedure.
The decayed portion of the tooth is carefully removed, leaving behind a clean, healthy tooth structure.
Selection of an appropriate filling material (composite, amalgam, ceramic) that matches the tooth's natural colour and provides optimal durability.
The chosen filling material is placed into the prepared cavity, shaped, and polished to ensure a comfortable bite and a seamless blend with the natural tooth.
After the filling is placed, the dentist ensures proper occlusion (bite) and provides instructions for post-treatment care, including oral hygiene practices.
