Repair cavities, protect damaged teeth, and achieve a natural, strong smile with our expert, discreet white fillings. Transparent costs & flexible payment options.
White fillings, also known as composite or tooth-colored fillings, are the modern solution for restoring teeth damaged by decay or minor fractures. Made from a durable composite resin material, they are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural tooth structure, offering both functional strength and aesthetic appeal.
Our experienced dentists in Rockhampton ensure your tooth filling procedure is comfortable, efficient, and performed with the highest standard of care. What to expect during your appointment:
We'll assess the affected tooth and cavity using digital X-rays if necessary, discussing the best course of action.
A local anesthetic will be applied to numb the area, ensuring you feel no pain during the procedure. We also offer calming sedation options for anxious patients.
The decayed portion of the tooth is carefully and precisely removed.
The tooth surface is prepared, and the composite resin is applied in layers, with each layer hardened by a special light. This process creates a strong bond with your natural tooth.
Our dentist meticulously shapes the filling to match the natural contours of your tooth and ensure a comfortable bite, then polishes it for a smooth, natural finish.
The procedure is typically quick and straightforward, allowing you to return to your daily routine with minimal disruption.

White (composite) fillings are made from a tooth-colored resin that bonds directly to the tooth, offering a natural appearance. Silver (amalgam) fillings are made from a metal alloy, are visibly silver, and don’t bond to the tooth in the same way. White fillings are generally preferred for aesthetics and preserving more tooth structure.
White fillings are excellent for small to medium-sized cavities. For very large cavities or extensive damage, your dentist might recommend other options like dental inlays, onlays, or full dental crowns, which provide greater strength and protection.
A typical appointment involves numbing the area, carefully removing the decayed tooth material, cleaning the cavity, applying the white filling material in layers, hardening each layer with a special light, and finally shaping and polishing the filling for a perfect fit.
Many private health insurance “extras” policies cover a percentage of dental filling costs. We can process your claim on the spot. It’s always best to check with your individual health fund for specifics on your coverage.
The procedure is generally not painful. We use a local anesthetic to numb the tooth and surrounding area completely before we begin. You might feel some pressure, but no sharp pain. We also offer sedation options for patients with dental anxiety.
With good oral hygiene and regular dental checkups, white fillings can typically last 5 to 10 years, or even longer. Their lifespan can vary depending on factors like location in the mouth, biting forces, and your dietary habits.
Yes, white fillings are an excellent choice for front teeth due to their superior aesthetic qualities. They can be precisely matched to your tooth shade, ensuring a seamless and natural-looking repair for visible areas.
It’s common to experience some mild sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures for a few days or weeks after a filling, especially if the cavity was deep. This usually subsides on its own. If sensitivity persists or is severe, please contact us.
