Temporary Filling Melbourne, Victoria

You can have your silver fillings replaced with tooth-colored restorations (onlays). This process requires two appointments. Your First Appointment: The old filling is removed along with any additional decay. An impression is made of your teeth. A model of your teeth is made and sent to the lab. A temporary onlay is placed on the tooth. At the Lab: A resin is carefully placed into the model of your teeth. It is then designed to look natural. Your Second Appointment: The temporary onlay is removed. A conditioning gel is placed on your tooth to prepare it for the new onlay. Bonding cement is placed on the tooth and a high intensity light bonds the resin to the tooth. The tooth is then polished.

The implants are tiny titanium posts which are placed into the jawbone where teeth are missing. The bone bonds with the titanium, creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth. In addition, dental implants can help preserve facial structure, preventing the bone deterioration which occurs when teeth are missing.
