Composite Fillings and Bondings in Perth

Woman at dentist

Even if you practice good oral hygiene, cavities can still happen—but they don’t have to impact your health long term. At Image Dental, we provide high-quality fillings and bondings to fix your teeth, without making you worry about your health as a whole. Cavities don’t have to be a major setback.

We look beyond the individual tooth to consider your overall oral, wellness, and life goals. By addressing every aspect of dental and whole body health, we take any opportunity we can get to make sure you’re thriving.

Protecting and Repairing Teeth

When you have a cavity, plaque has eroded a small portion of your tooth and left a hole behind. This gives bacteria the perfect place to hide, putting you at risk of further decay and bigger oral issues with time.
NEW Patients

Fillings and bondings respond to the problem by sealing up the affected portion of the tooth to protect it and restore it to full functioning. Dr Michael Chong (Dentist) always starts by removing any damaged portions of the tooth and providing a thorough cleaning. After that, he’ll restore your tooth and give it the support and strength it needs, so you can eat, drink, and speak like normal.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between a composite filling and a traditional metal (amalgam) filling?

Composite fillings are made from a tooth-coloured resin that bonds directly to the tooth, rather than a silver-coloured metal mixture. Their natural appearance is one advantage, and the bonding process may also allow more healthy tooth structure to be preserved than some traditional filling methods. Dr Chong will recommend the most suitable material based on your individual needs.

Is getting a filling a painful process?

Local anaesthetic is used to help keep you comfortable throughout the procedure, and many patients find the process straightforward with only mild discomfort afterwards. Everyone’s experience is different, so we’ll check in with you throughout your appointment.

How long can I expect a composite filling to last?

With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, composite fillings can last many years, though lifespan depends on the size of the filling, its location in the mouth, and how it’s cared for. We’ll keep an eye on it at your regular visits and let you know if it ever needs attention.

How do I know if I need a filling?

Some cavities cause noticeable sensitivity or visible discolouration, but many early-stage cavities have no symptoms at all, which is exactly why regular check-ups and X-rays matter. If you’re not due for a check-up, that’s the best next step before assuming treatment is needed.

Providing Natural Options

We provide composite, or white, fillings that don’t contain any metal. This natural option is affordable and less invasive than metal. It blends perfectly with your teeth, so no one can tell you had any work done at all.
