Tooth Fillingsin Gosnells
Cavities can creep up when you least expect them.
Sometimes they may be accompanied by toothaches, but other times there is no sensitivity whatsoever. Tooth decay can lead to the following:
- Pain when biting down
- Sensitivity to sweet foods or drinks
- Something feeling not quite right around your tooth
- Food catching between your teeth
It’s best to correct tooth decay very early so that we can avoid the need for a crown or root canal. With a filling, we can replace the missing tooth structure with a tooth-coloured or amalgam restoration. The filling returns strength and function to the tooth, preventing it from decaying any further.
What to Expect DuringYour Filling Appointment
First, the tooth being worked on is thoroughly numbed to prevent any discomfort or sensitivity during the procedure. Next, the damaged surfaces of the tooth are removed, and the filling materials are shaped into place.
If the filling is composite, we carefully match the shade of the restoration with the colour of your surrounding enamel. Finally, a bright light cures the filling in place.
If you suspect that you may have a cavity, or have an old filling that is starting to wear out, then contact Tandara Dental Centre straightaway.
FAQ
Dental fillings are used to repair teeth affected by decay, wear, or minor fractures. They restore the tooth’s shape, strength, and function, preventing further damage and alleviating discomfort. If you experience tooth sensitivity, pain when biting, or notice visible holes in your teeth, it’s important to consult a dentist promptly.
The lifespan of a dental filling depends on the material and your oral hygiene. Composite resin fillings usually last 5–7 years, while amalgam fillings can last 10–15 years. Ceramic fillings are durable and can last 15 years or more, and glass ionomer fillings typically last 5–8 years. Regular check-ups help ensure your fillings remain in great condition.
During a filling procedure, the dentist will numb the affected area to ensure comfort, remove any decayed tissue, and clean the cavity. The chosen filling material is then placed, shaped to fit your tooth, and hardened if needed. Most procedures take about 30–60 minutes, depending on complexity.
After your filling, it’s best to avoid chewing on that side of your mouth until the numbness wears off. Stick to soft foods for the first 24 hours and brush gently around the filled area. Monitor for any sensitivity or discomfort and contact the clinic if it persists. Following these steps helps maintain the filling’s longevity and supports your overall oral health.
The cost varies depending on the type of filling and which tooth is treated. Composite resin fillings are generally more expensive due to their aesthetic benefits, while amalgam fillings are more affordable for less visible teeth. Flexible payment options, including Afterpay and Zip Money, are available to help spread the cost.
