Repair cavities and restore the shape and function of your teeth.
A dental filling repairs a tooth damaged by decay or a small fracture. The dentist removes the decayed part of the tooth, cleans the space, and fills it with a durable material to restore the tooth's shape and function.
Tooth-coloured fillings are commonly used because they blend in with your natural teeth. Treating a cavity early with a filling can prevent the need for more extensive treatment such as a root canal.
At Apollo Clinic Shyamnagar, the procedure is done under local anaesthesia so that you stay comfortable, and the dentist explains the options available for your tooth.
| Aspect | Details |
|---|---|
| Duration | 30–60 minutes per tooth |
| Preparation | No special preparation; eat beforehand if you like, and tell the dentist about allergies and medicines you take |
| What Happens | The tooth is numbed, decay is removed, the cavity is cleaned, and the filling material is placed, shaped and polished; the bite is then checked |
| Who It's For | People with cavities, chipped or cracked teeth, or worn tooth surfaces |
A filling is recommended when decay or damage has created a hole in the tooth that needs to be repaired.

The tooth is numbed first, so you should feel pressure but not pain. The numbness fades within a few hours.
With tooth-coloured fillings you can usually eat once the numbness wears off, but avoid chewing on the numb side until then. Your dentist will advise you.
Mild sensitivity to hot or cold for a few days is common. Contact the clinic if it worsens or lasts longer.
Fillings can last many years with good brushing, flossing and regular check-ups. Your dentist will advise when one needs replacing.
