Stop a cavity from becoming a root canal. Get a tooth-coloured composite filling that's virtually invisible at our DHA Phase 5 clinic. Same-week appointments available.
A tooth filling (dental filling) is a restorative procedure used to repair teeth damaged by dental caries (cavities). During the procedure, Dr. Shahid Islam removes the decayed portion of the tooth, cleans the area, and fills the cavity with a restorative material — restoring the tooth's natural shape, function, and preventing further decay.
At our DHA Phase 5 dental clinic in Karachi, we exclusively use tooth-coloured composite resin and glass ionomer cement (GIC) fillings — never old-fashioned silver amalgam. Patients from Clifton, DHA Phases 4-8, Gulshan, and Bahria Town visit us for precise, aesthetic, and long-lasting dental restorations.
| Filling Type | Price Per Surface (PKR) | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Glass Ionomer (GIC) | PKR 3,500 – 5,000 | Children, root cavities, high cavity risk |
| Composite Resin (Small) | PKR 4,000 – 7,000 | Front & back teeth, single-surface |
| Composite Resin (Large/Multi-surface) | PKR 7,000 – 12,000 | Large cavities, 2-3 surfaces |
| Inlay / Onlay (Indirect) | PKR 18,000 – 30,000 | Very large cavities, molar protection |
Sharp, brief pain when consuming hot or cold food/drinks often signals a cavity exposing the dentin layer.
Sensitivity specifically triggered by sugary foods is a strong indicator of early to moderate tooth decay.
A visible hole, pit, or dark brown/black spot on a tooth surface is a definitive sign of cavity. Early treatment prevents the need for a root canal.
Food consistently trapping in the same area can indicate a cavity or a broken filling that needs replacement.
Treating a cavity with a filling costs a fraction of the alternatives if left too long:
| Delay Treatment By... | Result | Approximate Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Early cavity (now) | Simple filling | PKR 4,000–12,000 |
| 3–6 months | Larger filling needed | PKR 10,000–25,000 |
| 6–12+ months | Root canal + crown | PKR 50,000–80,000 |
If decay has reached the nerve, a filling is no longer sufficient. Root canal treatment will be needed to save the tooth, followed by a protective crown. Book a check-up now to avoid this more expensive outcome.
Tooth-coloured composite filling at our DHA Phase 5 clinic starts from PKR 4,000 per surface. GIC fillings start from PKR 3,500. Large multi-surface fillings range from PKR 7,000–12,000. We give you a precise quote after examination.
A single filling typically takes 30 to 60 minutes. The procedure is completed in one appointment. You can eat normally after the local anesthetic wears off (typically 2 hours).
No. We apply a topical anesthetic gel first, then administer a small injection. You feel no pain during the drilling or filling. Any mild sensitivity afterwards is temporary and manageable with over-the-counter pain relief.
Yes, fillings can fall out due to biting forces or new decay underneath. If your filling falls out, contact us immediately on WhatsApp. In the meantime, avoid chewing on that side and place sugar-free gum or dental wax over the exposed tooth to protect it.
The longer you wait, the more expensive the solution. Book your filling appointment today.
