Dental Fillings
Dental Fillings at Diggers Rest, Caroline Springs, Hillside, Taylors Lake and Sydenham
Dental fillings are a common type of tooth restoration used to fill a hole in a tooth. The hole, or cavity, is caused by decay and can destroy your tooth if left untreated. But our dentists at Diggers Rest Dental House will clean the cavity, stop the spread of infection and decay and then fill it with your choice of material to restore the function of your tooth.
Tooth decay is a common dental problem and may arise for many reason. Poor diet may be the most common factor while lack of daily hygiene habits like brushing and flossing are also prevalent. Genetics may play a role, making enamel more prone to cavities, while teeth grinding can increase your risk of cavities by grinding the enamel, making it thinner and more susceptible to cavities.
Our team of dental professionals at Diggers Rest Dental House offer the best materials to fill dental cavities. We can also provide inlays, onlays or dental crowns if the damage is too great for a filling. When you come for a dental exam, we will do a full evaluation of your oral health and determine the extent of damage to your tooth so we can offer the best treatment to restore your tooth.
