The Tooth-Coloured Filling Process: A Step-by-Step Guide
- Comprehensive Assessment: Your dental journey begins with a thorough examination by one of our skilled dentists. We’ll carefully assess the extent of the decay and discuss your treatment options, ensuring you understand the process and feel comfortable with your choices.
- Preparing the Tooth: The decayed portion of the tooth is carefully removed using specialized dental instruments. We prioritize your comfort throughout this process and utilize gentle techniques to minimize any discomfort.
- Precise Filling Placement: Our dentists expertly apply the tooth-coloured composite resin in layers to the prepared area. Each layer is meticulously shaped and hardened using a special curing light, ensuring a seamless and natural-looking result.
- Finishing Touches: Once the filling is complete, we’ll meticulously polish it to achieve a smooth, natural finish that blends seamlessly with your surrounding teeth, giving you a confident and radiant smile.
The Benefits of Choosing Tooth-Coloured Fillings
Natural Aesthetics
Unlike traditional amalgam fillings, tooth-coloured fillings seamlessly blend with your natural tooth colour, ensuring a discreet and aesthetically pleasing result.
Enhanced Durability
When properly cared for, tooth-coloured fillings are designed to be durable and long-lasting, providing you with years of reliable service.
Versatility
Beyond treating cavities, tooth-coloured fillings can also be used to repair minor chips, cracks, and wear and tear on your teeth.
Mercury-Free
A healthier and more environmentally friendly option compared to amalgam fillings, as they contain no mercury.
What to Expect During Your Appointment
At Braeside Dental Centre, we prioritize your comfort and strive to create a relaxed and welcoming environment. We utilize local anesthesia to numb the treatment area, ensuring a painless experience. Our dentists work efficiently to minimize your time in the chair, allowing you to return to your daily routine with minimal disruption.
Post-Treatment Care for Long-Lasting Results
- Sensitivity Management: You may experience some temporary sensitivity after the procedure. Over-the-counter pain relievers can help manage any discomfort, and we’re always available to answer any questions you may have.
- Dietary Considerations: Avoid hard, sticky, or chewy foods that could dislodge the filling.
- Maintaining Optimal Oral Hygiene: Continue with your regular oral hygiene routine, including brushing twice daily with a fluoride toothpaste and flossing regularly.

Patient Testimonials
This is the most welcoming and professional dentist offices I’ve been to! The receptionists are warm and so easy to talk to and I now look forward to my cleaning visits as the hygienists are kind and gentle. Dr. Goel makes the many dental procedures I’ve had comfortable and continuously checks in to ensure I’m ok. To be honest I used to get anxiety visiting other dentist offices but the staff here has completely changed that for me! Thank you Braeside Dental Team, you truly make a difference!
Walson
The folks at Braeside dental have always been personable, approachable, happy to educate and answer questions and the dentist (Dr Goel) even followed up via phone after a filling to make sure it felt OK the next day. When unable to get visualizations in an x-ray they took an extra photo free of charge. Willing to go the extra mile to help, the customer service is fantastic and I would recommend to anyone living locally. Even if this clinic wasn’t 5 minutes away, I would travel further to come here because of the great experiences I’ve had.
