Dental Fillings in Dubbo

Patient looking at dentist Finding out you have a cavity isn’t ideal, but at Smile on Dubbo & Narromine, we prioritise your comfort and aesthetics by using white fillings, also called composite fillings. These state-of-the-art restorations effectively repair cavities and minor tooth damage while maintaining the natural appearance of your smile—no metal needed.

What Are the Advantages?

White fillings come with numerous benefits compared to traditional amalgam fillings:

Natural Appearance: Designed to match your tooth colour, they blend seamlessly into your smile.
Conservative Treatment: Requires removing less tooth structure, preserving your natural teeth.
Non-Toxic: Mercury-free, ensuring a safer option for your overall health.
Versatile: Suitable for restoring both front and back teeth.

How is the Procedure Performed?

Getting a white filling is a simple and efficient process. First, we clean the affected tooth and remove any decay. Next, we carefully apply the composite material in layers, shaping it to mimic your tooth’s natural structure. Finally, we harden the filling using a curing light, ensuring a strong, durable finish. Most procedures are completed in a single appointment.

Long Lasting Durability

Modern composite materials are incredibly durable, making them comparable to amalgam in terms of strength and longevity. With good oral hygiene—regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental visits—white fillings can last for many years. While they may have a slightly higher upfront cost, their aesthetic and health benefits make them an excellent long-term choice.

Are Fillings Right for You?

Composite fillings are ideal for most people needing cavity repair or replacement of older fillings. They’re also effective for treating minor damage, such as small chips or fractures. During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your needs to determine whether white fillings are the best solution for your oral health.
