Repair and restore your teeth for a gleaming smile
Dental Fillings Antalya
At Diamond Dental, we are committed to helping you achieve a radiant smile by repairing and restoring damaged teeth. A dental filling is used to treat cavities or repair a chipped or damaged tooth.
During your check-ups, our team will carefully inspect your teeth for signs of damage or cavities. If you notice increased sensitivity or have experienced trauma to a tooth, it may be time for a filling. To prepare for a filling, your dentist will remove any decay from the affected tooth, which may involve drilling.
We offer a variety of filling materials, each with its own benefits:
Composite Fillings
These tooth-colored fillings are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. After removing the decayed portion, your dentist will apply the composite material and match the shade to your natural tooth color for a flawless finish.
Glass Ionomer Fillings
Glass ionomer fillings bond chemically with the tooth and release fluoride, helping to prevent further decay. While not as durable as composite fillings, they are commonly used for baby teeth or on non-biting surfaces, like the ‘neck’ of the teeth. Let us help you restore your smile with the right filling solution for your needs.

How Dental Fillings Work
Fillings aren’t just for cavities, they’re also the go-to solution for repairing cracks, chips, and fractures in your teeth.
Here’s the lowdown: Before getting started, your dentist will numb the area with a local anesthetic to keep you comfy and pain-free.
Then, any decay is carefully removed, and the hole is filled with a durable, natural-looking material. The filling process itself is quick, just a few minutes, but prepping the tooth might take a bit longer depending on the work needed.
Once the procedure is done, your mouth will stay numb for a few hours, so you can relax while it all settles.
The benefits of composite dental fillings
- Stop Decay in Its Tracks: They help prevent further damage by sealing off the cavity.
- Restore Your Smile: Bring back your tooth's natural function and appearance, so you can smile confidently again.
- Strengthen & Protect: Reinforce a weakened tooth from damage or decay, keeping it strong and functional.
- Fix Fractures: Repair cracked or fractured teeth caused by accidents, restoring both form and function.
- Invisible Magic for Front Teeth: Composite fillings blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, keeping your smile flawless.
- Aesthetic Upgrade: Not just functional, composite fillings can enhance the overall look of your teeth.

Dental Fillings FAQs
What are dental fillings made of?
Dental fillings can be made from a variety of materials, including composite resin (tooth-colored), amalgam (silver), porcelain, or gold. The choice of material depends on the location of the cavity and personal preferences.
How long do dental fillings last?
The lifespan of a filling depends on the material used and the location of the filling. Composite fillings typically last 5-10 years, while amalgam fillings can last 10-15 years or longer with proper care.
Are dental fillings painful?
The procedure is generally painless, as local anesthesia is used to numb the area around the cavity. You may experience some discomfort or sensitivity afterward, but this usually subsides within a few days.
Can I eat or drink after getting a filling?
It’s best to avoid eating or drinking until the anesthesia wears off to prevent biting your cheek or tongue. If you have a composite filling, avoid chewing hard foods for 24 hours to allow it to fully set.
How do I take care of a dental filling?
Proper oral hygiene is essential to maintain the longevity of your filling. Brush twice a day, floss daily, and visit your dentist regularly for check-ups. Avoid hard or sticky foods that could damage the filling.
