Tooth Fillings
Do you have a chipped or cracked tooth? Been told that you have cavities and now need fillings?.
We know what you’re thinking: “What is a filling? How long will it take? Will it hurt? How much will it cost?”
Dental Filling
At Emu Plains Family Dental, you can be confident you’re in safe hands.
We will use photos and x-rays to determine if you have cavities and where they are located. Discussing your habits, your history and other factors we will try and understand why you’ve developed them. Addressing the cause and modifying behavioural factors is just as important as doing the filling themselves.
Dental Fillings
Our dentists will gently remove the damaged or decayed part of the tooth. They will then place a beautiful tooth coloured filling.
This will restore the function of the tooth and will blend in and appear very natural, leaving you feeling confident with your smile.
High quality tooth coloured fillings
All of our dental filling appointments are undertaken in our calm, modern and relaxing clinic, and usually performed under local anaesthetic. Put on our noise-cancelling headphones, pick up on your latest Netflix binge and we’ll take care of the rest. We use the latest technologies to ensure the procedure from start to finish is pain-free and anxiety-free and that you are 100% comfortable.
Teeth can be decayed, worn down or eroded and often patients are unaware of the presence of this damage as they have yet to develop any symptoms. However, the absence of pain doesn’t necessarily mean the absence of a problem. This is because the cavity is not close to the nerve yet. The longer you delay care, the larger the cavity will become which increases the risk of infection and will involve the need for more extensive treatment such as root canal, crowns or in the worst case scenario extraction.
