Tooth Filling in Gurgaon: Treatment, Types, Cost, and Process

Tooth fillings are essential for treating cavities and restoring the function of decayed teeth. At Dental Krafts in Gurgaon, we offer a variety of filling options designed to meet your needs.  Here’s a simple guide to help you understand the treatment process, types of fillings, costs, and more.

What is a Tooth Filling?

A tooth filling involves removing decayed tooth material, cleaning the affected area, and filling the cavity with a suitable material. This helps restore the tooth's shape and function and prevents further decay.

1. Amalgam Fillings: Made from a mixture of metals, these are durable and cost-effective. Suitable for back teeth due to their strength.

2. Composite Fillings: Resin-based and match the color of your teeth, making them ideal for visible areas.

3. Ceramic Fillings: Made from porcelain, these are durable and resistant to staining, perfect for visible teeth.

4. Glass Ionomer Fillings: Made from acrylic and glass, these release fluoride to protect teeth and are commonly used for fillings below the gum line.

• Amalgam Fillings: INR 500 - INR 2,000 per tooth
• Composite Fillings: INR 1,500 - INR 4,000 per tooth
• Ceramic Fillings: INR 4,000 - INR 8,000 per tooth
• Glass Ionomer Fillings: INR 800 - INR 2,500 per tooth

1. Examination and Diagnosis: Your dentist examines your teeth and may take X-rays to determine the extent of decay.
2. Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is administered to numb the area around the affected tooth.
3. Decay Removal: The decayed part of the tooth is removed using a dental drill, laser, or air abrasion tool.
4. Cleaning: The cavity is cleaned to remove any debris or bacteria.
5. Filling the Cavity: The chosen filling material is applied in layers, with each layer being hardened.
6. Shaping and Polishing: The filling is shaped to fit the tooth and polished for a smooth finish.

1. Restores Function: Allows you to chew and speak normally.
2. Prevents Further Decay: Seals off spaces where bacteria can enter.
3. Improves Appearance: Especially with composite and ceramic fillings that match the tooth color.
