Dental Fillings in Gurgaon
A dental filling restores selected tooth defects caused by decay or minor damage. Tooth-coloured composite may suit small-to-mid-size cavities under moderate chewing pressure; the defect and bite need individual assessment. For dental fillings in Gurgaon, Marwaha Dental Clinic in DLF Phase 2, Gurugram can assess the tooth and discuss repair options.
Choosing the best dentist for dental fillings in Gurgaon
A filling decision depends on the defect, how much tooth remains and the forces on it; a tooth-coloured material is not automatically suitable for every site or cavity. Dr Divya Marwaha is the founder and an experienced dental surgeon at Marwaha Dental Clinic. The clinic has served patients since 2004 and is trusted by many happy patients and families who return for care, including over 10–15 years. Read Dr Divya Marwaha's profile.
What can a dental filling repair?
Fillings restore selected defects caused by tooth decay or minor damage. Composite fillings can be used on front or back teeth, and may suit small to mid-size cavities under moderate chewing pressure. For a larger cavity or a site under greater chewing pressure, the dentist needs to assess the tooth and bite before choosing a material. The existing composite fillings page covers the narrower material option.
What happens during a filling?
A dentist generally removes damaged or decayed tissue, places filling material, smooths or polishes rough edges and checks the bite. A direct restoration is shaped in the mouth; an indirect restoration is fabricated before fitting. Steps vary by material, and light curing applies to resin composite. The exact plan depends on the tooth and chosen restoration.
When might another option be discussed?
A chipped, broken or cracked tooth needs examination because its depth and restorability cannot be judged from appearance alone. Depending on the fracture, the pulp (the tooth's inner tissue) and whether the tooth can be saved, options may include reattaching a fragment, a temporary or permanent filling, a crown, root canal treatment or removal if the tooth cannot be saved. Those are alternatives for a particular case, not stages every patient goes through.
Tooth wear also varies. Assessment distinguishes expected wear from excessive or problematic wear and considers its cause, severity, progression and effects. Small symptom-free wear may be monitored, while worsening wear or symptoms can prompt reassessment; if restoration is indicated, a minimally invasive approach with preventive support is favored. For a worn tooth that needs restoration, a crown is one possible option; sometimes the tooth can instead be rebuilt with white filling material. Crown preparation removes tooth structure and may not be the least invasive route, so suitability and the patient's preferences need discussion.
Sensitivity, symptoms and next steps
Temporary sensitivity can follow a restoration. Severe or persistent pain needs assessment, because those symptoms need a dentist to review the tooth and restoration. Swelling, fever or severe continuing pain after a filling requires prompt dental assessment. If signs of infection are spreading, emergency escalation may be needed; see emergency dental care. These signs do not identify the cause on their own.
