Tooth decay is common, but easily treated with a high-quality, tooth-coloured filling. At Blackall Terrace Dental in Nambour, we remove decay gently and restore the tooth with a strong, natural-looking material — all in a calm and supportive setting. It’s quick, effective treatment that protects your long-term oral health.
What Is a Dental Filling?
A filling is a simple treatment used to repair a tooth that has been damaged by decay. The decayed portion is removed, and the space is filled with a durable material - often tooth-coloured composite - that restores the tooth’s shape and function. At Blackall Terrace Dental, we offer comfortable, long-lasting fillings in the heart of Nambour.
How Do I Know If I Need a Filling for a Cavity or Tooth Damage?
Tooth sensitivity, pain when biting, or visible holes or dark spots can all be signs you need a filling. Sometimes, small areas of decay are only detectable on X-rays or during an exam - which is why regular check-ups are so important. Left untreated, cavities can worsen and require more complex care like a crown or root canal.

At Blackall Terrace Dental, your experienced dentist in Nambour, dental fillings are a routine but important treatment for repairing decayed, damaged, or worn teeth. Your visit begins with a detailed assessment of the affected tooth, often supported by X-rays or digital imaging to determine the extent of decay and plan the best approach.
Once we’ve confirmed that a filling is needed, we numb the area using local anaesthetic to ensure complete comfort throughout the procedure. Our dentists gently remove any decay and thoroughly clean the cavity to prepare it for restoration.
We then place a tooth-coloured composite resin that bonds securely to the tooth structure. This material is carefully shaped and polished to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, restoring strength, function, and appearance, often in just one appointment.
Before you leave, we’ll check your bite and make any necessary adjustments to ensure the filling feels natural and comfortable. Our team will also provide personalised aftercare instructions to help you maintain your results and avoid further decay.
With proper oral hygiene and regular visits to your Sunshine Coast dentist, your dental fillings can last for many years, keeping your smile healthy and confident.
