Dental Fillings in Kondapur: Types, Procedure and Cost

Dental fillings restore teeth after decay is removed or repair small fractures and wear. At Mohan Dental Clinic, we place precise, durable fillings in Kondapur and Kukatpally so you can chew comfortably and smile with confidence.

Understanding dental fillings

A cavity starts when plaque bacteria weaken enamel and dentine. If decay is not removed, it can reach the nerve (needing root canal treatment) or destroy the crown. A filling rebuilds the lost tooth structure after the soft decay is cleaned out.

Who may need a filling?

You might need a filling if you notice:

Pain on biting or linger sensitivity
Visible holes, chalky spots, or dark areas
Sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet
Broken or worn old fillings
Grinding or acid wear thinning the enamel

We confirm with exam and often X-rays.

How fillings work

Numbing (when needed) — Local anaesthesia for comfort.
Decay removal — Infected tooth structure is taken away until sound dentine remains.
Preparation — The cavity is shaped to retain the material and support the bite.
Placement — Material is layered or packed, then set (light-cure for composite, etc.).
Bite check — We adjust high spots so the jaw closes evenly.

Types of filling materials

Composite resin (tooth-coloured)
Bonds to enamel and dentine; aesthetic for visible areas; preserves more tooth in many cases. Cured with a blue light. Common for most adult cavities in our practice.

Amalgam (silver-coloured)
Strong and economical for posterior teeth; not tooth-coloured. Some patients prefer to avoid amalgam—we discuss options.

Glass ionomer
Releases fluoride and bonds to tooth; useful for children, root surfaces, or temporary/long-term solutions in selected cases—less wear-resistant than composite in heavy bite areas.

Ceramic / porcelain (inlays/onlays)
Lab-made pieces for larger defects—stain-resistant and strong; usually two visits and higher fee than a chairside filling.

Gold (indirect)
Excellent durability and biocompatibility; multiple visits and premium cost—less common today but still an option for some posterior teeth.

Material choice depends on cavity size, location, aesthetics, cost, and bite forces.

Procedure at Mohan Dental

Examination — Clinical check and digital X-rays to see decay depth and proximity to the nerve.
Anaesthesia — When indicated for comfort.
Caries removal — Minimally invasive where possible.
Restoration — Layered composite or other material per plan.
Polish & occlusion — Smooth surfaces and comfortable bite.

Aftercare

Prefer soft foods initially; avoid very hard or sticky items while numbness wears off.
Brush and floss daily; decay can recur at margins if hygiene slips.
Mild sensitivity for days is common—report prolonged pain or bite that feels “high.”
Regular check-ups catch wear or new decay early.

FAQs

Are fillings painful?
The tooth is usually numbed; you may feel pressure. Sensitivity afterward is often short-lived.

How long do fillings last?
Composite often lasts many years with good care; ceramic and gold indirect restorations can last longer in heavy bite areas. Replacement timing varies.

Can I eat right away?
Wait until numbness resolves to avoid biting your cheek. With composite, many people eat normally the same day—follow the instructions we give you.

What if I delay a filling?
Decay spreads; you may eventually need RCT, a crown, or extraction.
