Fix Cavities Early and Save Your Natural Tooth

Been told you have a cavity?

Most people discover they need a tooth filling during a routine dental check-up. Others come in because of pain, sensitivity, or food getting stuck in one spot.

A tooth filling is one of the most common and effective dental treatments, and when done early, it prevents bigger problems like severe pain, infection, or tooth loss.

At OmaBod Dental Clinic in Accra, we provide safe, natural-looking tooth fillings that restore your tooth and stop decay from spreading.

What Is a Tooth Filling?

A tooth filling is used to repair a tooth damaged by decay or minor fractures. The dentist removes the decayed portion of the tooth and fills the space with a strong dental material.

This:

  • Stops further decay
  • Restores tooth strength
  • Relieves pain and sensitivity
  • Allows you to chew comfortably again

Signs You May Need a Tooth Filling

You may need a dental filling if you notice:

  • Tooth sensitivity to cold, heat, or sweet foods
  • A sharp pain when biting or chewing
  • Visible holes or dark spots on your teeth
  • Food constantly getting stuck in one area
  • Mild to moderate toothache

Not all cavities cause pain at first, which is why early detection matters.

Types of Tooth Fillings We Offer

Composite (Tooth-Colored) Fillings

This is the most common option we use.

Composite fillings:

  • Match the natural color of your teeth
  • Look discreet and natural
  • Bond strongly to the tooth
  • Are suitable for front and back teeth

They are a popular choice for patients who want both function and appearance.

What Happens During a Tooth Filling Procedure?

Your visit typically includes:

  • Examination of the affected tooth
  • Gentle removal of decayed areas
  • Cleaning and preparation of the tooth
  • Placement of the filling material
  • Shaping and polishing for comfort and bite balance

The procedure is straightforward and usually completed in one visit.

Is Getting a Tooth Filling Painful?

Most patients experience little to no pain. Local anesthesia is used when necessary to keep you comfortable throughout the procedure.

If the cavity is small and caught early, the process is often quick and easy.

Why Early Tooth Filling Is Important

Delaying treatment can lead to:

  • Larger cavities
  • Severe toothache
  • Infection or abscess
  • Need for root canal treatment
  • Tooth extraction

A simple filling today can save you from complex treatment later.

Tooth Fillings for Children and Adults

Children are especially prone to cavities due to sugary snacks and inconsistent brushing. Early fillings help protect developing teeth and prevent pain.

Adults also benefit from timely fillings to maintain strong, functional teeth.
