Dental fillings
Fillings may be required when small holes appear on a tooth (or multiple teeth). Some are hidden from plain sight between teeth, which is why regular check ups and x-rays are so important.
Our team of clinicians will walk you through the process, offer sedation treatments when required and restore your teeth with the utmost care and precision.
Need to know:
We’ll determine which type of filling will be most suitable for your needs.
Ceramic fillings are perfect for replacing larger areas of missing or damaged tooth structure. Their appearance is highly aesthetic and beautifully imitate the appearance of a natural tooth. They’re often used to upgrade and replace old amalgam fillings, broken teeth and cracked teeth. They are strong, durable and last for approximately 20 years.
Composite fillings are similarly aesthetically discreet and are suitable to restore small fillings. We don’t offer amalgam fillings at Dental Lounge, as they have been proven to impact the natural tooth surface.
Duration: Fillings vary depending on the type of dental restoration required, however small composite dental fillings can be completed within an hour.
Comfort is not a word you’d normally associate with the dental filling procedure, but our goal is to make fillings as efficient and relaxing as possible. Our level of care is unparalleled, and we’ll work closely with you throughout the process.
If a large part of tooth structure requires restoration, ceramic dental fillings will lend excellent longevity to your teeth.
We use the latest technology to scan and measure each tooth, which is then used to create a porcelain design that is fully customised to fit your teeth.
Composite fillings achieve a similarly excellent aesthetic result and consist of a non-toxic resin material that sets instantly with light curing.
During your appointment, we use an automatic digital delivery system to administer your anaesthetic, making the process more comfortable, so you can sit back and relax during your appointment.

The benefits of dental fillings
Getting a dental filling may seem like a small procedure, but it plays a big role in protecting your long-term oral health. At Dental Lounge, we use high-quality composite and ceramic fillings to restore your tooth’s strength, appearance and function with precision and care.
With dental fillings, you can preserve your natural teeth and maintain a healthy, functional smile by:
- Stopping the spread of decay — Fillings remove and seal off damaged areas, preventing cavities from worsening.
- Strengthening tooth structure — By filling weakened areas, they help reinforce and protect your natural tooth.
- Restoring natural appearance and function — Modern composite fillings blend seamlessly and allow you to bite, chew and speak as usual.
- Prevent more invasive treatments — Early intervention with a filling can help you avoid root canal therapy or tooth loss down the line.
Signs you may need a dental filling
Not all cavities are visible or painful at first — which is why it’s important to know the signs that you may need a dental filling. Acting early can help prevent small issues from turning into larger, more complex dental restorations. Here are some common symptoms to look out for:
- Sensitivity to hot or cold drinks
- Visible holes, small pits and groves or dark spots and discolouration
- Toothache or discomfort when chewing
- Cracked or chipped teeth
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, we recommend booking a consultation to prevent further damage and avoid more involved treatments like crowns or root canals.
Ceramic vs composite fillings
Both ceramic and composite fillings are excellent options, but they serve different needs. Here’s a quick breakdown to help you understand the difference:
- Aesthetics — Composite fillings are tooth-coloured and blend well with natural teeth. On the other hand, ceramic fillings are highly lifelike and best for a seamless, enamel-like finish.
- Durability — While all expertly placed fillings should last several years, ceramic fillings have a longer lifespan, lasting up to 20 years or more.
- Cost — Composite fillings are generally more affordable up front, but may require more upkeep and replacements compared to ceramic ones.
- Recommended use — Composite fillings are ideal for small to medium cavities, while many dentists may recommend ceramic fillings for larger restorations or replacing old, cracked fillings.
What to expect after a filling
After your dental filling appointment at Dental Lounge, you’ll be able to return to your day with minimal interruption. Here’s what you can typically expect during recovery:
- Eating after your filling — If you received a composite filling, you can usually eat once the numbness wears off (typically within 1 to 2 hours). For ceramic fillings, your dentist will advise if extra caution is needed.
- Mild sensitivity is normal — It’s common to feel temporary sensitivity to temperature or pressure, especially when chewing. This usually resolves within a few days to a week.
- Know when to call — If you experience persistent pain, discomfort when biting down or the filling feels too high, contact us for a consultation and to schedule an adjustment.
- Caring for your filling long-term — Good oral hygiene is key. Brush and floss daily, avoid biting hard objects like ice or pens, and see your dentist regularly to maintain the health of your teeth fillings.

About root canal treatment
Root canal Sydney
Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic (endo- “inside”, odont- “tooth”) treatment, is a procedure where the dentist removes an infected or dead nerve tissue in a tooth to treat an abscess. Root canal therapy not only gets you out of pain but also keeps you out of pain.
The dental pulp is the soft centre of the tooth that contains nerves and blood vessels. It is a connective tissue that extends to the bottom of the tooth through the canals and is responsible for regulating the growth and development of the tooth during childhood. Also, it is responsible for providing oxygen, nutrients, dentin formation and sensory function. When the tooth is fully formed, nutrition comes from the surrounding jaw bone and associated tissues.
Root canal pain symptoms
This dental pulp can be damaged or dead. Depending on the cause, the damage to the pulp can be so severe that the nerve will gradually die. There are several reasons for this: untreated decay, trauma, bruxism, cracked tooth, or irritation. Usually, people experience severe pain when biting and chewing, sensitivity to cold and heat, darkening of the tooth, swollen and tender gums, facial swelling, or loose teeth. Other people may have damaged or dead pulp and have no root canal symptoms. If this is your case, dentists may discover that you need root canal therapy from X-rays or if the gum is swelling near the affected tooth. Hence, the importance of regular visits to the dentist.
How much does a root canal cost?
Root canal therapy cost varies, depending on the number of canals to be treated and if you need a crown. Book your complimentary consultation to discuss your dental needs.
FAQs
A dental filling is a common dental restoration used to repair teeth that have been damaged by decay, fractures or wear. The filling material is used to “fill in” the cavity or damaged area to restore the tooth’s normal shape, function and strength. At Dental Lounge, we offer both composite fillings and ceramic options to provide long-lasting, natural-looking results.
The lifespan of teeth fillings depends on the material used, the location of the tooth and your oral hygiene. Composite fillings can last anywhere from 5 to 10 years, while ceramic fillings may last up to 20 years with proper care. Regular dental check-ups will help ensure the longevity of your filling.
The best type of dental filling depends on the size and location of the damage, as well as your aesthetic preferences. Composite fillings are ideal for small to medium restorations and are colour-matched to your teeth. Ceramic fillings are often recommended for larger restorations due to their strength and durability.
Rest assured, our dentists will assess your needs and recommend the most suitable option during your visit.
At Dental Lounge, we strive to make every dental filling experience as comfortable as possible. We use computer-controlled anaesthetic delivery to ensure precise numbing with minimal discomfort. If you feel anxious about dental procedures, we also offer sleep dentistry options to help you feel at ease during treatment.
For very shallow or minor composite fillings, some patients may not require numbing. However, your comfort is our priority and your dentist will discuss the best approach based on the extent of the restoration and your sensitivity. Sedation options are also available for a completely relaxed experience.
You can usually eat soon after a composite filling, as it hardens instantly with light curing. However, it’s best to wait until the numbness wears off to avoid accidentally biting your cheek or tongue. For ceramic fillings or larger restorations, your dentist will provide specific aftercare instructions.
The cost of teeth fillings depends on the size of the cavity, the type of material used and the complexity of the dental restoration. During your consultation, we’ll provide a tailored quote and discuss your options.
