Natural-looking dental fillings in Adelaide CBD.
Dental fillings help repair tooth decay, chips, cracks and small areas of cosmetic damage before they become bigger problems.
At Brighter Smiles Centre, your Adelaide CBD dentist will remove the damaged area, protect the tooth and restore its shape, comfort and function.
Filling options
Amalgam or composite resin?
Different teeth need different materials. Your dentist will explain which filling option suits the tooth, bite and appearance you want.
Composite resin
Tooth-coloured resin can be shade-matched and bonded in layers for a natural finish.
Amalgam
Silver-coloured amalgam is durable and economical, often used where strength is important.
Cosmetic repair
Composite can also help repair chips, close small gaps and protect exposed tooth roots.
Your appointment
What happens during a filling?
The appointment is focused on comfort, removing decay and rebuilding the tooth carefully.
Local anaesthetic can be used to keep you comfortable. If you are nervous, sedation options can be discussed before treatment.
