Tooth decay (dental caries) is the most common dental disease in Kenya and worldwide. It begins when bacteria in plaque metabolise sugars and produce acids that dissolve tooth enamel, creating a cavity. Left untreated, the cavity grows deeper — reaching the dentine (causing sensitivity and pain) and eventually the pulp (requiring a root canal or extraction). A filling stops this progression at any stage before the pulp is reached, at a fraction of the cost of later-stage treatment.
At One Touch Dental in Thika, we exclusively use composite resin fillings — the modern, tooth-coloured alternative to old silver amalgam. Composite resin is a blend of fine glass and plastic particles that is shaded precisely to match your natural tooth. Once placed and hardened, it is completely invisible. Unlike amalgam, composite bonds chemically to the tooth structure, meaning less healthy tooth tissue needs to be drilled away. It also restores the tooth's strength more effectively.
A composite filling at One Touch Dental Thika costs KES 2,000 per tooth and is completed in a single visit of 30–60 minutes. The process involves removing the decay, cleaning the cavity, applying a bonding agent, placing the composite resin in thin layers (each cured with a UV light), then shaping and polishing the filling to blend seamlessly with your tooth.
Composite fillings can also be used beyond cavities. We use them to repair chipped or fractured teeth, close small gaps between front teeth, improve the shape of a misshapen tooth, and replace old cracked amalgam fillings. This versatility makes composite resin one of the most useful materials in modern dentistry.
Many Thika patients visit us after years of avoiding the dentist — arriving with several cavities that need attention. We work efficiently and without judgment, filling multiple teeth in a single extended appointment if needed. The earlier a cavity is treated, the smaller the filling required, the lower the cost, and the better the long-term outcome. If you suspect a cavity or have a sensitive tooth, visit One Touch Dental in Thika today.
