A Cavity Left Untreated Always Gets More Expensive

What is a simple filling today becomes a root canal and crown if ignored — Richmond Dental Care treats decay early, in a single appointment, using tooth-coloured composite that blends with your natural smile.

What Dental Fillings Is

What Dental Fillings Is

A dental filling is a restorative procedure that removes decayed or damaged tooth material and fills the resulting space with a durable material to restore the tooth’s shape, function, and strength.

Tooth-Coloured Composite

Composite resin matched precisely to your natural tooth shade — a virtually invisible restoration.

Less Tooth Removal

Composite bonds directly to tooth structure, allowing us to preserve more healthy enamel than amalgam fillings.

Single-Visit Treatment

Most fillings are completed in one appointment under local anaesthetic.

Replaces Old Amalgam Fillings

We can replace existing silver fillings with tooth-coloured composite for both aesthetic and functional improvement.

Shaping, Polishing & Bite Check

What Happens When a Cavity Is Left Untreated

Decay progresses through four stages — the earlier it’s treated, the simpler and less costly the resolution.

Stage 1 — Enamel: Simple Filling

Caught at this stage, treatment is a 30–45 minute filling — the least invasive and least expensive option.

Stage 2 — Dentin: Larger Filling

Still a filling, but the restoration will be larger. More involved but straightforward.

Stage 3 — Pulp: Root Canal Required

Decay reaching the nerve requires root canal therapy before any restoration — significantly more time and cost.

Stage 4 — Abscess: Dental Emergency

An abscessed tooth is a dental emergency with infection that can spread. Extraction may be the only remaining option.
