Dental Fillings in Lower Hutt

Tooth decay (cavities) is a serious and very common dental condition that, if left untreated, can worsen over time. If left untreated, it can become a serious threat to your oral hygiene and be very painful. Dental fillings can be used to treat the decayed area and help restore your tooth’s function.

A composite posterior restoration is a procedure used to fill in spaces or holes in teeth created by a cavity or other tooth damage. The process is designed to restore the tooth as closely as possible back to its original strength and durability.

Hutt Dental Hub Can Restore Your Teeth

The latest composite fillings (white fillings) have improved enormously over the years and have now replaced silver mercury fillings, and at Hutt Dental Hub, we use quality, up-to-date materials and techniques for our patients.

We use materials that are coloured to match your tooth. Fillings are completed in a single visit, so you don’t have to spend several days waiting to restore your teeth’s function. Your dentist will remove any decay and restore the tooth’s shape and function as closely as possible.

For patients who have teeth with little or no sound supporting structure or have a heavy bite, or are grinders, an alternative would be to place a ceramic restoration on this tooth to provide greater structural support and protection.

We aim to help restore the appearance and function of your teeth and support your ongoing oral health. We offer gentle and effective treatments for all your fillings. Suitability, timelines, risks, costs, and outcomes vary and will be discussed during consultation.
