Dental Fillings in Maryborough
Fillings repair and rebuild teeth damaged by cavities, sealing out bacteria so the tooth can function normally again. Getting one sorted promptly makes a real difference to long-term dental health. Left untreated, a cavity will only grow, and what starts as a simple fix can turn into something far more involved.
Restoring Teeth Affected by Decay
Once decay is removed, a filling seals the tooth and restores its shape and function. Our practice offers both composite and amalgam fillings, and we’ll talk you through the options at your appointment so you can make an informed decision.
Composite resin (white fillings) bonds directly to the tooth, looks virtually identical to natural enamel, and actually helps strengthen a tooth weakened by decay. Amalgam (silver fillings) has a longer lifespan and is a practical choice when cost is a concern or the cavity is large. Both are reliable restorations; the right choice depends on your tooth, your priorities, and your budget.
How Long Fillings Last and When They Need Replacing
What to Expect
We numb the area before starting, so most patients feel very little during the procedure. Your filling material is placed and shaped to match your bite precisely. You’ll leave the same day with a restored tooth and straightforward aftercare advice from our team
