A cavity doesn’t have to mean a big deal. At Smile Connections, our fillings use tooth-coloured composite resin, not old-style metal, so once it’s in place, the repair is barely noticeable. It’s the treatment we do most often, because catching decay early usually means a straightforward, single visit fix rather than something more involved down the track. Beyond new cavities, fillings also cover replacing old amalgam or discoloured restorations, and rebuilding a tooth that’s chipped or worn.

Every appointment starts with a proper look at the tooth, digital x-rays included, so we know exactly what we’re dealing with before any drilling starts. Local anaesthetic keeps things comfortable, and most fillings are done and finished within the same visit. Our Ivanhoe team will walk you through what’s happening at each step, so nothing catches you off guard.
