If you have tooth decay, a chipped tooth or minor tooth damage, a dental filling may be recommended to restore your tooth. At Mydental, we’ll assess your oral health and recommend treatment based on your individual needs.

We’ll provide guidance on caring for your restored tooth and recommend regular dental check-ups to monitor your oral health.

The lifespan of a filling varies depending on the material used, the location of the filling, your oral hygiene and everyday habits.
We welcome patients with or without private health insurance and are happy to provide written treatment plans and fee estimates before treatment begins, helping you make informed decisions about your dental care. Most health fund claims can be processed on the spot through HICAPS, and clear communication and informed consent are part of every appointment.
