Composite fillings that match your natural teeth, with dentists in El Poblado, Medellín.
Have a cavity, a filling that fell out or a small chip in a tooth? A composite filling repairs it in a single visit. The resin matches the color of your tooth, so the repair is barely noticeable. At Poblado Dental, our dentists remove the decay, protect the tooth and restore its natural shape.
We have English-speaking dentists, or a translator available on request. In most cases, a translator is there to assist you during your visit.
• Small or medium cavities
• An old filling that fell out or is leaking
• A chipped or worn tooth edge
• Sensitivity near the gumline (cervical filling)

If the cavity is large, an inlay or crown may be the better option. If it reaches the nerve, you may need a root canal first.

2. Local anesthesia so you stay comfortable.
3. Decay removal and cleaning of the tooth.
4. Tooth-colored composite placed in layers and hardened with a curing light.

Does getting a filling hurt?
No. Local anesthesia is used when needed, and most fillings are done in a single visit.
How long does a composite filling last?
With good oral hygiene and regular checkups, it can last many years. Avoid biting very hard objects and see your dentist for routine exams.
Can I replace my silver fillings with composite?
Yes. We check each filling first and tell you whether composite or an inlay is the better choice. Learn more about amalgam replacement.
Can I eat after a filling?
Yes. The composite is hard as soon as it is finished. If you had anesthesia, wait until the numbness wears off so you don't bite your cheek.
