Dental Fillings

At Colombo Street Dental, we provide high-quality dental fillings to restore the health and function of teeth affected by decay or damage. Our filling services are designed to be both durable and aesthetically pleasing, ensuring your smile remains healthy and natural-looking. 

What is a Dental Filling?

A dental filling is a treatment used to repair minor to moderate cavities or tooth damage fillings help restore the tooth’s structure, prevent further decay, and maintain its normal function. We offer a range of filings including:

• Composite fillings made from a blend of plastic resins and fine glass particles matching the colour of your natural teeth for a seamless look. These fillings are light-cured and are instantly hardened meaning you are able to eat straightaway after the procedure. This is the most common type of filling material we use as they are strong and durable and are aesthetically pleasing.
  
  
• Glass ionomer fillings, or GIC fillings, are a self-adhesive restorative material and release fluoride, which can help protect the tooth. We generally would use these in teeth that have very deep decay to improve the chance of success on the filling, avoiding a toothache that could lead to losing your tooth or getting a root canal. GIC fillings are also used on cases with a tricky area of access. Unlike the composite fillings, GIC is chemical cured and you will need to be a little careful biting or chewing in the area for a few hours after the procedure.

What does this look like?

If an area for filling has been identified during an examination our dentists will determine the best treatment plan for you going forward. 

At your appointment for the filling the area will be numbed with local anesthetic to ensure comfort before preparing the tooth. Any decay or damaged portions of tooth can then be removed. The filling material will be carefully placed into the cavity and sculpted into a natural shape.

We are committed to providing comfortable and effective filling services to maintain your oral health. Contact us today to schedule an appointment and learn more about our restorative treatments.
