Apabila gigi berlubang, bahagian yang rosak dibuang dan gigi dipulihkan dengan tampalan untuk menghentikan karies daripada merebak ke saraf.
Tampalan komposit dipadankan dengan warna gigi anda, menjadikannya pilihan popular untuk gigi hadapan yang kelihatan.
Tampalan amalgam (perak) sangat kuat dan tahan lama, sering digunakan untuk gigi belakang yang menanggung tekanan mengunyah.
Fissure sealant ialah lapisan plastik pelindung nipis yang digunakan pada alur dalam gigi geraham kanak-kanak untuk menghentikan karies sebelum ia bermula.
Pilihan tampalan bergantung kepada lokasi gigi, saiz kaviti dan keutamaan anda. Doktor gigi anda akan mengesyorkan pilihan terbaik untuk kes anda.
