Sunshine Coast Tooth Fillings in Mooloolaba

For affordable Sunshine Coast tooth fillings make a dentist appointment at Mooloolaba Dental (formerly Fenton Dental) or Swell Dental by Mooloolaba Dental. Our dentists will have your tooth back in tip-top shape asap.

Our local dentists have been using the natural looking tooth coloured filling material in both front and back teeth since 1981. Patients generally prefer to have white tooth fillings rather than the silver amalgam fillings due to their natural appearance, even though the amalgam filling lasts longer than the white composite resin filling.

Should You Remove Old Amalgam Teeth Fillings?

As a highly experienced tooth filling dentist, our dental practice does not advise the removal of amalgam teeth fillings for health reasons unless there are rare chronic conditions that may indicate their removal is necessary. However, on some occasions, a dentist will decide it is appropriate to remove old, corroded and unsightly amalgam, at which time most people opt to replace them with white tooth fillings.

Whether having an amalgam filling replaced with a white tooth filling, or having brand new fillings put in, all our our Sunshine Coast tooth fillings are completed in a safe and controlled environment. Your comfort is paramount to us.

When is a Porcelain Crown Necessary?

Large amalgams or teeth that involve more than half of their bulk to be made up by tooth filling material need a stronger replacement such as a porcelain crown. If this turns out to be the case for you, then your tooth filling dentist will advise as such during your initial consultation.
