Tooth decay treatment is the process of cleaning tooth tissue damaged by decay and closing the cavity with filling material. It is carried out under local anaesthesia and is usually completed in a single session. Thanks to aesthetic filling materials, the natural appearance of the tooth is preserved. This treatment both restores the function of the tooth and prevents tooth loss by stopping decay from progressing. With early intervention, decay treatment is an effective solution for healthier and longer-lasting teeth.

Treatment process
Examination and Detection
Decayed areas are identified by the dentist. If necessary, the depth of the decay is assessed with a radiograph.
Anaesthesia
Where needed, local anaesthesia is applied so that no pain is felt during the procedure.
Removal of the Decay
The decayed area is cleaned with special instruments while healthy tooth tissue is preserved.
Placing the Filling
The cleaned cavity is filled and shaped with a suitable filling material such as composite or amalgam.
Final Check and Polishing
The height and fit of the filling are checked and it is polished to a smooth finish.
Advantages of Dental Fillings
Relieves Pain
Sensitivity and pain caused by decay disappear quickly.
Protects the Tooth
The filling stops the decay from progressing and prevents the tooth from being extracted.
Natural Appearance
Aesthetic fillings match the colour of the tooth, so they are not noticeable.
Quick Procedure
It is a simple and effective procedure, usually completed in a single session.
Functional Tooth Structure
A filled tooth can continue normal chewing functions in a healthy way.
Long-lasting Protection
With the right care a filling can stay sound for years.
