Dental Fillings in Kepong
Tooth-coloured fillings that repair cavities and restore your tooth, matched to your natural smile.
Stops decay in its tracks
Fillings remove decay and seal the tooth, stopping the problem from spreading further.
Matches your natural tooth
Tooth-coloured composite fillings blend in, so the repair isn't obvious when you smile.
Done in one visit
Most fillings are completed in a single appointment, with no need to come back.
Comfortable throughout
Local anaesthesia keeps the area numb, so the procedure itself is generally painless.
What is a Dental Filling?
A filling repairs a tooth affected by decay: the damaged portion is removed and the space is filled with a tooth-coloured composite material.
Beyond fixing cavities, a filling stops decay from spreading further and restores the tooth's natural shape and function.
We'll always explain what we find and why a filling is recommended before going ahead.
Your treatment, step by step.
Examination
We check the tooth and confirm the extent of the decay, often with an X-ray.
Numbing the area
Local anaesthesia is applied so you're comfortable throughout the procedure.
Removing decay
The decayed portion of the tooth is carefully removed.
Placing the filling
The tooth-coloured filling material is placed, shaped, and hardened to match your bite.
