Who is this surgery for?
- Treatment of small to medium-sized cavities (dental caries).
- Repair of chipped, cracked, or fractured teeth.
- Closing gaps between teeth (diastema closure).
- Replacing old, worn-out, or defective amalgam (silver) fillings.
- Improving the shape, color, or length of teeth for cosmetic enhancement.
- Restoring worn-down teeth due to attrition or erosion.
How to prepare
- Initial dental examination and X-rays to assess the extent of decay or damage.
- Discussion of treatment options, materials, and anesthesia with your dentist.
- Administration of local anesthesia to numb the tooth and surrounding area.
- Placement of a dental dam (a protective sheet) to isolate the tooth, keeping it clean and dry.
- No special dietary restrictions are typically required before the procedure.
Risks & possible complications
- Sensitivity: Temporary sensitivity to hot, cold, or pressure is common.
- Allergic Reaction: Rare allergy to composite materials or components.
- Pulpitis: Inflammation of the tooth's nerve, potentially requiring root canal treatment.
- Filling Failure: Risk of chipping, cracking, or debonding over time.
- Marginal Leakage: Recurrent decay if the seal between filling and tooth is compromised.
- Post-operative Discomfort: Mild gum or jaw soreness from keeping the mouth open.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Numbness from anesthesia wears off in 1-3 hours; avoid eating until it does to prevent biting injuries.
- You may experience mild sensitivity for a few days to a week; over-the-counter pain relievers can help.
- Maintain excellent oral hygiene with gentle brushing and flossing around the new filling.
- Avoid very hard, sticky, or extremely hot/cold foods for the first 24-48 hours.

Rohan, a 7-year-old from an affluent family, presented with severe dental trauma after a bicycle accident.
