Fillings for decayed teeth, including deep cavities
किरा लागेको दाँतमा सिमेन्ट भर्ने
Removing decay and rebuilding the tooth with a filling material, often tooth-coloured, to restore its shape and strength.
What to expect
The tooth is numbed if needed, the decay is removed and the filling is placed and shaped to your bite. Deep cavities may need a protective lining first.
Aftercare
Wait until the numbness wears off before eating. Some sensitivity for a few days is normal; tell us if pain continues or the bite feels high.
Closing gaps between teeth
दाँतको बीचको ग्याप मिलाउने
Treatments that close or reduce spaces between teeth, such as tooth-coloured bonding, crowns or orthodontic treatment, depending on the cause.
When it is needed
Gaps that bother you, trap food or affect your smile or speech.
What to expect
Your dentist first finds out why the gap is there, then explains the suitable options, the number of visits and the cost before starting.
Aftercare
Depends on the method chosen; your dentist will give you clear instructions for it.
Repair of broken teeth
भाँचिएको दाँत बनाउने
Restoring a chipped, cracked or broken tooth with a filling, bonding or a crown, depending on how much of the tooth is affected.
When it is needed
After a fall, an accident or biting something hard, or when part of a tooth breaks away.
What to expect
The tooth is examined and the damage assessed. Small chips can often be repaired in one visit; larger breaks may need more.
Aftercare
Avoid biting hard objects with the repaired tooth. See us promptly if a broken tooth is painful or sharp.
General information only. Your dentist will explain what is right for you after an examination.
