Why Dental Fillings Are Your Best Choice

Cavities can seriously affect your oral health. A cavity is a hole in your tooth caused by enamel decay, and it can lead to several problems including:


  • Increased sensitivity to hot and cold foods and drinks
  • Minor discomfort to severe pain
  • Nerve damage, if left untreated
  • Weakens your tooth's structure
  • Prone to chipping and cracking


We treat these issues with dental fillings to reduce sensitivity and restore your tooth’s structure. Our skilled dentists use advanced bonding techniques to produce strong and aesthetically superior dental fillings.



Signs You May Need a Dental Filling

Persistent toothache

Sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures

You see a small crack or chip in your tooth

Noticeable dark spot on a tooth

If you notice any of these symptoms, contact us immediately to save your tooth from complicated problems later on.

Durable and Natural-looking Dental Fillings

We provide natural-looking restorations or composite dental fillings in Toowoomba to fill any cavities that have formed in your teeth. 


Composite fillings are also known as resin fillings. These are white or tooth-coloured fillings that cosmetically appear the same as your natural tooth. We want to save your natural tooth as much as possible. That’s why our dental fillings are colour-matched to the shade of your teeth for a seamless restoration, carefully moulded for a precise fit. 


When placed with meticulous care, they are less likely to cause fractures or cracks to the surrounding tooth structure and can stay good for 5 to 15 years. 


The cost of dental fillings in Toowoomba varies based on the extent of tooth decay and the number of fillings needed. Although, composite fillings are more budget-friendly than ceramic fillings. If you would like more information on the price of dental fillings, please contact us.

What You Can Expect from Dental Fillings at Garden City Dental Practice?


1

Assessment

After your dentist has performed a preliminary assessment of your situation and determined a filling as the best course of action, you will be booked in for your treatment. Dental filling treatments can last anywhere from 30 minutes to a couple of hours to complete depending on the number of fillings necessary.

2

Tooth Filling Procedure

Most of the time, dentists will prepare the treatment area with a numbing agent before a local anaesthetic is applied. This ensures that you won’t experience pain or discomfort from the anaesthetic process.


After the anaesthesia begins to kick in, your dentist will then proceed to remove any decay from the damaged tooth and seal the area off with the filling material. Afterwards, part of the filling may be filed down to maintain a natural teeth alignment and bite feeling.

3

Tooth Filling Aftercare

Once your dental filling is complete, you can usually enjoy your favourite foods right away! Just keep in mind that the treated tooth might be a bit sensitive to sweet, cold, or hot items initially.


If you had a deeper filling, you might experience some discomfort as the anaesthesia wears off. This is a normal part of the healing process and should improve in a few days. Consult your dentist in Toowoomba if the sensitivity persists after a week.
