At Smile For All Dental Clinic in Kolkata, we offer tooth-colored dental fillings that effectively repair cavities, cracks, and minor tooth damage—restoring both function and appearance in a single visit.
Cavities are one of the most common dental problems. Left untreated, they can lead to sensitivity, pain, infection, or even tooth loss. With modern dental fillings, we can halt decay in its tracks and rebuild your tooth’s integrity while preserving your natural smile.
We use gentle techniques and aesthetic materials to ensure your treatment is comfortable, safe, and seamless.
What Is a Dental Filling?
A dental filling is a restorative treatment used to repair decayed or damaged teeth. It involves removing the decayed portion and filling the space with a material that restores the tooth’s shape, strength, and function.
Dental fillings are commonly used for:
- Treating cavities
- Fixing chipped teeth
- Repairing worn enamel
- Restoring minor fractures
Our Dental Filling Procedure
The entire process is simple, quick, and usually completed in a single appointment:
Numbing the Area
Local anesthesia is applied to keep you completely comfortable and pain-free.
Decay Removal
The damaged part of the tooth is gently removed using precise instruments.
Cleaning & Preparation
The cavity is cleaned thoroughly to remove bacteria and prepare for the filling.
Filling Application
The selected material (usually composite resin) is placed, shaped, and hardened with a curing light.
Finishing Touches
The filling is polished and adjusted for a natural bite and smooth feel.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Dental Fillings
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you won’t feel any pain—just slight pressure. Post-treatment discomfort is minimal and temporary.
Composite fillings can last 5–7 years, while amalgam or gold fillings can last 10–15 years or longer with good oral hygiene and regular checkups.
Composite fillings are tooth-colored and ideal for front teeth. Amalgam fillings are silver-colored, more durable, and typically used for back teeth where chewing forces are higher.
If a composite resin was used, you can eat once the numbness wears off. For amalgam fillings, it’s best to wait 24 hours before chewing on the filled tooth.
Maintain daily brushing and flossing, limit sugary snacks and drinks, and visit your dentist every six months for preventive checkups and cleanings.
