Teeth Fillings for Dental caries

If you experience sensitivity during brushing or when you eat hot or cold foods, you may have tooth decay. Once tooth decay has developed, it’s important to diagnose and treat it quickly.

Dental fillings from our West Auckland team can protect your tooth cavity from further decay. Our dentists will remove the decay, prepare the damaged tooth, and seal it with a special resin for protection.

If you think you may have tooth decay, it’s important to seek a formal diagnosis from your dentist. Our Comprehensive Dental Care services can identify and treat the signs of tooth decay for you.

How Do Fillings Protect against Tooth Decay?

If your tooth has already been damaged by decay, a tooth filling is an easy and safe treatment option. The process for a tooth filling has two basic steps:

Remove decay from the tooth cavity – our professional dentists will remove the decay from your tooth while you’re under a general anaesthetic. We will then prepare the tooth for your new filling
Filling the cavity – your filling is made from a range of specialised materials depending on your needs. The filling will be placed in the prepared tooth in order to seal it, protect it from further decay and give you all the benefits of a healthy tooth

Generally speaking, tooth fillings are very fast and efficient procedures, taking less than half an hour. After you’ve recovered from the general anaesthetic, you will be able to return to all your normal daily activities.

Inside Your New Filling – What Is It Made of?

Dental fillings will often be made of a composite, tooth-coloured material. Composite fillings ensure natural results for the patient. There is a range of other materials available for tooth fillings. The best option for you will depend on the type of tooth being treated, the level of damage, as well as your overall budget. Our dentists will guide you through the entire process to ensure you make the best personal decision.

Long-Term Care for Teeth Fillings

Most fillings can be treated just like your natural teeth, and any special care instructions or products will be explained after the procedure.

In the long term, your fillings may last up to 10 years, depending on the type of material you opt for. Some less durable fillings will need replacing sooner.

Testimonials

I first went to Titirangi dental in Feb 2022 with a terrible tooth ache. Luke and the team not only helped me get that tooth back to good health but have worked closely with me on gum issues since. I like that Luke talks me through each step before, during and after which helps me stay informed. I also appreciate the they provide options for treatment. I avoided dentists for my whole adult life to my own detriment. Each time I went in, it left me not feeling the best and they didn’t take a holistic approach but that has changed now.

      I am really happy with Titirangi Dental. A couple of years ago I changed from a dentist in town I have been to for decades because his practice got taken over by  when he retired. Dr Luke at Titirangi dentist is a wonderful find. Very very happy with his work and recommendations. Plus he doesn’t try to sell me extra stuff… like Lumio was doing. And my hygienist Glodie Biladi is fabulous and thorough with such a sunny personality that almost makes having my teeth cleaned fun.

      My experience at Titirangi dental is always impressive. Even late on a Friday afternoons their professionalism is on top form. I get treated as an important person of significance. They value each individual with such friendly approach which had me relax more. No tricks or upselling just honest focus on what needs attention and a good sense of being taken care of when leaving. Their fabulous reputation most certainly stands on strong foundations thats for sure. I personally wouldnt want to go anywhere else their team from reception to surgeon is too good. I can put my hand on heart and recommend this five star practice as I do. Go for it! You'd be hard pushed to find better me thinks!
