Dental fillings are among the most common and effective treatments in modern dentistry. Whether it's due to cavities, cracked teeth, or minor wear and tear, fillings play a vital role in restoring oral health and function. At Core Dental Hub, we prioritize patient comfort, advanced materials, and long-lasting solutions when it comes to dental fillings. This comprehensive guide will walk you through everything you need to know about dental fillings — from types and procedure to cost and aftercare.
Dental fillings are materials used to restore teeth damaged by decay or minor fractures. When a cavity forms, your dentist removes the decayed portion of the tooth and fills the space with a biocompatible material to prevent further damage, reduce sensitivity, and restore function.
There are several types of dental fillings available, each with unique properties and benefits. At Core Dental Hub, we help you choose the best option based on your oral health needs, budget, and aesthetic preferences.

At Core Dental Hub, we ensure a smooth, comfortable, and efficient filling process. Here’s what to expect:
Your dentist conducts a thorough exam, possibly including X-rays, to detect cavities or damage.
To ensure a pain-free experience, we numb the area surrounding the affected tooth.
The decayed portion of the tooth is carefully removed using specialized tools.
The chosen filling material is applied in layers, shaped, and hardened (typically with a special curing light for composite fillings).
The filling is polished and adjusted to match your bite for a smooth and natural finish.
