Tooth Filling
A tooth-coloured restoration used to repair selected areas affected by decay or damage.
About this treatment
A filling restores a tooth after decay or damaged material has been removed. Tooth-coloured composite can be shaped and polished to support function while blending with the surrounding tooth. The appropriate restoration depends on how much tooth structure remains and the forces placed on it.
What it may help with
- Small to moderate areas of tooth decay
- Minor chips, wear, or localised damage
- Replacement of selected defective fillings after assessment
What to expect
- Examination and imaging when needed
- Comfortable removal of decay or weakened material
- Placement, shaping, bite adjustment, and polishing of the restoration
