Dental Fillings
Repair small areas of damage and protect your teeth with natural-looking dental fillings at Robina Quays Dental Care. Our approach is gentle, effective, and focused on long-term oral health.
Treatment to Protect Your Smile
Dental fillings are one of the most common and effective ways to treat tooth decay or restore a chipped tooth. By sealing the affected area, we help prevent further damage while preserving your natural tooth structure.
We use tooth-coloured composite materials that blend seamlessly with your teeth. Whether you’re replacing an old filling or treating a new cavity, our focus is on comfort, function, and a natural finish.
What We Offer
Tooth-Coloured Composite Fillings
Aesthetic and durable, these fillings match the shade of your teeth for a natural appearance.
Replacement of Old Fillings
We can remove outdated or worn fillings and replace them with modern materials.
Minor Tooth Repairs
Fillings can also restore small chips or cracks in teeth without invasive procedures.
Preventive Assessments
We check for early signs of decay so fillings can be done before bigger problems develop.
Why Fillings Matter
Dental fillings are essential for treating decay early and protecting the rest of your tooth from damage. Left untreated, even a small cavity can grow larger, lead to pain or sensitivity, and eventually require a root canal or extraction. Early intervention keeps treatment simple and affordable.

About Composite Fillings
We use composite resin, a material made from a mix of acrylic and fine glass particles. It bonds to the tooth and blends in naturally with your smile. Composite is ideal for small to medium repairs, especially in areas where appearance matters. It also helps preserve more of your natural tooth structure, since less drilling is needed compared to older metal fillings.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to our most asked Dental Fillings questions
Still have questions?
How do I know if I need a filling?
You may feel sensitivity or discomfort, or we may spot early decay during your check-up.
Is getting a filling painful?
We use local anaesthetic when needed and check in throughout the procedure.
How long does a filling last?
Composite fillings can last many years with good oral hygiene and regular check-ups.
Are tooth-coloured fillings strong?
Yes. They’re designed to be both durable and aesthetic for everyday use.
Can you replace metal fillings with white ones?
Absolutely. We offer replacement of older fillings with composite materials.
What if I ignore a small cavity?
Untreated decay can worsen and lead to more complex dental work. Early treatment is best.
Will the filling be noticeable?
No. We colour-match the material to your tooth so it blends in naturally.
Do I need to avoid eating after a filling?
Composite fillings harden quickly, but we’ll let you know if any care is needed right after your appointment.
How do composite fillings compare to other types?
Composite fillings match your natural tooth colour and bond directly to the tooth surface. Compared to silver fillings, they usually require less drilling and offer a more natural look. While metal fillings may last longer in some back teeth, composite is a great option for most small to medium restorations.
Can composite fillings stain over time?
Yes, they can stain slightly over time, especially with frequent exposure to coffee, tea, red wine, or tobacco. Regular dental cleans help reduce staining and keep your fillings looking fresh.
What if my old filling falls out?
If a filling comes loose or falls out, call us as soon as possible. Delaying treatment can lead to further decay or sensitivity. We’ll assess the area and repair or replace the filling as needed.
How do I know if a filling needs to be replaced?
You might notice sensitivity, pain when chewing, or visible wear. During your check-ups, we check all your restorations and let you know if anything needs attention.
