Dental Fillings Melbourne North West

Dental fillings restore and protect teeth that have been damaged by tooth decay. They can also be a way to aesthetically bring teeth back to their natural look when a cavity takes over.

Our team at Dental Couture in Melbourne are experienced with both cosmetic and reconstructive dentistry and will ensure your fillings look natural with improved function.

Restore Your Teeth with Dental Fillings

Tooth decay can happen to anyone, as food debris and bacteria can get caught in hidden crevices between and around teeth. But you don’t have to lose a tooth over it. Dental fillings are an efficient way to restore the feel, function, and look of your teeth.

We use modern methods and materials to aesthetically restore teeth as well as functionally and your new filling will also prevent further damage.

When you come to Dental Couture at Melbourne North West, we will work with you to ensure you get the best material and filling to restore your teeth to health.

Type of Dental Fillings

Type of Dental Fillings

Your dentist will discuss the filling choices with you after a thorough exam.

No matter what type of material is chosen for your filling, taking care of your teeth with daily oral hygiene and regular dental visits will help them last a long time. Professional dental cleanings can lower your risk of future cavities. If you have issues with teeth grinding, the dentist may recommend a mouth guard to protect your teeth from wear and future damage. Our goal is to work with you to maintain oral health and keep your smile beautiful.

When Cavities are Too Large

If you are experiencing pain in a tooth, it is best to have a dental examination as quickly as possible. When treated early, the dentist can clean the cavity, treat the infection, and then fill the hole with a dental filling. If you are experiencing pain, allowing the dentist to repair your tooth will ease the pain. But if a cavity has grown too large, other treatments may be required.

When the infection has found its way deep into the root of the tooth, root canal therapy is the preferred treatment. During this treatment, the tooth root is cleaned of the infected pulp and filled with a sealant to protect it from further infection. After this, a dental filling may be placed on the tooth to protect the root canal treatment. If the hole is too big, a dental crown might be a better solution. Our dentists at Dental Couture in Melbourne North West will always try to save your teeth as the first treatment, and your dentist will discuss all options available for your situation.
