Seamless Teeth Filling Treatments

What is a dental filling?

Tooth decay also known as dental caries is a common oral problem that affects many Kenyans and can cause pain, discomfort and even tooth loss. It mainly occurs due to poor oral hygiene but can also develop due to genetics, diet and other factors. When left untreated, tooth decay can lead to the formation of cavities (holes in the teeth enamel) impacting your ability to chew and speak.

A dental filling repairs a tooth that has been damaged by decay, wear, or a small fracture. We gently remove the damaged part of the tooth, then fill the space with a durable material that restores the tooth’s shape, strength, and appearance.

Arrow Dental Centre stands out as the premier dental clinic in Nairobi for tooth filling, offering comprehensive restorative dental care. We primarily use tooth-coloured composite materials that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth . The whole process is done under local anaesthetic, painless, and usually completed in a single 30–60 minute visit.

Tooth-Coloured Composite

Natural-looking fillings that bond directly to your tooth for a stronger, more comfortable restoration.

Benefits of tooth fillings

Why get a filling sooner rather than later

Protect your natural smile and save money on future complex treatments.

Stops decay progression

Halts the spread of decay before it reaches the nerve, protecting your tooth from severe pain and infection.

Preserves your natural tooth

By sealing the cavity early, you avoid the need for extraction or replacement and keep your original tooth intact.

Restores full function

Once the filling is placed, you can bite, chew, and enjoy your meals normally again without discomfort or sensitivity.

Looks natural

Tooth‑coloured composite blends well with your enamel, making the filling invisible and keeping your smile bright.

Painless procedure

With local anaesthetic, the treatment is quick and comfortable, ensuring you remain relaxed throughout the process.

Same‑day results

You walk in with a cavity and leave the very same day with a restored tooth that feels and functions like new.

Your options

Filling materials to suit every need

We choose the right material based on the tooth’s location, the size of the cavity, and your aesthetic goals.
  • Composite (Tooth‑Coloured): Our most popular choice, composites blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. They bond directly to the tooth structure, making them strong and versatile for both front and back teeth while keeping your smile looking natural.
  • Ceramic / Porcelain Inlay: A premium option ideal for larger cavities, these lab‑made restorations are extremely durable and resistant to wear. They match the surrounding tooth colour perfectly, offering a long‑lasting solution that combines strength with aesthetics.
  • Glass Ionomer: This material restores the tooth and releases fluoride, helping protect against further decay. It is often recommended for children’s baby teeth and for cavities on root surfaces where added protection is especially important.
  • Amalgam (Silver): Highly durable and remains a reliable choice for back teeth where chewing forces are greatest and appearance is less of a concern

Common questions

Dental Fillings FAQs

When do I need a dental filling?
Fillings are necessary when a cavity has formed in your tooth or when small chips need to be restored. If you feel sensitivity to sweets, cold, or hot foods, it’s a good idea to walk in for an assessment.
What materials do you use for fillings?
We primarily use tooth-coloured composite, which blends naturally with your teeth. The material we recommend depends on the size and location of the cavity.
Will the procedure hurt?
No. Fillings are placed under local anaesthetic, so you won’t feel pain during the procedure. Many patients are surprised by how comfortable it is.
How much does a filling cost in Kenya?
At Arrow Dental, Dental fillings start from Ksh 5,000, with the final price depending on the size and location of the cavity. We confirm the cost after a consultation and assessment.
How long does a filling appointment take?
A single filling typically takes about 30 to 60 minutes from start to finish. We work efficiently while making sure you’re comfortable during the procedure.
How long will my filling last?
Typically, a filling lasts from 3 to 7 years. However, you should visit the dentist regularly to ensure it’s holding up. You call your dentist as soon as possible if you see discoloration or chipping under the filling.
Can I eat after getting a filling?
Yes. You can eat once the local anaesthetic wears off, usually within an hour or two. We’ll guide you on what to avoid for the first day if needed.
How do I take care of my dental fillings?
Tooth filling should be maintained with proper oral hygiene to ensure they last long. If decay occurs, it might weaken the fillings and should be replaced. Regular flossing and brushing are essential to maintain a healthy mouth and intact fillings.
