Tooth decay

When cavities appear on the surface of teeth, especially if you feel pain or discomfort when eating sweets, you should consider getting your teeth filled.

Cracked or missing teeth

If a tooth breaks due to an impact or biting a hard object, it should be filled to prevent further damage, even if there is no pain.

Old filling material has fallen off or is damaged

If a previously filled tooth has become loose or worn, it should be refilled to maintain its function.

dental filling process

Dental filling process in Hong Kong in 2025

A dental filling at Qi Ren Dental Center typically involves the following steps:

1. Diagnosis and localization

During a filling procedure, the dentist first performs a thorough diagnosis, using advanced diagnostic tools to pinpoint the location and extent of the cavity. This helps determine the appropriate treatment plan.

2. Local anesthesia

Before performing the filling cleaning and removal procedure, the dentist administers local anesthesia to the patient to ensure a painless process during the filling procedure.

3. Tooth decay cleaning

With the help of advanced dental filling equipment, we accurately clean and remove the damaged parts, ensuring that the cavities are clean.

4. Material Selection

Before performing a filling, the dentist carefully selects suitable filling materials, including metal, ceramic, and resin, based on the patient's needs and the location of the teeth.

5. Cavity filling

Dentists use high-quality dental filling materials to fill the cavities left by cavities, ensuring that the filling integrates naturally with the surrounding teeth.

6. Shaping and Adjustment

To achieve the best appearance and bite result from a filling, dentists will carefully shape and adjust the filling material to ensure that the patient's bite function is normal and the appearance is natural.

Common problems with fillings

Will the filling process be very painful?

During the filling process, we use anesthesia to ensure that the patient experiences minimal pain and discomfort. Our dentists will explain the entire filling procedure in detail before treatment, ensuring the patient fully understands each step and answering any questions. This effectively reduces the patient's anxiety and increases their comfort and confidence during the treatment.

 What precautions should be taken after a dental filling?

After a filling, patients should avoid eating hard or sticky foods, maintain good oral hygiene, and attend regular follow-up checkups as advised by their dentist. This will help ensure the filling lasts and maintains stable oral health.

Will teeth cleaning damage my teeth?

Teeth cleaning uses ultrasonic vibrations, which will not damage the enamel. Widening of the gaps between teeth is a normal phenomenon after tartar is removed.

How long does it take to get a filling?

The time required for a filling depends on the location and complexity of the cavity. Generally, a single tooth filling may be completed within an hour, while more complex cases may require multiple treatments.

How long after a dental filling can I eat?

After a filling, patients should avoid eating immediately, as advised by their dentist. Typically, on the day of the filling, patients should choose softer foods to avoid irritating the teeth.
