Learn more

Small cavities and chipped teeth are easy to fix when treated early. At Seoul Lab Dental Clinic, we use tooth-colored materials and conservative techniques to restore strength, shape, and a seamless look—explained clearly by our English-friendly team.

Do I Need a Filling?

  • Sensitivity to sweets, cold, or heat
  • Dark spot, pit, or rough edge you can feel with your tongue
  • Food getting stuck between the same teeth
  • Chipped or worn edges, especially on front teeth

Filling Options We Offer

Tooth-Colored Composite (White Filling)

  • Best for small–medium cavities or chips
  • Shade-matched for an invisible repair
  • Conservative removal of decay with strong adhesive bonding

Ceramic Inlay/Onlay (Porcelain)

  • For larger cavities or when a cusp is weakened
  • Custom-made ceramic piece bonded for high strength and precise fit
  • Preserves more healthy tooth than a full crown
If decay is very extensive or the nerve is involved, we’ll discuss root canal therapy and a crown to protect the tooth.

Our Comfort-First Process

  1. Diagnosis & Photos – Exam and any needed X-rays; we show you what we see.
  2. Gentle Numbing & Isolation – Local anesthesia as needed; tooth kept dry for reliable bonding.
  3. Conservative Decay Removal – Only the damaged tissue is removed.
  4. Placement & Shaping – Composite layered and light-cured or scan for ceramic inlay/onlay.
  5. Bite Check & Polish – Smooth finish and comfortable bite before you leave.

Materials & Aesthetics

  • Shade-matched composites for front and back teeth
  • High-strength ceramics that mimic enamel’s translucency
  • Adhesive bonding for a tight seal and durability

Aftercare & Longevity

  • Numbness may last a few hours—avoid chewing until it wears off
  • Mild cold sensitivity is common for a few days and usually settles
  • Brush and floss daily; keep regular cleanings to protect restorations
  • Consider a nightguard if you clench/grind

Prevention Tips

  • Fluoride toothpaste 2× daily; clean between teeth every day
  • Limit frequent snacking and sugary drinks
  • Rinse with water after coffee/tea or acidic beverages
  • Check-ups every 6 months (or more often if high risk)

FAQs

Will the filling be noticeable?
No—composites and ceramics are color-matched to blend with your natural tooth.

How long does a filling take?
Most composite fillings are completed in 30–60 minutes. Ceramic inlays/onlays may need one or two visits depending on your schedule.

Why choose ceramic over composite?
Ceramic is stronger for larger defects and maintains shape and shine long term. We’ll show you the pros/cons and costs for your case.

What if I ignore a small cavity?
Decay spreads. Waiting can lead to pain, root canal therapy, or even extraction.
