Dental Fillings in Brisbane
One of the most common services, fillings are restorations that repair and rebuild teeth harmed by cavities. After removing the damaged portion of the tooth, the filling seals out bacteria and protects the tooth so that it can function normally.

White Fillings—the Healthy Choice
Although amalgam fillings have been used for decades, this “metal” or “silver” alloy contains around 50% mercury—one of the most toxic elements found on the periodic table. At our Brisbane clinic, we use BPA-free composite or CEREC hybrid ceramic when fillings are required. We can also safely remove your old amalgam fillings and replace them with healthier and safer white fillings.
Safe Amalgam Filling Removal
We provide maximum safety in the removal of mercury fillings, based on recommendations of the International Academy of Biological Dentistry and Medicine (IABDM), and the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT).
Patients get their amalgam fillings removed for many reasons. Many are concerned with the health effects of the mercury in these fillings and galvanism, while others have new decay around or under the amalgam fillings, and some simply don’t like the look of the silver. These silver fillings also tend to expand and contract differently than your tooth structure based on temperature changes, thus they tend to crack or split the surrounding tooth.
At Excellence in Dentistry, we only use BPA-free composite material.
