Dental Fillings help to save the decayed tooth from getting further damaged
Cavities are as common as the common cold, but if ignored, they can significantly shorten the life of your tooth. At Aastha Dental and ENT Clinic in South Delhi, we offer advanced tooth-colored fillings to restore your dental health effectively.
Do You Have a Tooth Cavity? Have you ever felt toothache or sensitivity without any clear reason? It might be a sign of dental caries or tooth decay. This occurs when food rich in sugars and carbohydrates, like bread, cakes, biscuits, and chocolates, remains on the teeth for extended periods. Bacteria in the mouth digest these foods and produce acids, which combine with saliva to form plaque. This plaque adheres to the teeth, and the acids in it dissolve the enamel, leading to cavities.
Symptoms of Tooth Cavities:
Cavities often develop without noticeable symptoms.
A chalky white spot, brown, or black stains on the tooth.
Gradual discoloration in any area of the teeth.
Sensitivity to hot or cold foods and drinks.
Pain when chewing or at rest.
Bad breath or an unpleasant taste.
In some cases, small pieces of the tooth may break off.
What Are Tooth Fillings?
Cavities do not heal on their own and will only worsen with time. The best solution is to get the cavity filled. If ignored, the decay can reach deeper layers like dentin or pulp, leading to the need for root canal treatment or even tooth extraction.
At Aastha Dental and ENT Clinic, we use high-quality, biocompatible resin materials for tooth fillings. After removing the decayed portion of the tooth, we fill it with a resin that hardens and strengthens your tooth. Our fillings are natural-looking, durable, and pain-free, giving you a long-lasting solution.
How Long Do Fillings Last?
While tooth fillings are not permanent, a well-placed filling can last between 3-5 years. Regular check-ups with your dentist and maintaining good oral hygiene can help extend the life of your fillings.
Types of Tooth Fillings Available: We offer various types of fillings, including:
Resin Fillings
Composite Fillings
Glass Ionomer Fillings
Silver Fillings
Temporary Fillings
The choice of filling material depends on the extent of decay and your individual needs. At Aastha Dental and ENT Clinic, we use internationally recognized brands like 3M and Dentsply for superior results.
What is a Ceramic or Porcelain Filling?
For larger cavities, we may recommend ceramic or porcelain fillings. In these cases, a digital scan of your tooth is taken, and a perfectly fitting ceramic piece is bonded to the cavity. This method prevents the need for root canal treatments or crowns. We offer this as part of our one-day dentistry services at our clinic in South Delhi.
