Dental Fillings
At IDC Danang, dental fillings are a reliable solution to restore teeth affected by decay, chips, wear or discoloration. They help preserve the natural shape, function and colour of the tooth, prevent further decay and protect the dental pulp.
When Should You Get a Filling?
- Consider scheduling a dental visit if you experience:
- Tooth decay, black spots or visible cavities
- Gaps or spacing between teeth that affect aesthetics
- Chips or fractures from trauma
- Tooth wear from improper brushing or grinding
- Sensitivity to hot, cold or sweet foods
- Old fillings that are cracked, loose or discoloured
