Fillings (pasta)
The decayed part of a tooth is removed and the space is filled with a tooth-coloured material, usually in one visit, at our Balanga, Orion and Arayat clinics.
Step by step
Decay out, tooth rebuilt.
Illustrations only. Every case is different, and results differ from person to person.
The dentist checks the tooth
You hear what the tooth needs and the cost before anything starts.
Numbing, when needed
Deeper cavities are numbed with local anaesthetic. Small ones may not need it.

Good to know
Small now is simpler than later.
A small cavity needs a filling. A deep one may need more, so it is worth having it looked at early.
Usually one visit
A filling is usually done in a single visit.
Tooth-coloured
The filling material is tooth-coloured.
Numbing when needed
Deeper cavities are numbed. Small ones may not need it.
Deep decay is different
If decay has reached the nerve, a filling is not enough and the dentist explains root canal treatment.
About cost
Magkano ang pasta?
It depends on the size of the cavity and the tooth, so there is no one figure for everyone. You hear the plan and the cost at your consultation, before anything starts.
- Cash and e-wallets accepted
- Payment is discussed at your consultation
- Time to think it over before you decide
