Details.
Tooth-coloured fillings restore teeth affected by cavities or minor damage, helping restore shape, function and integrity while blending with natural teeth. The procedure includes consultation and assessment, possible X-rays, local anaesthetic, removal of decay, application of the filling, shaping and polishing. Composite resin fillings suit small to moderate cavities, while ceramic or porcelain fillings are suitable for larger cavities or areas subject to heavy chewing pressure. Aftercare includes avoiding hard, chewy or sticky foods for the first 24 hours, brushing twice daily, flossing daily, managing sensitivity and attending regular check-ups.
