Normal Restoration/ Filling of Tooth
Overview
Dental restoration, commonly known as a dental filling, is a procedure used to repair missing tooth structure caused by decay or external trauma. When tooth decay or damage is limited to the enamel or dentin and hasn’t reached the pulp (nerve), it can often be treated with a dental filling.
Symptoms – When Should You Consider Normal Restoration/Filling of Tooth?
Consider getting a dental filling if you experience:
- Toothache or sensitivity to temperature, pressure, or sweet foods.
- Sudden or throbbing pain while biting or chewing.
- Visible signs such as dark spots on your teeth, holes, food constantly getting stuck between teeth, rough or broken teeth, or a lost filling.
If the damage is extensive and involves the tooth’s nerve, you may require a root canal treatment followed by crown placement.

Our process
Step 1 – Clinical Examination and X-Rays: Our experts will thoroughly examine your tooth both clinically and radiographically. This assessment helps in determining the extent of tooth decay or damage and the most suitable restoration approach.
Step 2 – Removal of Carious Tissue: In the next step, we begin by gently and precisely removing the decayed portion of the tooth. This process ensures complete removal of the carious tissue, leaving behind a clean and caries-free surface.
Step 3 – Application of Restorative Material: Once the tooth is free from decay, we move on to the application of the chosen restorative material. Our skilled clinicians ensure that the restorative material is carefully and meticulously applied, with proper isolation to maintain its integrity.
Step 4 – Finishing and Polishing: The final step involves finishing and polishing the restoration. We meticulously shape and polish the filling to provide a smooth surface that resembles your natural tooth. This not only enhances the aesthetics but also ensures comfort and longevity.
With these four steps, we aim to restore your tooth’s function and appearance effectively. If you have any further questions or would like to schedule a dental filling procedure, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Frequently asked questions
A tooth can be restored with a filling when it has decay or damage that hasn’t reached the pulp or nerve.
If you experience food getting lodged between teeth, sensitivity to temperature, mild pain, or see dark spots on your teeth, it’s advisable to seek dental evaluation.
With proper oral care and following post-operative instructions, composite filling material can last 5 to 10 years.
While fillings are considered permanent, chipping due to constant chewing forces can occur. Contact us for necessary repairs.
Dental fillings are typically not painful, as your dentist will use local anesthesia to numb the affected area during the procedure. You might feel slight pressure or hear some noises, but there should be no pain. After the filling is placed, it’s common to experience minor sensitivity for a few days. This can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers and should gradually subside. If you experience persistent or severe discomfort, it’s important to contact your dentist for an evaluation.
