GENERAL & PREVENTATIVE DENTISTRY
TOOTH-COLOURED FILLINGS
Tooth-coloured fillings, made from composite resin, are used to restore teeth affected by decay or damage, often visible as cavities. A cavity is a hole created by tooth decay, and it’s important to treat it promptly to prevent further damage. These fillings are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural tooth colour, making them nearly invisible. By filling the cavity, the material restores the tooth’s natural function and appearance, stopping the spread of decay.
DENTAL FILLINGS RECOVERY, RESULTS, AND AFTERCARE
After your filling procedure, recovery time is minimal. Depending on the type of filling material used, you may need to wait up to 24 hours before eating solid food to allow the filling to fully set.
For the first two weeks, avoid chewing on anything sticky, chewy, or hard. Discomfort is usually mild and can typically be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
