# White Fillings in Hobart and Launceston at Innova Dental

White fillings (tooth-coloured composite resin) at Innova Dental replace decayed tooth structure or old amalgam fillings with a material that matches the natural colour of your teeth. The result is a restoration that is virtually invisible and preserves more natural tooth structure than traditional amalgam fillings.

Innova Dental is a multiple award-winning practice, Tasmania's largest privately owned dental group, with over 1,000 five-star Google reviews and three locations across the state. We were the first practice in Launceston to offer CEREC same-day porcelain crowns and restorations.

## When Do You Need a Filling?

- **New cavities (tooth decay)** — white composite restores the tooth and matches its colour
- **Replacing old amalgam fillings** — many patients choose to replace dark metal fillings with tooth-coloured alternatives for aesthetic and health reasons
- **Chipped or worn teeth** — composite bonding can repair minor chips and wear
- **Cosmetic improvements** — composite can reshape teeth and close small gaps

## Built for Anxious Patients

If fillings make you nervous, you are welcome here. Innova Dental was built on caring for anxious patients. We offer anti-anxiety medication (our most popular option), happy gas (nitrous oxide), and stop signals so you are always in control. Our team has additional training in anxiety management and never rushes nervous patients.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How much do white fillings cost?**
White filling costs depend on the size and location of the cavity. We provide clear pricing at your consultation. Most health funds cover composite fillings under extras. Interest-free payment plans available.

**Are white fillings as strong as amalgam?**
Modern composite resins are durable and suitable for most fillings. For very large restorations or high-stress areas, your dentist may recommend a porcelain inlay, onlay, or CEREC crown for additional strength, all backed by our 5-year ceramic guarantee.

**Can I replace my amalgam fillings with white ones?**
Yes. Many patients choose to replace old amalgam fillings with tooth-coloured composite for aesthetic reasons. Your dentist will assess each filling and recommend the best approach.
