Had my wisdom tooth removed by Dr. Arvind. I was very nervous, but he explained every step and the whole thing was over in twenty minutes. The swelling was gone in two days. Very clean clinic and friendly staff.

About fillings
When decay is caught early, a filling is all a tooth needs. We remove the decayed part gently, then rebuild the tooth with tooth-coloured composite that bonds to the enamel and is matched to your shade.
Small cavities rarely hurt, which is why regular check-ups matter. Left alone, decay spreads towards the nerve — and a simple filling becomes a root canal.
This may be suitable if you have
- A cavity found at a check-up
- Food catching between two teeth
- A small chip or crack
- Old silver fillings you would like replaced

How treatment works
Find it
A close look and a digital X-ray show how deep the decay goes.
Clean it
The tooth is numbed and the decay removed, keeping as much healthy tooth as possible.
Rebuild it
Tooth-coloured composite is built up in layers, set with a curing light and polished to match.

Frequently asked questions
Do tooth-coloured fillings last?
Modern composite fillings commonly last seven to ten years or more with good care. Very large cavities may do better with an inlay or onlay.
Should I replace my old silver fillings?
Only if they are cracked, leaking or decayed underneath, or you want the look improved. Sound amalgam fillings don't need to be removed.
Can I eat after a filling?
Composite sets hard straight away, so you can eat once the numbness has worn off — usually within two to three hours.

What patients say about Origin Dental on Google
Got clear aligners here. They showed me a 3D preview before starting, and fourteen months later the result looks exactly like it. Reviews were always on time and nobody tried to upsell me anything.
Took my six-year-old daughter for her first dental visit. Dr. Meera Krishnan was so patient with her, let her sit in the chair and count her teeth first. She actually enjoyed it and wants to go back!
Full mouth rehabilitation with Dr. Meera Raghunathan. The full cost was given in writing before we started and there were no surprises. After years of trouble I can finally chew properly again. Thank you to the whole team.
Single-sitting root canal with Dr. Arjun. Honestly it felt like a filling. He showed me the X-ray before and after and explained why I needed a crown. Highly recommend.
Broke a front tooth on a Sunday morning. Called the helpline, they saw me within the hour and repaired it the same day. Could not tell which tooth it was afterwards.
Teeth whitening with Dr. Kavya before my wedding. Very natural result and no sensitivity at all. The staff are warm and the clinic is spotless.
Flew in from Dubai for two implants. They planned everything on WhatsApp from my X-rays, so I knew the cost and the dates before I landed. Excellent, careful work.
