Biocompatible Restorations.

At Brisbane Smile Boutique, your comfort comes first.

Every treatment begins with a personalised plan and a gentle approach—using a topical gel before any local anaesthetic to ensure minimal discomfort.

We offer two types of restorations:

  • Direct restorations using tooth coloured composite fillings, completed in a single visit.

  • Indirect restorations made from high quality porcelain for enhanced strength, durability, and a natural appearance—ideal for larger or more complex repairs.

We do not use amalgam fillings, choosing instead health conscious, environmentally friendly materials that support both aesthetics and long term oral health.

Perfect Dental Restorations.

Composite resins are a modern, tooth coloured material used to repair cavities and broken teeth. They blend seamlessly with your natural Teeth, offering both Aesthetic appeal and functional strength.

Ideal when enough tooth structure remains, composite fillings bond well to the tooth and typically last around 5 years, depending on oral hygiene and bite pressure. Their placement requires precision and skill to ensure long term success.

For larger restorations, especially in back teeth, stronger options like porcelain restorations or crowns may be recommended for better durability.

Durable Restorations.

Porcelain Restorations are durable, natural looking solutions crafted outside the mouth and then bonded to the tooth. Ideal for restoring strength, function, and Aesthetics, they include:

  • Crowns – Cover the entire tooth for full protection and restoration.

  • Inlays – Fit inside the tooth to replace lost structure without affecting the cusps.

  • Onlays – Cover one or more cusps, offering a conservative alternative to full crowns.

Stain resistant and colour matched to your natural teeth, porcelain restorations offer long lasting, seamless results.

Experience and Artistry in Dentistry.

At Brisbane Smile Boutique, we offer modern, minimally invasive dental restorations designed to Restore both the Health and aesthetics of your smile. Whether it's a small filling or Crown, our treatments use advanced, tooth coloured materials like composite resin and porcelain for results that are durable, natural looking, and long lasting.

We take a personalised, comfort focused approach—ensuring every restoration supports your Dental health while blending seamlessly with your natural teeth.

  • Porcelain is a popular choice in both cosmetic and restorative dentistry thanks to its many advantages:

    1. Natural Appearance
      Porcelain closely mimics the colour and translucency of natural tooth enamel, delivering beautifully lifelike results.

    2. Long-Lasting Strength
      Highly durable, porcelain can withstand daily biting and chewing forces—making it ideal for long-term restorations.

    3. Stain Resistance
      Porcelain resists staining from coffee, tea, wine, and tobacco, helping your smile stay brighter for longer.

    4. Biocompatibility
      Gentle on the body, porcelain is safe and well-tolerated, reducing the risk of irritation or allergic reactions.

    5. Versatile Applications
      Suitable for crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays, and veneers, porcelain offers a flexible solution for restoring both function and aesthetics.

  • Porcelain restorations offer durability and a natural look, but a few factors are worth considering:

    • Higher Cost: Typically more expensive than materials like composite resin.

    • Brittleness: Though strong, porcelain can chip or crack under heavy bite pressure or teeth grinding.

    • Time-Intensive: Usually requires multiple visits due to custom lab fabrication.

    • Difficult Repairs: If damaged, porcelain restorations often need full replacement.

    Your dentist can help determine if porcelain is the best option for your specific dental needs.

  • Gold restorations offer excellent performance and longevity:

    • Highly Durable: Withstands chewing and grinding exceptionally well.

    • Conservative Preparation: Requires less removal of natural tooth structure.

    • Biocompatible: Safe and well-tolerated by the body.

    • Gentle on Teeth: Wears at a rate similar to natural enamel, minimizing wear on opposing teeth.

    • Long-Lasting: Can last for decades with proper care.

  • While durable and long-lasting, gold restorations have a few drawbacks:

    • Appearance: The metallic colour is noticeable, especially on front teeth.

    • Higher Cost: Gold is more expensive than other restorative materials.

    • Temperature Sensitivity: May cause sensitivity due to metal's heat and cold conductivity.

  • Gold restorations are custom-made in a dental laboratory through the following steps:

    1. Tooth Preparation: The dentist removes decay and shapes the tooth for the restoration.

    2. Digital Scanning: A precise intraoral scan of the prepared tooth and surrounding area is taken.

    3. Lab Fabrication: The digital scan is sent to a dental lab, where the gold alloy is cast to create a custom-fit restoration.

  • Why We Don’t Use Amalgam Fillings

    While amalgam fillings were once a common choice due to their durability and affordability, modern dentistry has moved toward safer, more aesthetic, and tooth-friendly alternatives. At our practice, we no longer place amalgam fillings for the following reasons:

    • Aesthetics: Amalgam is silver-coloured and does not match natural tooth colour.

    • Tooth Stress: Its tendency to expand and contract with temperature changes can lead to cracks or fractures in the tooth.

    • Mercury Content: Although considered safe by many health authorities, concerns remain about the potential health effects of mercury.

    • Modern Alternatives: Composite and porcelain materials offer better aesthetics, bonding strength, and preserve more natural tooth structure.

    Our Approach to Existing Amalgam Fillings

    We take a conservative approach—only removing amalgam fillings if they show signs of damage or wear. When replacement is needed, we use advanced techniques and tooth-coloured materials to restore strength and appearance while preserving as much natural tooth as possible.
