Dental Fillings & Tooth Repair

The advancements in modern dentistry have revolutionized the way we approach dental fillings. By utilizing composite resins and other contemporary materials, we are able to restore teeth to their original strength and appearance, while also prioritizing the comfort of our patients.
 

Fillings, also known as restorations, are used to replace decayed tooth structure. Whether detected through direct observation or x-rays, cavities are effectively addressed through the use of fillings. Additionally, fillings are utilized to repair teeth that are fractured, broken, or severely worn. 
 

During the cavity preparation process, our skilled dentists at 8 Queens Quay Dental Clinic meticulously remove any remaining decay and shape the final cavity. The next step involves the application of composite-resin filling material, which is then hardened using a curing light. Finally, the filling is polished to seamlessly blend with the natural shape of the tooth. For a natural look, composite fillings made out of glass ionomer cement are used so their color can be matched to the rest of your teeth.
