When You Need Dental Fillings
Your tooth filling becomes necessary when decay causing bacteria damage your tooth structure. If left untreated, further decay can spread to other teeth and compromise your oral health. You may experience:
Tooth pain or sensitivity when eating or drinking
Visible cavities, holes, or dark spots on decayed teeth
Fractured or cracked teeth from injury or wear that need to be repaired areas
Food consistently gets stuck in damaged teeth
Sharp or rough tooth edges that catch your tongue ✓ Bad breath or unpleasant taste from decayed material
Prevention is better than a cure. Early treatment prevents bigger problems, saves your natural tooth structure, and costs less than delaying care. The longer tooth decay is left untreated, the more extensive your treatment becomes.
Our Filling Options
Composite Resin Fillings:
Our most popular choice! These tooth-coloured composite restorations utilise advanced composite materials that bond directly to your surrounding tooth structure. Perfect for front teeth and visible areas.
Amalgam Fillings:
Silver fillings remain an excellent option for posterior teeth where strength is most important. These dental amalgam restorations can withstand heavy chewing forces and typically last 10-15 years with proper care.
Porcelain Fillings:
For larger restorations, our dental laboratory creates custom porcelain indirect fillings that offer superior strength, stain resistance, and natural beauty. These indirect restorations are ideal when significant tooth structure needs to be replaced and serve as an excellent final restoration.
Gold Fillings:
Though less common today, gold fillings remain one of the most durable types of filling available, often lasting 20+ years with proper care.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
The lifespan of your dental filling depends on the type of filling material used. Composite restorations typically last 5-10 years, while amalgam restorations can last 10-15 years with good oral hygiene. Gold fillings are the most durable, often lasting 20+ years.
Not at all! We use local anaesthetics to ensure you’re completely comfortable throughout the procedure. Most patients experience no pain during treatment and only mild sensitivity for a day or two afterwards.
You can resume normal eating once the local anaesthetic wears off, typically within 2-3 hours. However, we recommend avoiding hard foods for the first 24 hours to allow your filled tooth to settle fully.
