Dental Fillings in Sheikhupura — Painless, Natural-Looking Tooth Repair

Tooth-colored composite fillings typically last 5 to 10 years, while ceramic fillings can last 10 to 15 years or more with good oral care. Brushing, flossing, avoiding hard foods, and regular dental checkups at our Sheikhupura clinic all help your fillings last as long as possible.

No — getting a filling is virtually painless. We use effective local anesthesia to numb the area completely, so you'll feel only light pressure during the procedure. Any mild sensitivity afterward is temporary and usually fades within a few days.

Tooth-colored composite fillings are better for most patients: they look completely natural, bond directly to your tooth, require less removal of healthy enamel, and contain no metal. We recommend composite or ceramic fillings over dark silver amalgam for both appearance and comfort.

You need a filling when decay affects only the outer layers of the tooth (enamel and dentin). If decay reaches the tooth's inner pulp or nerve — causing severe, lingering pain or infection — a root canal treatment is needed instead. Our dentists use examination and X-rays to diagnose accurately and recommend the right treatment.

Yes, dental fillings are safe and common for children with cavities in baby teeth. We use gentle, child-friendly techniques and materials like glass ionomer that help protect young teeth. Early treatment prevents pain, protects developing teeth, and keeps your child's smile healthy.

Most single-tooth fillings take 30–45 minutes, including numbing. You walk out with a fully restored, ready-to-use tooth the same day — no return visits needed for standard fillings.

Yes. We specialize in tooth-colored composite fillings matched to your exact tooth shade, so the repair is virtually invisible. No one will be able to tell which tooth was treated.

It is rare with modern bonding materials, but a filling can loosen if you bite something extremely hard or if decay develops underneath. If a filling ever feels rough or loose, visit us promptly — we will repair or replace it.

Wait until the numbness wears off (usually 1–2 hours) so you do not accidentally bite your cheek or tongue. After that, you can eat normally — though we suggest avoiding very hard foods on the treated tooth for the first day.

A small cavity keeps growing deeper until it reaches the tooth nerve — turning a simple, affordable filling into a root canal or even extraction. Early treatment is quicker, cheaper, and painless.

Common signs include sensitivity to hot or cold, visible dark spots, mild pain when biting, or food getting stuck. Often cavities are found on X-ray before you feel anything — another reason for regular checkups.

For very small early decay, fluoride treatment may reverse it. Larger damage may need an inlay, onlay, or crown instead. Our dentist will always recommend the most conservative option that truly solves the problem.

Routine dental fillings are generally considered safe, ideally during the second trimester, with proper shielding for X-rays. Always inform us about your pregnancy so we can plan accordingly.

Yes. Many patients choose to replace dark amalgam fillings with tooth-colored composite for a better appearance. We remove the old filling safely and restore the tooth with a natural-looking material.

Just good daily habits: brush twice, floss, and come for regular checkups. Avoid chewing ice or very hard sweets on filled teeth, and we will check your fillings at every visit.

Yes — a small amount of local anesthesia numbs the tooth completely, so the procedure itself is painless. Most patients feel only brief pressure, not pain.

Usually within a day or two — and same-day slots are often available for tooth pain. WhatsApp us on 0328 4455443 and we will fit you in at the earliest convenient time.
