A filling repairs a tooth that has been damaged by decay or a small break. The decayed part is removed and the space is filled with a strong material that restores the tooth’s shape and lets you chew comfortably again. Families choose our dental clinic in Krishna Nagar for gentle, pain-free fillings.
At our clinic most fillings are tooth-coloured composite, bonded directly to the tooth and shaded to match your natural teeth. Treating a cavity early with a filling can prevent the need for root canal treatment later.
Small cavities often cause no pain at all, which is why regular check-ups matter. Book a visit if you notice any of these.
A short, sharp twinge when you eat sweets or drink something sugary is a common early sign of a cavity. Decay has reached the dentine, and a filling stops it spreading further.
Sensitivity to hot tea or cold water in one tooth can mean the enamel is broken. A filling seals the exposed area and usually ends the discomfort quickly.
A brown or black spot, or a small hole you can feel with your tongue, is often a cavity. Left untreated, it grows larger and becomes more costly to repair.
Food that keeps catching between the same two teeth may point to decay or a broken filling. A new filling restores a smooth surface and makes cleaning easier.
A small chip or rough edge can be rebuilt with a tooth-coloured filling. It restores the tooth’s shape, protects it from further breakage and looks completely natural.
Old fillings can crack, leak or wear down over time, letting decay start underneath. Replacing them early protects the tooth and avoids bigger problems later.
Most fillings are completed in a single visit of 30 to 60 minutes. The tooth is numbed, so the procedure is comfortable.
Dr Mani checks the tooth and takes an X-ray if needed to see how deep the decay goes.
Local anaesthetic numbs the tooth so you stay comfortable.
The decayed part of the tooth is gently removed and the area is cleaned.
Tooth-coloured composite is applied in layers and hardened with a curing light.
The filling is shaped to your bite and polished to look natural.
Composite is matched to your tooth shade, so the filling is almost invisible.
Bonding needs less drilling than older metal fillings, so more healthy tooth is kept.
Sealing the cavity early prevents pain, infection and the need for larger treatment.
Most fillings are placed and finished in a single appointment.
Book a check-up with Dr Mani. Small cavities are quick and simple to fill.
You can usually eat and drink normally once the numbness wears off. A little sensitivity for a few days is normal.
The cost of a filling depends on the size of the cavity, the tooth and the material used. Dr Mani confirms the cost after examining the tooth, before starting.

The tooth is numbed first, so most people feel only pressure and vibration. Mild sensitivity for a few days afterwards is normal.
With good care, composite fillings usually last many years. Regular check-ups help spot wear early.
Yes, once the numbness wears off. Composite fillings are hardened straight away with a curing light.
Only if they are cracked, leaking or decayed underneath. Dr Mani will advise after checking them.
Decay keeps spreading and can reach the nerve, leading to pain, infection and root canal treatment.
Routine fillings are generally safe, especially in the second trimester. Tell Dr Mani if you are pregnant.
