Dental Fillings Bundoora
At Radiant Smiles Dental Bundoora, we provide high-quality tooth-coloured dental fillings to repair cavities, restore tooth structure, and protect your smile. Using durable, natural-looking composite resin, our fillings blend seamlessly with your teeth while supporting long-term oral health.
Restore Your Teeth with Tooth-Coloured Fillings
Dental fillings are one of the most common restorative treatments used to treat tooth decay or minor damage. Left untreated, cavities can worsen over time and may lead to pain, infection, or the need for more complex treatment. At Radiant Smiles Dental Bundoora, we offer white (composite) fillings that match the natural shade of your teeth, restoring strength and aesthetics.
Our gentle approach means most fillings can be completed in one visit, with minimal discomfort. Whether you need a new filling or wish to replace old metal amalgam fillings, we’re here to help.
We proudly welcome patients from Bundoora and nearby areas including Reservoir, Thomastown, Greensborough, Eltham, Watsonia, Macleod, Mill Park, Lalor, Rosanna, and beyond.

What to Expect During Your Filling Appointment
1. Examination and Diagnosis
We begin with a thorough check-up and digital X-rays to identify the area of decay or damage.
2. Tooth Preparation
The decayed portion of the tooth is gently removed and the area is cleaned to prevent bacteria from remaining.
3. Composite Resin Placement
A tooth-coloured resin is applied in layers, carefully shaped, and hardened using a special light. Once set, the filling is polished for a smooth, natural finish.
