Tooth Fillings in Central HK
Restore Your Teeth, Protect Your Smile
At Smith & Jain Dentists, we provide tooth filling (dental filling) treatments to repair teeth affected by cavities or wear. A filling helps restore the tooth’s natural function, prevents further decay, and maintains a healthy smile. This is one of the most common and effective dental procedures, usually completed in a single visit with minimal discomfort.
What are Tooth Fillings?
Dental filling is a way to repair a tooth damaged by decay or wear. It seals the tooth, prevents further damage, and restores its natural function. Think of it like patching up a small hole in a wall before it turns into a bigger problem!
When Do You Need Tooth Fillings?
You might need a filling if:
- You have a cavity (tooth decay caused by bacteria).
- Your tooth has a small chip.
- An old filling is loose, leaking, broken, or worn out.
- Your enamel is eroded from grinding, acid, or aging.
Ignoring these issues can lead to more pain, infection, or complex procedures like a root canal—so it’s best to treat it early!
The Simple, Comfortable Tooth Filling Process
Don’t worry—it’s a quick and straightforward process!
Step 1: Numbing the Area
We’ll apply a local anesthetic so you won’t feel any pain.
Step 2: Removing Decay
The decayed part of the tooth is gently cleaned out.
Step 3: Placing the Filling
The chosen material is applied and hardened.
Step 4: Polishing & Adjusting
We ensure your bite feels comfortable and your filling looks natural!
👉 Time: Usually 30–60 minutes. Discomfort: Most patients feel only slight pressure.
Aftercare Tips Following Tooth Fillings
After your procedure, it’s normal to have some numbness for 1–2 hours. Avoid chewing on your tongue/lip or having anything too hot until sensation returns. Some mild sensitivity to hot or cold is normal for a few days and should fade. Simply brush and floss as usual to help your filling last for years to come.
If you suspect a cavity or need an old filling replaced, schedule an appointment today—we’ll take care of the rest!
