Dental Fillings Brisbane
What Are Tooth Fillings?
We say that a tooth filling is kind of like a patch for a damaged or decayed tooth. When a tooth has a hole or is hurt, our dentist removes the damaged part and fills it. This helps the tooth stay strong, stops further damage, and makes sure the tooth can still function like normal.
The filling can be silver, white, or another colour, depending on what you and our dentist decide.
Why You Might Need a Dental Filling
We may recommend you have a dental filling if your tooth’s health or its appearance is compromised. This includes:
- Decay
- Cracks
- Sensitivity
- Discolouration of teeth.
Our practice employs quality materials and techniques to repair dental damage and seamlessly integrate fillings with your natural teeth.
Whether you’re tackling a new dental concern or upgrading an existing filling, our dentists can help. If you have lost tooth fillings, get in touch with us. Our durable solutions restore your smile naturally and effectively.
Dental Fillings Procedure
What Happens Before, During And After A Dental Filling?
At Kedron Family Dental, our team are committed to making sure you feel happy and comfortable before, during, and after your procedure, and will happily answer any questions you may have. After an initial check-up at our Brisbane clinic, and if it is decided that you do need a filling and you’re happy to go ahead, one of our qualified dentists will begin the procedure by:
- Preparing your tooth in order to restore the decay or damage. The decay or damage is carefully removed, and the area is cleansed to remove bacteria or debris before the restoration is completed.
- After the cavity has been filled with a dental filling, your dentist will discuss steps you can take to prevent decay from forming under or around the filling, or in other teeth, and the best ways to care for your dental filling.
Please note: fillings will naturally wear over time through normal chewing habits and can be accelerated if you are grinding or clenching your teeth.

How Long Do Dental Fillings Last?
The lifespan of dental fillings can vary based on several factors, including the:
- Type of filling material used
- Size and location of the filling
- Individual oral hygiene practices.Â
Average Dental Filling Lifespans
Amalgam Fillings
Silver amalgam fillings tend to last around 10 to 15 years.
Composite Fillings
Tooth-coloured composite fillings may last 7 to 10 years, although advancements in materials are extending their longevity.
Gold Fillings
Gold fillings are highly durable and can last 15 years or more.
Regular dental check-ups are essential for monitoring the condition of fillings and identifying any signs of wear or deterioration. Maintaining good oral hygiene practices, such as regular brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings, can also contribute to the longevity of dental fillings. It’s important to consult with your dentist if you experience any issues with a filling, such as sensitivity or pain.
