Dental Fillings in Gudivada | Krishna Multispeciality Dental Clinic

Understanding fillings

What are dental fillings?

A dental filling is a treatment to repair a tooth that has been damaged by decay. The infected or decayed portion is removed, the tooth is cleaned and disinfected, and the cavity is filled with a protective material.

Fillings restore the tooth's structure and function while preventing the decay from spreading deeper. Modern fillings are comfortable, aesthetic, and can last many years with proper care. At Krishna Dental, we use high-quality materials and painless techniques.

Material options

Types of fillings

Composite (tooth-coloured)

Aesthetic, tooth-matched fillings that bond directly to the tooth. Ideal for visible areas. Durable and look natural.

Ceramic / Porcelain

Highly durable and stain-resistant. Matches tooth colour beautifully. Lasts longer than composite. Premium option.

Glass ionomer

Releases fluoride to strengthen the tooth and prevent decay. Great for root cavities and primary teeth. Aesthetic option.

Amalgam (silver)

Strong and highly durable. Best for back teeth under heavy chewing pressure. Contains safe amounts of mercury.

Step by step

The filling procedure

01

Examination & X-ray

We examine the cavity and take a digital X-ray to assess the size and depth of decay. This helps us choose the best filling material and approach.

02

Anaesthesia

The tooth and surrounding gum are numbed with local anaesthesia. You'll be comfortable throughout — most patients feel only pressure, not pain.

03

Decay removal

We carefully remove all decayed and infected tissue using precision instruments. The tooth is then cleaned, shaped, and prepared for the filling material.

04

Filling placement

The filling material is carefully placed into the cavity and shaped to match the natural tooth contour. For composite fillings, we use a special light to harden the material.

05

Bite adjustment

We check that your bite feels natural and comfortable. Any excess material is polished away, leaving a smooth, natural-looking filling.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

No, dental filling procedures at Krishna Multispeciality Dental Clinic are designed to be completely pain-free. We use advanced local anesthetics to numb the tooth and surrounding tissue, ensuring a comfortable experience at our Gudivada clinic.

Composite (tooth-colored) fillings typically last 5 to 10 years, while premium ceramic restorations can last 10 to 20 years. The longevity of fillings at our Gudivada clinic depends on proper oral hygiene, material choice, and biting forces.

Composite fillings are tooth-colored, metal-free, and bond chemically to support the tooth structure, making them highly aesthetic. Amalgam fillings are silver-colored, durable, but contain trace metal and are visible. At Krishna Dental Clinic in Gudivada, we specialize in premium, natural-looking composite fillings.

The cost of dental fillings in Gudivada depends on the size of the cavity, the type of tooth involved, and the selected material (composite, GIC, or ceramic). We offer competitive, transparent pricing at Krishna Dental. You can contact us through our website to obtain a personalized estimate.

After receiving a filling at our Gudivada clinic, avoid consuming extremely hot or cold beverages and hard/sticky foods until the anesthesia wears off. Continue brushing and flossing daily to protect the restoration margins.

Fillings require replacement if they crack, loosen, fall out, or if secondary decay develops beneath them. Dr. Vidya Sahithi recommends biannual check-ups at Krishna Multispeciality Dental Clinic in Gudivada to monitor the integrity of your fillings.
