Dental Fillings in Kampala
Fix cavities early with tooth-coloured composite fillings
Tooth Fillings at M Dental Care
A filling repairs a tooth damaged by decay (a cavity) and stops it from getting worse. Treated early, a small cavity needs only a simple filling; left alone it can grow into toothache, infection and eventually a root canal or extraction.
At M Dental Care in Najjera–Kira, Kampala, we use tooth-coloured composite fillings that blend in with your natural teeth. The decay is gently removed, the tooth is cleaned and the filling is shaped and polished so your bite feels normal straight away.
- Tooth-coloured composite fillings that are almost invisible
- Replacement of old, cracked or leaking fillings
- Usually done in a single 30–45 minute visit
- Gentle numbing for a pain-free procedure

Decay is removed, the tooth is cleaned and composite is placed and hardened with a light.
