Dental Fillings

Dental fillings are a restorative procedure used to repair teeth damaged by decay, wear, or minor fractures. At City Clinic, we use advanced, tooth-colored composite materials that blend seamlessly with your natural enamel — restoring strength, function, and aesthetics with minimal invasiveness.

Over time, everyday factors such as bacteria, acidity, or grinding can compromise the integrity of your teeth. A dental filling restores the affected area, preventing further decay while maintaining a natural look and comfortable bite.

At City Clinic, every restoration is performed with precision and artistry. After removing the decayed tissue, our specialists apply high-quality, biocompatible resin that mimics the color, texture, and translucency of natural teeth. The result is a durable, invisible restoration that protects your smile while preserving as much natural structure as possible.
Our dentists use digital shade-matching technology and advanced curing systems to ensure optimal bonding, strength, and longevity — providing results that look and feel like your original tooth.

Procedure Steps

1

Preparation & Anesthesia – Local anesthesia is applied, and decayed or damaged tooth material is removed.

2

Cleaning & Resin Application – Tooth is cleaned and composite resin is layered and sculpted.

3

Curing & Finishing – Resin is hardened with a special light and polished for a natural, smooth finish.

Duration:

Approximately 30–60 minutes per tooth

Number of Sessions:

Usually one visit per affected tooth. Multiple fillings can often be completed in the same appointment.

Recovery / Downtime:

Immediate — normal activities and eating can resume as soon as anesthesia wears off.

Pain Level:

Minimal to none. Local anesthesia ensures a completely comfortable experience.

Pre-Treatment:

  • Avoid caffeine or heavy meals before your appointment if anesthesia will be used.
  • Brush and floss normally.

Post-Treatment:

  • Avoid chewing on hard or sticky foods for a few hours.
  • Maintain excellent oral hygiene to prevent future decay.
  • Mild sensitivity to temperature may occur for 24–48 hours and will fade naturally.

Results

Expected Outcome

Immediately after the procedure, your tooth will be restored in both shape and function, with a natural appearance indistinguishable from the rest of your smile. Long-term, fillings protect the tooth from further decay and maintain structural integrity for years with proper care.

Composite fillings can last 7–10 years or longer depending on diet, hygiene, and bite pressure. Regular check-ups at City Clinic help ensure longevity.

Root Canal

Root canal treatment is a dental procedure that removes infected or inflamed pulp (the inner soft tissue) from a tooth’s root canals, thoroughly cleans and disinfects the internal spaces, then seals and restores the tooth to preserve its function and prevent further infection.

Pulp Capping

Pulp capping is a conservative dental procedure aimed at protecting and preserving the vitality of the tooth’s pulp when it is exposed (or nearly exposed) due to decay or mechanical trauma. Instead of removing the pulp entirely, a medicated dressing is placed directly or indirectly over it, promoting healing and avoiding a root canal.
