Fillings

Trusted Dentist in Mt Gravatt for Composite White Fillings

Whether it’s the earliest human civilisations or the technologically advanced societies of today, the dreaded toothache has always been a part of the human experience. For thousands of years, people have tried to find ways to clean and fill teeth damaged by tooth decay.

The field of dentistry has reached a point where any individual can get cost-effective, natural looking composite fillings that fix a person’s smile and restore full function of teeth. Composite fillings, also called white fillings, are the most effective option for patients of all ages.

Experienced Dentists for Composite Fillings

The most common questions we get from patients about tooth fillings are, “Will my fillings look out of place when I smile?” and “Do fillings feel unnatural in the mouth?”.

At Central Dental, we use high-quality composite resin fillings specially designed to match the exact colour of natural teeth.

What are Composite Fillings?

Composite fillings are made from a tooth-coloured compound resin made from food-grade, non-corrosive polymers. The composite resin is malleable and allows the dentist to fill a cavity and shape the filling to account for the shape of the jaw. The gel-like filling is then exposed to UV light or heat so that it can harden and bond with the tooth.

Many of our patients also choose to replace their gold and silver amalgam fillings with composite fillings.

Benefits of Composite White Fillings

Here are just some of the reasons why composite fillings are so popular:

• Dental fillings bond well with natural teeth, that means your dentist has to remove a minimal amount of the healthy tooth
• Composite fillings can be matched to the colour of the tooth, making them ideal for patients who feel self-conscious about traditional fillings
