Dental Fillings

Damaged or decayed teeth is dangerous to leave untreated. Not only does it weaken your bite, it can cause acute pain and headaches. At Luq Dental Clinic, we offer high-quality dental fillings designed to restore your teeth, prevent further damage, and help you smile with confidence.

Dental fillings are a common and effective treatment used to repair cavities or minor tooth damage. By filling in the affected area, we restore the tooth’s function and protect it from further decay or wear. Our fillings are made from durable materials that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.

When Do You Need a Dental Filling?

Why Does It Hurt When You Eat an Ice Cream

Tooth Sensitivity

Sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods is often a sign of enamel erosion or minor cavities. If left untreated, the sensitivity can worsen as decay progresses deeper into the tooth structure.

Visible Cavities

Have you noticed dark spots, small holes, or pits on your teeth? Cavities can grow larger over time and may lead to more serious problems, such as infections or the need for root canal treatment.

Chipped or Worn Teeth

Your teeth may get damaged from accidents, biting down on hard foods, or even habits like grinding or clenching (bruxism). These chips or worn edges can weaken the tooth’s structure.

Amalgam Fillings

Amalgam fillings, also known as “silver fillings,” are composed of a metal alloy suitable for molars that endure heavy chewing forces. As a cost-effective and durable option, they remain a trusted choice for back teeth.

Ceramic Fillings

Crafted from high-quality porcelain, ceramic fillings offer aesthetics, mimicking the natural translucency of your teeth. They are stain-resistant and highly durable, making them a great choice for visible teeth where strength and appearance are equally important.

Gold Fillings

Gold fillings are a premium choice for their exceptional durability and resistance to wear. Custom-made to fit your tooth precisely, they can last for decades with proper care. While more expensive than other materials, gold fillings are ideal for those seeking a long-term, reliable solution.

The Dental Filling Process

Step-by-Step

At our clinic, we ensure the dental filling process is not only effective but as comfortable as possible.

Examination

Our dentist will examine your teeth. Using X-rays, we identify the extent of the damage, whether it’s a cavity, a chipped tooth, or another issue.

Preparation

Once confirmed, we’ll prepare the affected tooth. This involves removing decayed or damaged portions of the tooth while preserving as much healthy structure as possible.

Application

The filling material is applied. Depending on the type of material—composite, amalgam, ceramic, or gold— it is shaped and bonded securely to your tooth.

Shaping and Polishing

Finally, we refine its shape to match your bite. This involves sculpting the material and testing your bite to ensure the filled tooth aligns comfortably.
