Achieve a beautiful, healthy-looking smile that feels just as good as it looks.

Our practice frequently performs dental fillings to fix and restore damaged teeth while safeguarding against further decay or infection. We use composite resin fillings that match your tooth colour, providing a stronger bond than traditional metal fillings. This approach allows for minimal drilling and more precise repairs.

Why Are Fillings So Important?

Delaying a filling, even if your tooth feels fine, can lead to bigger problems down the road.

Here’s why fillings matter:

  • Stop cavities from worsening.
  • Prevent infections or painful abscesses.
  • Reinforce teeth to restore their strength.
  • Save on costly treatments by addressing issues early.
  • Minimise sensitivity to temperature changes.
  • Maintain the natural look of your smile for longer.

How Is A Cavity Filled?

Gentle Freezing

To keep you comfortable, we carefully numb the gums around the tooth. While some patients may feel anxious about this step, it effectively desensitizes the area, ensuring the procedure is virtually pain-free.

Filling the Tooth

The tooth is then cleaned and prepared, followed by the application of an adhesive gel. A composite resin (tooth-coloured filling) is placed, sculpted, and shaped to fit your tooth’s contours and bite perfectly.

Curing the Composite

The resin is hardened with a specialised LED light. Your dentist will then check the filling, make any needed adjustments, and polish the surface to achieve a smooth, natural finish.

How Much Does a Filling Cost?

Dental fillings are a vital dental treatment to address and prevent oral health issues, and most insurance plans provide substantial coverage for them. For those without insurance, the cost generally falls between $380 and $500.

Several factors influence the exact cost of your treatment, including your oral health, the number and location of cavities, the need for updated x-rays, the procedure’s duration, and the tools and materials required.

Addressing cavities promptly is a top priority, as it avoids more complex treatments, alleviates dental discomfort, and helps maintain your overall health and well-being.

Last week, I suddenly felt a severe toothache. I went to Wellington. They received me the next day and arranged for a check-up. On the third day, I received root canal treatment. I didn't feel any discomfort at all. The receptionist and the doctor were both very friendly and interesting. I highly recommend it.

My daughter is in London for school and developed a sudden tooth ache. Had to call on a Sunday morning and they were fantastic . Fit her in that day, and took amazing care of her. She is terrified of dentists, so the fact that she wants to go back to see them speaks volumes! Thanks for your amazing care
