Dental fillings typically last for years, and you can wait for a routine appointment to replace one. However, if a problem arises, urgent dental treatment may be needed to restore the tooth.
Dental fillings prevent further decay in a tooth and provide a barrier against bacteria.
With a loose or defective filling, your tooth loses protection, risking deep infection and an abscess. This can be a serious health threat if the infection spreads. Affordable dental fillings help restore protection and prevent complications.
But there’s some good news.
Replacing a tooth filling is typically simpler than the procedure to place the original filling.
If you had an old amalgam (silver) filling, you can replace it with a composite (white) filling—a better aesthetic option, especially in visible areas of the mouth. This is a common choice in dental restorations.
If you find yourself in a dental emergency with a broken or dislodged filling, call Significant Smiles.

We offer Veteran, Pension Concession and Child Dental Benefits Schedule rebates.
We offer various competitive interest free payment plan options that will allow you to pay for your selected treatment in flexible installments.
The reason we numb your mouth as part of the filling process is that we must use a small drill to remove decayed tissue from inside the tooth. Without anaesthesia, you may feel some twinges of discomfort while that is happening.
It is best to avoid any hard, chewy, or sticky foods after a dental filling for up to two weeks. If you are experiencing tooth sensitivity you may also benefit from avoiding hot or cold drinks and foods. There is no need to wait to brush your teeth after a dental filling.
A composite filling hardens immediately once a dentist puts a blue UV light on your tooth. You can usually eat as soon as you leave your dentist’s office. However, your dentist may recommend waiting for at least 2 hours before chewing on the filling if you’re still numb.
