Restore Your Teeth with Durable and Natural-Looking Dental Fillings
Cavities and minor tooth decay are common, but they shouldn’t compromise the beauty of your smile. At Dr. Gaurav Ketkar’s Dental Clinic, we specialize in high-quality dental fillings that go beyond just “plugging a hole.” We focus on restoring the structural integrity and natural appearance of your teeth.
Gone are the days of noticeable silver fillings. We use advanced, tooth-colored composite resins that bond directly to your tooth structure. Whether you need to treat a new cavity or replace an old, failing restoration, our precision-focused approach ensures a comfortable fit and a seamless blend with your natural enamel.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common signs include tooth sensitivity to hot or cold, visible dark spots, or a "hole" you can feel with your tongue. Sometimes, decay is only visible via X-ray.
With good oral hygiene, composite fillings typically last 7 to 10 years or longer. Regular check-ups help us monitor their condition.
While the ADA considers them safe, many patients prefer composite fillings because they are mercury-free and don't require removing as much healthy tooth structure.
Some minor sensitivity to temperature is normal for 24–48 hours, but this subsides quickly as the tooth heals.
A standard filling usually takes between 20 to 45 minutes per tooth, depending on the size and location of the decay.
