Dental Fillings

Dental Fillings in Brisbane

Dental fillings are commonly needed to treat cavities or repair broken and chipped teeth. Cavities usually develop over time due to infrequent brushing and flossing, as well as regular consumption of sugary foods and drinks.

At Cannon Hill Smiles, we provide high quality tooth coloured dental fillings in Brisbane that bond directly to the tooth and blend seamlessly with your natural smile. These modern fillings offer excellent strength and aesthetics, and in most cases patients cannot even tell a filling has been placed.

What are dental fillings?

Dental fillings are used to repair cavities or small areas of tooth damage caused by decay, wear or minor fractures. During treatment, the damaged portion of the tooth is removed and replaced with a filling material to restore the tooth’s shape and function.

Fillings help prevent further decay and protect the tooth from future damage.

When do you need a dental filling?

You may need a dental filling if you experience:

• Tooth sensitivity to hot, cold or sweet foods
• Toothache or pain when chewing
• Visible holes or dark spots on a tooth
• A chipped or worn tooth
• Cavities detected during a routine check up

In many cases, cavities do not cause symptoms early on, which is why regular check ups are important. Early treatment with a filling can help avoid more complex procedures later.
