What Are Dental Fillings?

Dental fillings are restorative treatments used to repair teeth affected by decay, wear, or minor trauma. When plaque and bacteria eat away at the tooth enamel, a cavity forms. If left untreated, this decay can spread, leading to pain, infection, and even tooth loss. A dental filling involves removing the decayed portion of the tooth and filling the space with a durable material such as composite resin, amalgam, or glass ionomer. At SIA Dental, we offer tooth-coloured composite fillings that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, ensuring both function and aesthetics.

The Benefits of Dental Fillings

Restore Tooth Structure and Function

Dental fillings play a crucial role in restoring the integrity of a damaged tooth. By filling the cavity, we rebuild your tooth’s shape and function, making it easier to chew and speak comfortably.

Prevent Progression of Decay

Left untreated, cavities can deepen and cause significant damage. A dental filling stops this progression, protecting the tooth and surrounding structures.

Improve Appearance with Tooth-Coloured Fillings

Our composite resin fillings match the colour of your natural teeth, providing an aesthetic solution that enhances your smile. These modern materials are strong, long-lasting, and ideal for both front and back teeth.

Step-by-step process​

The Dental Filling Procedure at SIA Dental

We aim to make every step of tooth filling for Melbourne patients as comfortable and straightforward as possible.
1
Consultation and Dental Health Assessment
Your appointment begins with a thorough dental health assessment. We check for signs of decay or damage using visual inspection and digital x-rays if needed. This allows us to determine the extent of the issue and recommend the most suitable treatment.
2
Local Anaesthesia
If necessary, we gently administer local anaesthesia to numb the area, ensuring a pain-free experience.
3
Tooth Preparation
The decayed or damaged part of the tooth is carefully removed. Our dentists use precision tools and techniques to preserve as much of your healthy tooth structure as possible.
Shape
Filling Placement
A bonding agent is applied, followed by the tooth-coloured composite material. This is shaped and hardened using a special light, then finely polished for a smooth, natural finish.
Path
Final Check and Bite Adjustment
We check your bite and make any necessary adjustments to ensure your comfort and long-term function.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Long Does the Dental Filling Procedure Take?
Most dental fillings can be completed in a single visit and take about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size and complexity of the cavity.
On average, composite resin fillings last 5 to 10 years with proper care. Factors like oral hygiene, grinding habits, and the tooth’s location can influence longevity.
No. We use local anaesthesia to ensure the procedure is comfortable and pain-free. Some patients may experience mild sensitivity after the treatment, which usually subsides quickly.
Yes, but we recommend waiting until the anaesthetic wears off to avoid accidentally biting your cheek or tongue. If composite resin was used, it sets immediately, so you can eat soft foods shortly after the appointment.
