Tooth Fillings & Restorations in Aundh, Pune
Tooth-coloured fillings, inlays and crowns, shade-matched to your natural teeth — at Braces and Beyond, Aundh.
A filling repairs a tooth damaged by decay or a small fracture: the damaged part is removed and the space is rebuilt with a filling material. At Braces and Beyond, Aundh, restorations include tooth-coloured fillings shade-matched to your teeth, inlays for larger cavities, and crowns for teeth that have lost too much structure for a filling to hold.
Signs you may need a filling
- Sensitivity to sweet or cold food on one tooth
- Food repeatedly getting stuck in the same place
- A dark spot, hole or rough edge you can feel with your tongue
Early cavities are often painless. Many are found at a routine check-up before they hurt — which is when a small, simple filling is enough.
Filling, inlay or crown?
A filling suits small to moderate cavities. An inlay is a custom-made restoration for a larger cavity that is too big for a filling to be durable. A crown covers the whole tooth — for a tooth that is cracked, heavily broken down, or a back tooth after a root canal. The size of the damage decides, and we explain which one you need and why.
When a filling is not enough
If decay has reached the nerve, a filling on its own will fail — the tooth first needs a root canal. The opposite also holds: if a cavity is small, a crown is more treatment than you need. A filling that matches the size of the problem is the right answer.
What happens when you get a filling
- The tooth is numbed if needed
- The decayed or damaged part is removed
- The filling material is shade-matched, placed and shaped
- Your bite is checked and the filling is polished
Mild sensitivity for a few days is normal. If the tooth feels high when you bite, come back for a quick adjustment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you use tooth-coloured fillings?
Yes. Restorations are shade-matched to your natural teeth so they blend in.
Does getting a filling hurt?
The tooth is numbed when needed, so most fillings are comfortable. Some sensitivity for a few days afterwards is normal.
How long do fillings last?
Many last for years. Size, position in the mouth, grinding habits and oral hygiene all affect how long. A filling that chips, leaks or falls out should be checked.
Do I need a crown instead of a filling?
Only if the tooth has lost too much structure for a filling to hold, is cracked, or is a back tooth that has had a root canal. Small and moderate cavities are best treated with a filling.
