Tooth Fillings In Adelaide

Rectify Dental Decay with a Tooth Filling

If you have one or more decaying teeth, the dentists at Burnside Dental Practice can repair them with a tooth filling. We can restore the strength, integrity and function of damaged teeth so that they can do their job for many more years to come. In addition, we stop cavities from getting larger and causing permanent damage by removing the decay before applying the dental filling material.

What Does the Tooth Filling Procedure Involve?

Our tooth filling procedure involves applying a local anaesthetic to the area, using an instrument to remove decay, and cleaning away bacteria and debris. We then place the filling material on the tooth and use a special light to harden it. Finally, we use a tool to shape the material so that it replicates the natural tooth and ensures there are no problems with bite.

Dental filling procedures can be uncomfortable for some people, but they are rarely painful. We inject a local anaesthetic into the targeted area, numbing sensations and allowing us to get the job done without causing distress. You may experience some mild sensitivity afterwards, but this is normal and the numbness from the anaesthetic will generally subside after several hours.
