When direct dental fillings are tailored to accommodate an individual's unique tooth anatomy, they aim to support the remaining structural integrity and essential chewing function. Our practitioners at Bond St provide customised composite restorations to address clinical concerns such as localised decay, minor enamel fractures, or compromised existing fillings, with the intent of sealing the affected tooth and assisting in the preservation of the natural dentition.
Our clinical team provides professional support and clear communication throughout the treatment process, from the initial diagnostic consultation to the preparation and final placement stages.

The longevity of any dental restoration depends on individual biological factors, daily oral hygiene practices, and the natural biting forces applied to the tooth. While materials are selected for their clinical durability, fillings are subject to wear over time and may eventually require replacement.
Common indicators of dental decay include localised toothache, sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures, discomfort when chewing, or visible structural defects. However, some early-stage decay presents no immediate symptoms. A definitive diagnosis requires a professional clinical examination.
Maintenance involves rigorous daily oral hygiene practices, including twice-daily brushing, regular flossing, and attending scheduled professional check-ups. Avoiding excessively hard objects can also assist in protecting the structural integrity of the restoration.
Composite resin and porcelain materials can be carefully shade-matched by your practitioner to blend with the surrounding natural dentition. While designed to integrate closely with your tooth, no restorative material is entirely imperceptible under all lighting conditions.
Yes, existing amalgam fillings can be replaced with composite resin or porcelain alternatives if they are structurally compromised, exhibiting recurrent decay, or if the patient prefers a tooth-coloured option. Your practitioner will evaluate the tooth to ensure replacement is clinically appropriate.
