What Is a Dental Filling?
A tooth repair treatment for cavities, minor fractures, and worn areas.
A dental filling is a restorative dental treatment used to repair a tooth damaged by decay, cavity, minor fracture, or wear. The decayed or damaged portion is cleaned, and the space is filled with a suitable material.
The purpose of a filling is to restore the tooth's shape, strength, chewing function, and appearance while preventing further decay.
Early filling can help repair the tooth before the cavity reaches the nerve and requires more complex treatment such as root canal therapy.

The Procedure
How dental filling treatment is done at the clinic.
Dental Examination
The dentist checks cavity depth, tooth structure, sensitivity, bite, cracks, food lodgement, and old filling damage.
X-Ray if Required
If the cavity appears deep or is between teeth, an X-ray may be advised to check decay extent and nerve involvement.
Cleaning the Decay
The decayed or damaged part of the tooth is carefully cleaned while preserving healthy tooth structure.
Filling Placement
A suitable filling material is placed into the cleaned cavity. Tooth-coloured material may be used where aesthetics matter.
Shaping and Bite Check
The filling is shaped to match the tooth, and the bite is checked so it does not feel high while chewing.
Polishing and Advice
The filling is polished and aftercare guidance is given for eating, brushing, sensitivity, and follow-up.
Is dental filling painful?
Dental filling is usually comfortable. If the cavity is deep, the dentist may numb the area before treatment.
Early repair, material and comfort
A simple filling today can help prevent deeper dental problems later.
Do not ignore cavities
Untreated decay can spread deeper and may lead to pain, infection, root canal treatment, or extraction.
Tooth-coloured filling
Composite fillings can match the natural tooth shade and are commonly used for visible areas.
Cost varies
The estimate depends on cavity size, depth, tooth location, filling material, and whether X-rays are needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Dental filling questions patients usually ask first.
When do I need a tooth filling?
You may need a filling if you have a cavity, food lodgement, sensitivity, visible hole, black spot, chipped tooth, cracked surface, or broken old filling.
Is dental filling painful?
Dental filling is usually comfortable, especially when the cavity is treated early. If the cavity is deep, the dentist may numb the area.
What is a tooth-coloured filling, and is it better than a silver filling?
A tooth-coloured filling is designed to match the natural shade of your teeth and is commonly used for visible teeth and aesthetic cavity restoration. The better option depends on the cavity size, tooth position, bite forces, and your preference.
Can a dental filling stop tooth sensitivity?
A filling may reduce sensitivity if it is caused by a cavity, chipped tooth, or exposed dentin. The dentist first checks the exact cause.
What happens if I ignore a cavity?
Ignoring a cavity can allow decay to spread deeper, causing pain, infection, root canal treatment, crown need, or extraction in severe cases.
How long does a dental filling last?
Small fillings can last for several years, but lifespan depends on the material used, cavity size, bite pressure, brushing habits, and whether you grind your teeth. The dentist checks old fillings during routine follow-ups.
Is a filling enough, or do I need a root canal?
A filling is suitable for small to moderate cavities that have not reached the tooth nerve. Root canal is needed when decay or infection reaches the pulp.
What is the approximate cost of dental filling in Viman Nagar?
In India, routine tooth-coloured or composite fillings often fall around Rs. 800 to Rs. 5,000 per tooth, with many small to medium fillings commonly around Rs. 1,000 to Rs. 2,500. The final cost depends on cavity depth, tooth position, material, and whether X-rays are needed.
