Caries Treatment (Dental Filling)

Tooth decay (caries) is damage to the hard tissue of the tooth caused by bacteria, food debris and acids. At first it has no symptoms, only a white or dark spot. Later the tooth becomes sensitive to cold and sweet, then it starts to ache, and once the decay reaches the nerve the pain doesn't stop even at night. The earlier a tooth is filled, the smaller the treatment and the cost.

How a filling is done at M Clinic

The filling is done under local anaesthetic, so it's painless. The dentist removes the decayed tissue, cleans the cavity and fills it with a modern light-cured composite that matches the colour of the tooth and keeps its shape for years. Simple decay is treated in a single visit.

The clinic uses a CJ Optik dental microscope. It lets the dentist assess and remove decayed tissue precisely while keeping as much healthy tooth as possible, which matters most with deep decay and with decay hidden under old fillings.

When decay reaches the nerve

If the decay has reached the nerve and you have strong, throbbing pain, the tooth needs root canal treatment. At M Clinic this is also done under the microscope, which noticeably improves the chance of saving the tooth. Don't wait for the pain to get worse: the earlier you come in, the simpler the treatment.

Filling price

Caries treatment and a filling at M Clinic cost from 270 GEL. The price depends on how deep the decay is and how large the filling is, and it's confirmed at the consultation.

Questions patients ask

Does a filling hurt? No, it's done under anaesthetic. Slight sensitivity after the anaesthetic wears off passes within a few days.

How long does a filling last? A good composite filling lasts seven to ten years or more with proper hygiene.

How can I prevent decay? Brush twice a day, floss, cut down on sugar and have a professional cleaning twice a year. A check-up every six months finds problems at an early stage.
