White Composite Fillings
Dental Fillings in Mount Waverley
Most of us have had fillings at one point during our lives but gone are the days when fillings were steel grey and extremely noticeable. White composite fillings are much more subtle thanks to being made from a resin mix which is shaded to match the colour of your teeth.
Fillings are the simplest way of dealing with a cavity in a tooth that is otherwise problem free. Cavities are caused when the acids from certain foods and drinks gnaw away at the tooth’s enamel and your dentist will fill that hole so infection-causing bacteria can no longer get to the pulp of the tooth.
We offer white composite dental fillings in Melbourne at our Mount Waverley dental practice.

Dr Faith is very kind and knowledgeable, and especially brings joy to children who are afraid of dental treatment.Whenever my children have dental issues, they always ask me to make an appointment with Dr Faith first and insist on receiving treatment only from her.I strongly recommend Dr Faith to anyone in need of dental treatment, regardless of age.

Dr Tran and Charlotte did an incredible job of removing multiple wisdom teeth for my partner and I. Dr Tran was quick and efficient all the way providing the best comforting care supported by Charlotte. I felt no pain and had a very quick recovery period.After visiting two other dentists, Dr Tran was the only dentist confident to do my removal in the chair rather than a hospital. She truly is the wisdom teeth expert.Dentist@330 have got two new regular patients in us and also recommendations to our entire family.
I thoroughly enjoyed my experience here at Dentist@330! The clinic was very nice and clean. Dr Tran was lovely and treated my chipped tooth with a filling and cleaning service and I was very pleasantly surprised with how quick the session was. I have not experienced any pain in my tooth since!
I was very anxious about having my teeth clean due to sensitive teeth.Dr Faith throughout my procedure would stop to ensure I was okay before continuing on. Made the whole experience comfortable.Dr Faith was an absolute angel and the rest of the staff were so warm and friendly on arrival.
FAQs
White composite fillings are dental fillings made from a resin mix that can be shaded to match the colour of your natural teeth. Unlike traditional metal fillings, they blend in seamlessly with your teeth, making them much less noticeable.
Composite fillings typically last between 5 to 7 years but can last longer with proper oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups. Their durability depends on factors such as the location of the filling and how well you take care of your teeth.
When treating a cavity, your dentist will remove the decayed portion of the tooth and then fill the hole with a composite resin material. This prevents bacteria from causing further decay or infection.
Yes, composite fillings are safe and are a popular choice due to their aesthetic appeal and the absence of metals. They are free from mercury and other metals, making them a safe and effective option for dental restorations.
During the filling procedure, your dentist will numb the area around the affected tooth to ensure you do not feel any pain. The decayed part of the tooth is then removed, and the cavity is cleaned and filled with the composite material. The filling is then shaped and polished to match the natural contour of your tooth.
After getting composite fillings, maintain good oral hygiene by brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and visiting your dentist regularly for check-ups. Avoid biting down on hard foods and chewing ice to prevent damage to the fillings.
