Tooth Filling

What is Tooth Filling?
Tooth filling is a common dental procedure used to restore teeth damaged by decay, cracks or wear. It involves removing the decayed portion of the tooth and filling the space with a durable material like composite resin, ceramic or amalgam. This helps restore the tooth’s shape, strength and function while preventing further decay or damage. At SCULPT Dental Hospital, we use advanced, tooth-colored fillings for natural aesthetics and long-lasting results.

When Do You Need Tooth Filling?
- When you have cavities or tooth decay
- If you notice sensitivity to hot, cold or sweet foods
- Visible dark spots or holes on teeth
- Chipped, cracked or worn-down teeth
- Pain while chewing or brushing in a specific area
Tooth Filling Procedure
Examination
The dentist checks for decay or damage using instruments and X-rays.
Decay Removal
The decayed portion of the tooth is removed using a drill or laser.
Cleaning
The area is thoroughly cleaned to avoid bacteria trapping.
Filling Application
The cleaned cavity is filled with suitable material (composite, amalgam or ceramic).
Shaping & Polishing
The filling is shaped to match your bite and polished for a smooth finish.

Dr. Janani is one of the excellent dentists I have seen. She is treating my son with invisilign braces and I too come here for all my dental related issues. She has enormous patience and answers all the queries of the patients with a beautiful smile always on her face. I really appreciate her treatment methods though I don't have any medical knowledge to comment on the same but I don't visit her for the same problem. It is solved in one go.
My husband is a patient of Dr. Sanjay who is also equally good. Dr. Sanjay too have a lot of resilience and treats the patients with a smile. I highly recommend this clinic for any dental related or smile correction issues. You will get a satisfied result here. Sculpt clinic is one of the best clinics in Chennai.

I had a missing tooth and wanted to get it replaced at the earliest. Went through sculpt dental hospital positive google reviews and visited to know options for replacing it. Doctor sanjay is very knowledgeable and experienced, he explained all the possibilities so well. I chose the dental implant option. And i love how it came out!
