Fillings

Fillings no longer need to look ugly with the old amalgam silver fillings. At Coomera Family Dental, our dentists take into account the aesthetic of the tooth, durability and affordability and work with you to determine the type of filling best suited for you.

Our clinic offers superior porcelain and resin fillings which are both natural looking and only require a single visit procedure. Composite resin fillings are placed in soft and set hard with blue light and are more suitable to smaller cavities. Resin fillings are less expensive than porcelain fillings but are not as durable. Porcelain fillings are hard prefabricated fillings that are bonded into the cavity and are the preferred filling for larger cavities. They are more expensive than the composite resin but are more durable and therefore last longer.

Fillings are used to:

• repair cracked or broken teeth
• worn down teeth from nail biting or tooth grinding
• fill cavities when decayed materials are removed
