Tooth fillings in Dodoma
A cavity caught early needs only a filling. The decay is cleaned out under local anaesthetic and the tooth is rebuilt in a material matched to its shade.
Save the tooth while it is small work
Decay spreads inward. Treated at the stage of a small cavity, it takes a filling in a single visit; left until it reaches the nerve, the same tooth needs root canal treatment or removal.
How it works here
- Book a consultation online or on WhatsApp.
- The dentist examines your teeth and writes a plan with prices.
- Treatment starts the same day where suitable.

What is fillings?
After numbing the tooth, the dentist removes the decayed part and shapes what remains. The cavity is filled with composite, a tooth-coloured resin that bonds to the tooth and is set hard with a blue light, then shaped to your bite and polished.
Fillings also repair chipped edges and worn spots near the gum line, and replace old fillings that have cracked or leak.
Why treat it
Medical reasons
Decay does not heal on its own. A filling stops it before it reaches the nerve and causes pain or an abscess.
Confidence and comfort
A repair that matches the tooth, with no dark metal showing when you smile.
The process
From assessment to results
The tooth is examined, and an X-ray taken if the depth of the decay needs checking. You are told the options and the price.
Twenty to forty-five minutes per tooth:
- Local anaesthetic, so you feel pressure and no pain
- Decay removed and the tooth cleaned
- Filling placed in layers and set with light
- Bite checked and the surface polished
The numbness wears off in two to three hours; avoid chewing on that side until it does. Mild sensitivity to cold for a few days is normal.
A composite filling can be used straight away and, with good care, lasts many years. It is checked at each six-monthly visit.

Who treats you
Your dentist
Dental treatment is carried out by the clinic’s dental team at Kisasa Plaza. The dentist examines you before anything is done and explains each step as it happens.
Book a dental visitDoes a filling hurt?
Not with local anaesthetic. The injection is the only part most people notice, and it is brief.
How do I know I need one?
Sensitivity to sweet or cold, food catching in one place, or a dark spot can all be signs. Many cavities show no sign at all and are found at a check-up.
Can old metal fillings be replaced?
Yes, when they are cracked, leaking or decayed underneath. A sound metal filling is usually best left in place.
Can I eat after a filling?
Yes, once the numbness has worn off, so that you do not bite your cheek or tongue.
