Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need a dental filling?
Common signs include tooth sensitivity, pain when biting, visible holes or dark spots on a tooth, food getting stuck in one area or a chipped tooth. However, some cavities cause no symptoms at all. A dental examination and, where necessary, X-rays can help identify whether a filling is appropriate.
Do fillings hurt?
Most fillings are completed comfortably using local anaesthetic when required. You may feel some pressure during treatment, but your dentist will ensure you’re as comfortable as possible throughout the procedure.
What are tooth-coloured fillings?
Tooth-coloured fillings are made from composite resin that is selected to closely match the shade of your natural teeth. They restore the function of the tooth while providing a more natural appearance than traditional silver fillings.
How long do dental fillings last?
The lifespan of a filling depends on its size, location, your oral hygiene, bite forces and everyday habits. Regular dental check-ups help monitor existing fillings and identify when maintenance or replacement may be needed.
Can an old filling be replaced?
Yes. Fillings can wear down, crack or develop gaps over time. If an existing filling is no longer protecting the tooth effectively, your dentist may recommend repairing or replacing it.
Will my tooth be sensitive after a filling?
Some patients experience mild sensitivity to hot, cold or pressure for a short time after treatment. This usually settles as the tooth recovers. If symptoms persist or worsen, contact our team for a review.
What happens if I don't treat a cavity?
Untreated decay can progress deeper into the tooth, potentially leading to pain, infection or the need for more extensive treatment such as root canal therapy, a crown or extraction. Early assessment allows the most appropriate treatment to be recommended.
Can a filling repair a chipped tooth?
In some cases, yes. Tooth-coloured composite fillings may be used to restore small chips or minor damage where clinically appropriate. Your dentist will assess whether this is the best option for your tooth.
How long does a filling appointment take?
The appointment length depends on the size and number of fillings being completed. Many simple fillings can be completed in a single visit, although more complex cases may require additional time.
Are payment plans available?
Yes. Eligible patients can access flexible payment options through Afterpay, Zip, Humm and Fund My Dental. Provider approval and terms and conditions apply.
How can I help prevent future cavities?
Brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, cleaning between your teeth daily, reducing sugary snacks and drinks, and attending regular dental check-ups are all important for maintaining good oral health and reducing the risk of tooth decay.
How do I book a dental filling appointment?
