FAQs

Is tooth decay reversible?

Early enamel demineralization can sometimes be reversed with fluoride and hygiene. Once a cavity forms, it must be restored.

Do fillings hurt?

With modern anesthesia and gentle technique, fillings are usually quick and comfortable.

Can I get multiple cavities treated in one visit?

Yes — we often combine several fillings in a single appointment, especially for international visitors.

Will my restoration look natural?

We use high-quality tooth-colored materials so your restorations blend with your smile.
