What is a Dental Filling?

A dental filling is a restorative treatment used to repair a tooth that has been damaged by decay, minor fractures, or wear. The procedure involves removing the decayed portion of the tooth and filling the cavity with a durable material to restore its shape, strength, and function.

During a typical dental filling procedure, the area around the affected tooth is numbed, the decayed tissue is carefully removed, and the cavity is cleaned. The space is then filled with a suitable material — such as composite resin, amalgam, ceramic, or glass ionomer — and shaped to match the natural contour of the tooth for a smooth and seamless result.

Unlike untreated cavities that worsen over time, dental fillings halt further decay, relieve sensitivity, and help preserve the natural tooth — making them a highly effective and minimally invasive solution for long-term oral health.

Dental Fillings Procedure

The dental filling procedure is usually completed in a single appointment lasting 30 to 60 minutes per tooth. It begins with a consultation and examination, where your dentist identifies the decayed or damaged areas and selects the most suitable filling material.

During the procedure, the affected tooth is numbed with local anaesthesia to ensure comfort. The decayed portion is then carefully removed, and the cavity is thoroughly cleaned. The selected filling material — such as composite resin or ceramic — is placed in layers, shaped, and cured using a special light for a secure and natural fit.

The result is a fully restored tooth that blends seamlessly with your natural smile — protecting your oral health and ensuring normal biting and chewing function with minimal downtime.

Dental fillings are ideal for individuals with early to moderate tooth decay, minor fractures, or worn-down surfaces who want to restore the tooth’s function and appearance without needing more invasive treatment. You may be a good candidate if you:

  • Have one or more cavities

  • Experience tooth sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods

  • Have minor chips or worn enamel

  • Wish to preserve your natural tooth structure

  • Are seeking a quick and minimally invasive treatment

This treatment is best suited for patients with good oral hygiene and no extensive structural damage to the tooth. Dental fillings are especially beneficial for those looking for a fast, affordable, and effective solution to maintain their smile.

At Smile Center Turkey, our skilled dentists assess each case individually to select the most appropriate type of filling — such as composite resin, amalgam, or ceramic — to ensure strength, comfort, and a seamless match with your natural teeth.

Benefits of Dental Bridges Treatment

Restore your smile with tooth-coloured fillings that blend naturally with your enamel — enhancing both confidence and aesthetics without compromising your appearance.

Dental fillings help rebuild the structure of decayed or worn teeth, restoring their full function for biting and chewing.

By sealing off the damaged area, fillings stop bacteria from spreading deeper into the tooth, helping to preserve long-term oral health.

The procedure is simple and completed in one visit with minimal discomfort, making it ideal for those looking for fast, effective treatment.

Dental fillings are one of the most affordable restorative options, offering excellent value for maintaining natural teeth.

Things to Consider

Mild sensitivity to temperature or pressure may occur shortly after the procedure, but it typically disappears within a few days.

It may take a short time to get used to the new surface, especially while eating. This usually resolves without issue.

Regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups are essential to maintain your filling and prevent new decay.

The durability and lifespan of fillings depend on factors like oral hygiene, diet, and the material used.

Healing Process

After receiving a dental filling, most patients can return to daily activities immediately or within a few hours. Mild tooth sensitivity or slight discomfort around the treated tooth is common and typically resolves within 1 to 3 days.

You may experience temporary sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods as your tooth adjusts to the filling. This is normal and usually subsides quickly.

To aid your recovery, avoid extremely hot or cold foods and drinks for the first 24 hours. Maintain regular but gentle oral hygiene practices to keep the area clean and comfortable.

With proper care, your tooth will quickly feel natural and fully functional, allowing you to chew, speak, and smile with ease and confidence.

Common Post-procedure Reactions – Dental Fillings

Dental fillings are a minimally invasive restorative treatment, and most patients experience mild, temporary symptoms following the procedure. It’s common to notice slight tooth sensitivity or mild discomfort around the filled tooth during the first few days.

Typically, there is no severe pain or swelling, although some patients may feel temporary sensitivity when consuming very hot or cold foods. These sensations are normal and usually subside within a short period.

To ensure a smooth recovery:

  • Avoid very hot, cold, or sugary foods for the first 24 hours

  • Practice gentle brushing around the treated area

  • Maintain regular oral hygiene routines and floss carefully

With proper care, the tooth filling will settle comfortably, fully restoring the function and natural feel of your tooth.
