Dental Fillings in Mildura

Getting Your Filling

Having a tooth filled at Tankard Dental is simple and straightforward. Please know that we’ll do everything we can to keep you comfortable. While you might feel nervous initially, we can assure you that your needs will be met.

We’ll begin the treatment by applying a desensitising gel onto the gums that are next to the affected tooth or teeth. Then, we’ll administer a local anaesthetic that will totally numb the area we’re about to fill-don’t worry, and the numbness will wear off in just a few short hours.

Next, we’ll clean out the cavity with a small handheld tool. Once we’ve removed it all, we’ll shape a composite white filling that’s colour-matched to your tooth and insert it. We’ll then seal the composite with a bright light so that it’s flush with your tooth.

When all is done, you won’t even be able to notice that anything was done to your tooth- it will look entirely natural but feel much better as the pain will be gone. The entire process may take anywhere from 30 minutes to one hour, depending on your unique case.
