Dental Fillings in East Brisbane
A cavity, chipped tooth or broken old filling? We can assess the damage and repair it with a natural-looking filling when enough healthy tooth remains.
At EasyCare Family Dental, we explain whether a filling is the right repair, what it involves and the cost before treatment begins.
If you have severe pain, swelling or a filling has just fallen out, see our urgent dental care page or call us.
Repair a cavity or damaged filling
White or tooth-coloured dental fillings are commonly used for small to moderate areas of damage. An examination confirms whether the remaining tooth is strong enough to support one.
A cavity
Decay can be removed and the space restored with composite material when a filling is suitable. Read about a hole in a tooth without pain.
An old filling
A worn, loose or broken filling can be assessed and replaced if enough healthy tooth remains.
A small chip
Minor damage may be repaired with tooth-coloured material, depending on its size and bite position.
What happens at a filling appointment?
Dr Majid Serpoosh and Dr Sheyda Almasloo provide general dental care at EasyCare. We take time to show you what we find and discuss the suitable repair.
- Assess the toothWe examine the damage and take an X-ray if needed to check its depth.
- Agree on the planWe explain whether a filling is suitable, discuss alternatives and give you a quote.
- Restore and checkIf you choose to proceed, we use local anaesthetic when needed, place the filling, then shape and check your bite. Read about pain when biting after a filling.
When a filling may not be enough
A large crack, repeated breakage, extensive decay or lingering pain can mean a filling alone will not solve the problem. We will explain what we find rather than promise a filling before examining the tooth.
How much is a dental filling?
The price depends on the size, tooth and number of surfaces involved, and whether an old filling must be removed. We cannot give an accurate fee without assessing your tooth. You will receive a treatment recommendation and quote before going ahead.
