The way she approaches treatment shows how experienced and confident she is. My treatment went smoothly and I felt comfortable throughout.

Fillings, inlays and onlays in New Chandigarh
Conservative dentistry means repairing a tooth while keeping as much of it as possible. Small cavities are repaired with a bonded filling placed in one visit. Larger ones are often better served by an inlay or onlay, made to fit precisely and bonded in place. Both keep more natural tooth than a full crown.

When you may need one
- A cavity found at a check up or on an X-ray.
- An old filling that has chipped, leaked or worn down.
- A cracked or broken cusp on a back tooth.
- Sensitivity to sweets or cold in one spot.
- A root filled tooth that needs protection but has enough structure to avoid a full crown.
How it is done
Examination
The size and depth of the damage decide between a direct filling and an inlay or onlay.
Removing decay
Only the decayed or weak tooth is removed. Healthy tooth is left alone.
Direct filling
For a filling, tooth coloured composite is bonded in layers and shaped to your bite in the same visit.
Inlay or onlay
For an indirect restoration, an impression or scan is taken and the piece is made to fit. It is bonded at a second visit.
Aftercare
- You can eat once the numbness wears off.
- Short lived sensitivity to cold is common and settles in days.
- Tell the clinic if your bite feels high. It is a quick adjustment.
Common questions
What is the difference between an inlay, an onlay and a crown?
An inlay sits within the chewing surface. An onlay also covers one or more cusps. A crown covers the whole tooth. Inlays and onlays remove less healthy tooth.
How long do tooth coloured fillings last?
It varies with the size of the filling, your bite and your oral hygiene. Regular check ups let small problems be repaired early.
This page is general information. Whether a treatment suits your tooth can only be decided after an examination.

Best doctor in chandigarh, i got my RCT done for 4 teeth and it was such a pain free experience. I would highly recommend her always there to help no matter the time. Even after weeks without any issue, the support and care remains the same, thank you Dr. Srishti
I got scaling done from Dr. Srishti and she did the entire process with so much patience and care that I was really amazed to see her attention to detail. I even got my young daughter to her for tooth extraction later seeing her professionalism and her tender care given to such a young child. Dr. Srishti made my daughter feel so comfortable and relaxed during the entire process that she didn't panic at all. It is so nice to see such young professionals being so attentive to details especially with children. Thanks Dr. Srishti !!
