What kind of dental fillings do you offer?
The filling materials used depends on the extent of tooth decay and damage. Amalgam or mercury fillings don’t bond to the teeth as well as other fillings do, which can leave the tooth open to further damage and cracking. Therefore incorporate modern materials, like composite or porcelain fillings, that better protect the tooth from further cracking and blend in with the tooth’s colour and shape.

What if I have too much tooth decay?
Sometimes the cavity is too large, or the damage is too much for a typical inlay filling. Our friendly staff does a full assessment with photos and a personalised plan before we begin work, so we are prepared for any scenario. If a nerve is injured, we can perform a root canal. Often, this procedure makes a patient feel anxiety, but the dentists at Bacchus Marsh Dental utilise the latest advancements in pain-free dentistry to ensure you remain comfortable and at ease. Once the root canal is complete, we then build up any remaining tooth with porcelain or composite restorations. We keep you informed so that, together, we use the best procedure for the situation. And because we use the latest methods and equipment, not only is your visit comfortable, but will be done with minimal downtime.
