Cosmetic Fillings in Pune
Cosmetic fillings are tooth-coloured composite fillings that repair cavities, chips and cracks while matching the shade of your natural teeth. At Vinaykia Dental Care in Pune, most cosmetic fillings are completed in a single visit under local anaesthesia, and old dark metal fillings can be replaced with tooth-coloured ones.
Every treatment plan is confirmed after your examination. Results vary from person to person.
About the treatment
What are cosmetic fillings?
Cosmetic, or composite, fillings are a modern alternative to silver (amalgam) fillings. They are made of tooth-coloured resin that is nearly invisible, mercury-free and bonded directly to the tooth, so they fill the cavity and restore the look of the tooth at the same time.
Because the material bonds to the tooth, a composite filling usually needs less healthy tooth removed than a traditional metal filling. It is built up in layers, hardened with a special light and polished, so it blends in with the teeth around it.

FAQs
Cosmetic Fillings: common questions
How long do cosmetic fillings last?
+
With good oral care and regular check-ups, cosmetic fillings last many years. How long depends on the size of the filling, where it is and habits such as grinding.
Is getting a cosmetic filling painful?
+
The tooth is numbed with local anaesthesia, so the procedure is comfortable for most patients.
Can cosmetic fillings repair chipped teeth?
+
Yes. Composite is well suited to repairing small chips, cracks and imperfections.
How much does a dental filling cost in Pune?
+
It depends on the size of the cavity, the material and how complex the treatment is. We explain the cost clearly before we begin.
Can my old silver fillings be replaced?
