Fillings at Dianella Dental Surgery

At Dianella Dental Surgery, we offer comprehensive filling services to restore teeth affected by decay or damage. Our skilled dentists utilize advanced techniques and materials to provide durable, aesthetically pleasing fillings that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.

When Are Fillings Needed?

Fillings are commonly used to repair teeth that have been damaged by cavities (dental caries) or minor fractures. If left untreated, cavities can progress and cause further damage to the tooth structure, leading to pain, infection, and potential tooth loss. Fillings are used to restore the affected teeth, prevent decay from spreading, and restore their strength and function.

Benefits of Fillings

Restores Tooth Structure

Fillings effectively repair and restore the strength and integrity of teeth affected by decay or damage.

Aesthetic Appeal

Tooth-coloured fillings provide a natural-looking restoration that seamlessly blends with your natural teeth, enhancing the appearance of your smile.

Prevents Further Damage

By filling cavities and repairing minor fractures, fillings help prevent further decay and damage to the affected teeth.

The Filling Procedure:

  1. Examination and Diagnosis: Our dentist will examine your teeth and may take X-rays to assess the extent of the decay and determine the most suitable treatment plan.
  2. Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is administered to numb the area around the affected tooth, ensuring you remain comfortable throughout the procedure.
  3. Removal of Decay: The decayed or damaged portion of the tooth is carefully removed using specialized dental instruments, leaving behind a healthy tooth structure.
  4. Filling Placement: The prepared cavity is filled with a tooth-coloured composite resin material that is carefully sculpted and shaped to restore the natural contours of the tooth.
  5. Bonding and Curing: The filling material is bonded to the tooth surface using a special curing light, ensuring a strong and durable restoration.
  6. Polishing: The filling is polished to smooth out any rough edges and achieve a natural-looking finish that blends seamlessly with the surrounding tooth enamel.
