About Dental Fillings
For small, conservative fillings we use Composite Resins which are tooth-coloured. Larger fillings can sometimes be made of porcelain, a more durable tooth coloured option that may be a better for certain situations. Dr Karishma will assess your teeth and advise you of the options are that best for your teeth.
We rebuild the anatomy of your tooth, preserving the existing healthy enamel. Each filling is carefully matched to the adjacent tooth , blending in naturally to create the appearance of a full, healthy tooth that won’t discolour over time.
-
Check up and clean
Any decay will be removed and your mouth will be numbed using a local anaesthetic to lessen discomfort
-
Fillings are placed
A composite filling is placed in your tooth in layers. The layers will be gradually built up to fill the hole
-
Photo-polymerization
Ultraviolet light is used to cure the filling in place. This hardens each layer, so that the next layer can be placed

About Dr Karishma
I’ve lived in Ballarat since 2006, serving the people of Ballarat in my own practice for over a decade.
I have worked under the mentorship of industry-leading dentists in both small and large practices, helping to restore my patient’s smiles.
Since graduating 19 years ago, I have fallen in love with the combination of providing healthcare while meticulously planning the finer details of smile makeovers and orthodontics, and truly enjoy the artistic elements of designing new smiles for my patients.
At the end of the day, my goal is to help my patients achieve great outcomes, in an environment that is safe, empowering, and judgement-free.
And I’d love to help you too.
