Tooth-Coloured Fillings

Modern fillings should restore both function and appearance — natural looking, minimally invasive, and built to last.

Restore your tooth, naturally

Modern fillings should restore both function and appearance. We use high-quality tooth-coloured composite materials that blend naturally with your existing teeth while preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible.

Where appropriate, we take a minimally invasive approach, removing only damaged tissue so your tooth remains stronger for longer.

Whether you have a small cavity, a chipped tooth, or an old filling that has worn down, tooth-coloured fillings remain one of the most common and effective ways to restore your tooth’s strength and appearance. At Central Dental Group, our Frankston and Elsternwick teams use materials designed to blend seamlessly with your smile.

Tooth decay is one of the most frequent reasons patients need a filling, but fillings can also be used to repair minor to moderate chips or cracks, or to replace older fillings that have deteriorated over time. Catching these issues early, often during a routine check up, generally means a simpler and more conservative treatment.

  • The decayed or damaged portion of the tooth, or an existing filling that needs replacing, is carefully removed
  • The remaining tooth surface is thoroughly cleaned and dried
  • The tooth is filled using a safe, tooth-coloured material such as composite resin
  • The filling is shaped and polished to match the natural contour and colour of your tooth, leaving a seamless finish

The lifespan of a filling depends on several factors, including the size of the restoration, the material used, and how well it is cared for over time. Some fillings can last many years, while others may need replacement sooner. Your dentist will discuss your options, the expected longevity, and the associated costs before any treatment goes ahead, so you can make an informed decision.

To find out whether a filling is the right solution for you, book a check up with Central Dental Group.
