After decay in a tooth is removed, an area is left behind that is susceptible to further decay and injury. This area needs to be filled in order to restore the tooth back to function and protect it against breakage or further decay.

Our dental staff at Eltham Dental Clinic are dedicated to making your dental experience as comfortable and pain-free as possible. We use a local anaesthetic before your filling, and ensure that your filling feels and looks as natural as possible. If you are in need of a filling, call to our team today.

A composite filling is a resin material (like plastic) that comes in serval shades so can be matched to the colour of your teeth. It is bonded to the remaining surface of the tooth, allowing the dentist to be more conservative than in the past.

Glass ionomer fillings are made of acrylic and glass components, they also have the added benefit of fluoride. This type of material is usually used for fillings below the gum line, temporary restorations and for filling baby teeth.
