Overview
A filling rebuilds a tooth where enamel was lost to a cavity, chip, crack or wear — suitable whenever damage hasn't reached the inner pulp. The decayed portion is removed and the space restored with a durable, natural-looking material. At SmileX Dental, fillings are shade-matched and polished so the repair disappears into your smile.

Common questions
Is getting a filling painful?
No — the area is numbed and work stays in the tooth's outer layers, so you feel only mild pressure.
How long does a filling last?
Roughly 10–20 years depending on cavity size, bite load and hygiene. Reviews catch wear early.
Which materials do you use?
Tooth-coloured composite for visible teeth, plus glass-ionomer and stronger options where bite forces demand it.
What affects the cost?
Depends on material, cavity size and tooth position. Single-visit treatment with a written estimate first.
