Tweed Heads Dental Fillings
7+
Years in the Industry.
At Tweed City Dental, we offer dental fillings that blend naturally with your teeth, helping to restore both function and appearance. Our clinic in Tweed Heads uses tooth coloured materials that are matched to your existing enamel, making them a popular choice for repairing decay or minor damage. Unlike traditional amalgam fillings, these composite options are designed to look discreet and feel comfortable.
Dental fillings can be an important part of maintaining oral health, especially when decay has compromised the integrity of a tooth. By using durable, aesthetically pleasing materials, we aim to ensure that restorations are both practical and subtle. The process involves carefully cleaning the affected area before shaping and applying the filling, allowing it to bond securely with the surrounding tooth structure.

Achieving Natural Looks with Composite Fillings
We understand that maintaining a natural-looking smile is important, even when you need a filling. Tooth coloured fillings are designed to preserve the appearance of your teeth while providing lasting protection against further decay. Our approach involves selecting the right shade to blend seamlessly, so the result feels comfortable and looks natural.
Fillings are often recommended after treating cavities, but they can also be used to repair minor chips or worn areas. The material bonds securely to the tooth, restoring both shape and function without drawing attention. After placement, we provide guidance on maintaining the filling, including tips on brushing, flossing, and reducing stress on the restored area. Regular check-ups help monitor the condition of the filling and the surrounding teeth.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are tooth coloured fillings made of?
Tooth coloured fillings are typically made from a composite resin material that is designed to mimic the natural shade of teeth. This resin contains a mixture of plastic and finely ground glass particles, giving it both strength and a lifelike appearance. The material is applied in layers and shaped to fit the tooth before being hardened with a special light. The result is a smooth, durable filling that blends well with surrounding teeth.
Are tooth coloured fillings durable?
Tooth coloured fillings are designed to be both functional and long-lasting. They are strong enough to withstand regular chewing and are resistant to minor impacts. However, like all dental restorations, they may wear down over time, particularly if the tooth is exposed to heavy grinding or biting forces. Maintaining good oral hygiene and avoiding particularly hard or sticky foods can help prolong the lifespan of the filling. Regular check-ups ensure that any wear or damage is identified early.
Can tooth coloured fillings be used on front teeth?
Yes, tooth coloured fillings are well-suited for front teeth due to their natural appearance. The composite material can be colour-matched to the surrounding enamel, making it an ideal choice for visible areas. Whether it’s addressing a small cavity or repairing a chipped edge, these fillings are designed to look seamless when you smile. Proper placement techniques and careful shade selection help maintain an even and attractive finish.
What can cause a filling to fail or fall out?
A filling may fail due to various factors, including excessive wear, decay forming around the edges, or damage from chewing hard objects. Over time, the bond between the filling and the tooth may weaken, especially if the tooth itself has become compromised. Keeping up with regular dental visits allows the dentist to monitor the integrity of fillings and address any early signs of failure. If a filling becomes loose or falls out, it’s important to seek dental advice promptly to prevent further complications.
