At Star Dental, dental fillings are used to treat teeth affected by cavities, minor damage, or worn restorations.
The goal is to restore function while preserving as much of the natural tooth as possible.
We use tooth-coloured materials that blend with your teeth and provide a practical solution for everyday dental care.
Dental fillings are used to repair areas of a tooth that have been affected by decay or small fractures.
At Star Dental, we typically use composite (tooth-coloured) materials that bond directly to the tooth surface. This helps support the remaining structure while allowing for a more conservative approach to treatment.
Before placing a filling, we assess the condition of the tooth and select a shade that matches your surrounding teeth.
Dental fillings may be appropriate if you:
Recommendations are based on a thorough exam and a discussion of what will best support your oral health.
Over time, older fillings can wear down, crack, or lose their seal.
In some cases, replacing them with composite materials may help improve how the tooth functions and how well the restoration fits.
Because composite fillings bond directly to the tooth, they can allow for a more precise restoration. We will assess your existing fillings and let you know if replacement is appropriate.
Filling treatment is typically completed in a single visit.
The affected area is cleaned, and the filling material is placed and shaped to restore the tooth. It is then adjusted to fit your bite and polished.
Our team will explain each step so you know what to expect during your appointment.
Good oral hygiene and regular dental visits help maintain your fillings over time.
Brushing, flossing, and monitoring any changes in how your tooth feels can help identify issues early. During checkups, we assess your fillings to ensure they continue to function properly.
Care is planned with a focus on preserving tooth structure, and each step is explained so you understand what is being done and why. Appointments are structured to keep treatment efficient while ensuring your bite feels comfortable afterward.
