Dental Fillings in Dubbo

Patient looking at dentist While nobody likes being told they have a cavity, Delroy Park Dental Care exclusively offers white fillings, also known as composite fillings, to restore a person’s smile without unsightly amalgam. These modern dental restorations provide a natural-looking and durable solution for treating cavities and minor tooth damage.

What Are the Benefits?

White fillings offer several advantages over traditional amalgam ones:

Aesthetically pleasing: They blend seamlessly with your natural tooth colour
Tooth preservation: Less tooth structure needs to be removed during placement
Mercury-free: A safer, non-toxic option for your oral health
Versatile: Suitable for both front and back teeth

What Does the the Procedure Involve?

Getting a white filling is straightforward. First, we clean the affected area and remove any decay. Then, we apply the composite material in layers, shaping it to match your tooth’s natural contours. Finally, we use a special light to harden the filling, ensuring a strong & durable result. The entire procedure is typically done in a single visit.

Durability and Longevity

Thanks to advancements in dental materials, white fillings now rival amalgam ones in terms of strength and longevity. These restorations can last for many years with proper care, including regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups. While they may cost slightly more than amalgam restorations initially, their aesthetic and health benefits make them a worthwhile investment.

Is This Type of Restoration Right for You?

White fillings are an excellent choice for most patients needing cavity repairs or replacements for old fillings. They also address minor tooth damage, such as chips or small fractures. During your consultation, we’ll assess your specific needs and determine if these restorations are the best option for your dental health.
