How can we help you?
We firmly believe that there is no such thing as a silly question, so we welcome any and all of them from our patients. For your convenience, we have included some of these that we regularly hear on this page. But if your question isn’t answered, please give us a call or bring it to your next scheduled dental booking.
We look forward to helping educate you on your oral health.
Tooth-Coloured Fillings
Tooth-coloured fillings are durable options for eliminating tooth decay and cavities that blend flawlessly with your tooth, so they're not noticeable. Many patients prefer tooth-coloured fillings over metal fillings since they offer excellent durability and aesthetics.
Tooth-Coloured Fillings in Mirrabooka
Made from minuscule glass and plastic particles, our dentists can customise composite resin to match your teeth and complement your smile. They bond the material directly to your tooth, which gives it strength and durability. Composite resin fillings can last for about seven to ten years when you take good care of them with regular brushing, flossing, and checkups with your Mirrabooka dentist.
Metal fillings react to temperature changes in your mouth, causing them to expand and contract and pull away from your tooth, allowing bacteria back into your tooth. They also require our dentists to remove more tooth structures than they do with composite fillings. So composite fillings will enable you to retain more of your natural tooth.
Cosmetic Issues Restored With Composite Resin
Our dentists can also use composite resin material to restore minor cosmetic issues like:
- Chipped teeth
- Tooth stains or discolouration
- Broken teeth
- Spaces or gaps between teeth
- Oddly shaped teeth
Through a treatment called dental bonding, composite resin can eliminate smile flaws and help you achieve your best smile.
At Western Smiles Dental Care, we understand the need to answer our patients’ questions and put their minds at ease BEFORE any dental procedure. Even if it’s a simple dental procedure such as a dental filling, dental anxiety can make what should be a stress-free visit feel very daunting.
That’s why Dr Duke and his team offer a complimentary phone call before any procedure for anyone who needs reassurance and additional information.
Instead of relying heavily on sedation, Dr Duke alleviates your dental fears by explaining the procedure and making you feel comfortable about what is going to happen.
Meet Benji, Our Therapy Dog
Another way we keep dental fillings and other treatments gentle and stress-free is by introducing you to Benji, our professionally trained therapy dog. Benji loves getting to know our patients, and he offers comfort, affection and support before, during and after your time with us.
