Dental fillings in Toowoomba
Fillings restore teeth affected by decay or damage, rebuilding the tooth's structure and function and helping prevent further problems.
When you might need a filling
Fillings treat cavities caused by decay, and repair teeth that are chipped, cracked or worn. Common signs include sensitivity to hot, cold or sweet foods, a visible hole or dark spot, or a rough edge you can feel with your tongue — though early decay often has no symptoms at all, which is why regular check-ups matter.
Filling materials we offer
We offer a range of filling materials to suit different teeth and budgets, including tooth-coloured composite resin that blends with your natural tooth, as well as porcelain and other options where appropriate. We'll recommend the material best suited to the tooth being treated and explain the trade-offs clearly.
How much does a filling cost in Toowoomba?
As a guide, our tooth-coloured composite fillings are $290–$320 for a small filling, $386–$410 for a medium, and $480–$600 for a large — the range within each size reflects how many surfaces of the tooth are involved. Before any filling is placed, we'll examine the tooth and give you a written quote with the exact figure, so there are no surprises. See the full pricing guide for health fund item codes to quote to your fund.
Frequently asked questions
Does getting a filling hurt?
We use local anaesthetic to numb the area and take care to keep you comfortable throughout. If you're anxious about dental treatment, tell us — supporting anxious patients is something we take real pride in.
How much does a filling cost in Toowoomba?
Cost depends on the size of the filling and the material used. We'll give you clear pricing before treatment begins, and payment plans from $20 a week are available.
How long do fillings last?
It varies with the material, the size of the filling and how you care for your teeth — many fillings last for years. We check your existing fillings at every examination.
Can old silver fillings be replaced with tooth-coloured ones?
Often, yes. If an old amalgam filling is worn or you'd prefer a tooth-coloured restoration, we can assess the tooth and discuss replacement options with you.
