A LITTLE UNDERSTANDING
A considered approach to repairing a tooth.
A filling repairs a cavity in a tooth. The dentist first assesses the extent of the damage and whether a filling is a suitable option. Filling materials differ, and the recommendation depends on the tooth, the size of the repair and your clinical needs.
Your consultation, step by step
- 01
Assess the tooth
Describe any symptoms and discuss the examination findings with the dentist.
- 02
Discuss the repair
Ask which material is suitable, how the tooth will be prepared and what comfort measures may be used.
- 03
Understand aftercare
Discuss eating, sensitivity, the bite and any follow-up advice for your particular repair.
A filling is not suitable for every damaged tooth. An examination is needed before deciding on the treatment.
YOUR QUESTIONS
A few things to know.
Can an old filling be checked?
Yes. When booking, mention that you have an existing filling you would like assessed.
Which filling material will be used?
This depends on the tooth and clinical needs. Ask about the options available at your consultation.
Can you tell me the cost before a visit?
Contact the clinic for current pricing information. A treatment estimate depends on what the assessment finds.
