Composite Fillings

Composite Fillings Mount Waverley

Restore your smile naturally with Pinewood Dental Group’s composite fillings in Mount Waverley. These tooth-coloured fillings replace old, unsightly mercury-based amalgams and are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Composite fillings not only repair decayed teeth but can also improve the appearance of chipped, misshapen, or discoloured teeth for a more confident smile.

Why Choose Composite Fillings?

Composite fillings are preferred for their aesthetic benefits as they match the colour of your natural teeth. They are durable, bond well to the tooth structure, and require less removal of healthy tooth material compared to traditional fillings. This means a more conservative and gentle approach to restoring your teeth.

How Does It Work?

Our dentists will carefully remove any decay or old filling material before shaping and bonding the composite resin to your tooth. The resin is then hardened using a special curing light, providing a strong, durable restoration that looks and feels natural.

What to expect
  • Tooth-coloured fillings that blend seamlessly with your smile
  • Durable and long-lasting restorations
  • Less removal of healthy tooth structure
  • Quick, minimally invasive procedure usually completed in one visit
  • Gentle, comfortable treatment with local anaesthetic as needed
Inlay and Onlay Options

For larger cavities or damage, our custom-made inlays and onlays offer a perfect balance between fillings and crowns. Inlays fit within the cusps of the tooth, while onlays cover one or more cusps to restore strength and function. Both are colour-matched and designed for a natural look.

Who Is It Suitable For?

Composite fillings and inlays/onlays are ideal for patients with tooth decay, small to medium-sized cavities, or cosmetic concerns. Our dentists will assess your individual needs and recommend the best restoration method during your consultation.
