Welcome to Hallam Family Dentistry, where we provide a wide range of dental services to help you achieve and maintain good oral health. One of the most common treatments we offer is dental fillings, which are used to repair teeth that have been affected by decay, cracks, fractures or trauma.
Tooth decay is a prevalent issue affecting Australians of all ages, with almost every adult and child experiencing it at some point. Dental fillings are a common and effective way to restore teeth that have been damaged by decay. During a filling procedure, the decayed or affected part of the tooth is removed, and then filled with a material that restores the tooth’s form, function, and appearance.
At Hallam Family Dentistry, we offer tooth-coloured fillings, which are a safe and popular alternative to traditional silver amalgam fillings. Unlike silver amalgam fillings, which contain mercury, tooth-coloured fillings are made of composite resin materials that are completely free of toxic materials.
Tooth-colored fillings are also designed to blend in seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing a more natural and aesthetically pleasing result. Our experienced dental team will work with you to select the appropriate shade of filling material, ensuring that your restored tooth looks and feels just like a natural tooth.
We understand that dental care can be expensive, which is why we offer cost-effective and affordable tooth filling services. We also offer gap-free dental fillings for eligible patients with private health funds, which means that you can receive treatment without any out-of-pocket expenses.
If you think you may need a dental filling or would like to find out more about our dental services, please don’t hesitate to contact us. Our friendly team is always happy to answer any questions you may have, and to help you book an appointment at a time that suits you.
The length of time it takes to perform a dental filling procedure will depend on the size and location of the filling, as well as the individual patient. In most cases, a dental filling can be completed in a single appointment. Book an appointment to know more.
In most cases, dental fillings are covered by dental insurance plans. At Hallam Family Dentistry, we offer gap-free dental fillings for eligible patients with private health funds, which means that you can receive treatment without any out-of-pocket expenses. And if you do not have any private health insurance, we can offer the treatment at a very affordable price.
