Mercury-Free Tooth Fillings in Bentleigh

When Is a Filling Needed?

A filling may be recommended when a tooth has been affected by:

• Tooth decay (cavities)
• Chipped or fractured teeth
• Tooth wear
• Worn or damaged existing fillings

Treating these issues early can help prevent further damage and reduce the need for more extensive treatment in the future.

Why We Use White Fillings

At New Millennium Dental, we use white composite fillings because they offer several advantages:

• Natural-looking appearance
• Matched to the colour of your teeth
• Mercury-free
• Strong and durable

Because composite fillings bond directly to the tooth, they can often preserve more healthy tooth structure compared to some traditional filling materials.

What Happens During Treatment?

Most fillings can be completed in a single appointment.

Treatment generally involves:

1. Removing the damaged or decayed portion of the tooth.
2. Cleaning and preparing the area.
3. Placing the white filling material.
4. Shaping and polishing the filling for a natural appearance and comfortable bite.

Our focus is always on restoring the tooth while maintaining your comfort throughout treatment.

Are Fillings Always the Best Option?

Not always.

If a tooth has extensive damage, significant decay, or structural weakness, other Dtreatments, such as crowns or indirect restorations, may provide a more predictable long-term solution.

We will explain all suitable treatment options and recommend the approach that best supports your long-term oral health.
