Fillings & Restorations in Muzaffarnagar
Fillings are one of the most common dental treatments. When a tooth develops a cavity, a filling repairs the damage and stops the decay from going further. We use tooth-coloured composite resin that matches your natural tooth shade, so the repair blends in and is not obvious when you talk or smile.
Beyond simple cavity fillings, restorations also cover repairing chipped, cracked, or worn-down teeth. The goal is always to bring the tooth back to its normal shape and function while keeping things looking natural.
What to expect
The procedure starts with numbing the area around the affected tooth. We then remove the decayed portion of the tooth and clean the cavity thoroughly. The composite resin is applied in layers, shaped to match your tooth’s natural contours, and hardened with a special curing light. Finally, we check your bite and make any adjustments so everything feels right.
Most fillings take 30 to 45 minutes from start to finish. You can eat normally once the numbness wears off, usually within a couple of hours. We will let you know if any special care is needed for larger restorations.

Frequently asked questions
-
How long do dental fillings last?
Filling lifespan depends on the size, location, and how well the tooth is maintained. We will discuss realistic expectations for your specific restoration.
-
Are tooth-coloured fillings as strong as silver fillings?
Modern composite fillings are strong enough for most situations. For very large restorations on back teeth, we may discuss other options with you. We will recommend what makes the most sense for your specific case.
-
Does getting a filling hurt?
We numb the area with local anaesthesia before starting, so you should not feel pain during the procedure. You may feel some pressure, but that is about it.
-
Can old silver fillings be replaced with tooth-coloured ones?
Yes, old amalgam fillings can be replaced with composite ones. We will assess each filling individually and only recommend replacement if there is a good reason, such as decay around the old filling or if the filling is cracked.
