An infographic from Dr. Ming Smile Dental Clinic explaining the tooth filling process. It includes details about the benefits of fillings like protection, restoration, comfort, and natural look. The infographic illustrates what a surface is, provides examples of types of fillings, and shows the five steps of the filling process: examine, clean, fill, cure, and polish. It also highlights when fillings are needed and mentions the importance of early treatment for better results. The price of a filling is listed as 1,000 THB (~22 GBP) per surface.

Tooth-Coloured Fillings

1,000 THB Approximately £22 per surface

A filling repairs a tooth affected by decay, wear or a small fracture. Tooth-coloured composite is carefully placed, shaped and polished to restore the tooth’s strength and natural appearance.

Tooth-coloured Natural appearance Preserves healthy tooth

When Might You Need a Filling?

  • A visible hole or dark area
  • Tooth sensitivity
  • Food repeatedly getting stuck
  • A chipped or worn tooth
  • Decay found during examination or X-ray

Why Treat It Early?

A small cavity may be repaired with a simple filling. When decay is left untreated, it can become deeper and may eventually require root canal treatment, a crown or extraction.

Small filling today. Stronger tooth tomorrow.
Good to know

The final price depends on how many tooth surfaces are affected. The number of surfaces can only be confirmed after clinical examination and, when required, an X-ray.

HOW FILLING PRICES ARE CALCULATED

What Does “Per Surface” Mean?

Each tooth has several surfaces. The price depends on how many surfaces are affected by decay or need to be rebuilt.

1 Surface

1,000 THB

Example: decay affecting only the top chewing surface.

2 Surfaces

2,000 THB

Example: decay affecting the top and one side of the tooth.

3 Surfaces

3,000 THB

Example: decay affecting the top and both side surfaces.

01

Chewing Surface

The top surface used for biting and chewing.

02

Front or Back Surface

The surface facing the lips, cheeks, tongue or palate.

03

Side Surfaces

The surfaces touching the neighbouring teeth.

The Filling Process

Examine → Remove Decay → Place Composite → Cure & Polish
Important

A cavity may involve several surfaces even when it appears small from the outside. The dentist will confirm the number of surfaces after examination and, when required, an X-ray.
