Injection Moulding Port Macquarie, Laurieton & Surrounding Areas
Noticed your teeth are looking worn down, shorter, or flatter than they used to be? Maybe grinding, acid erosion, or years of wear have gradually changed the shape of your teeth.
If multiple teeth need rebuilding, injection moulding offers a way to restore them efficiently without needing a crown on every tooth.

REBUILDING TEETH WITH PRECISION
Injection moulding is an advanced technique that uses pre-formed moulds and composite resin to rebuild multiple worn, damaged, or eroded teeth efficiently. The process aims to create precise, durable restorations that help restore tooth shape, function, and appearance.
It’s particularly useful for addressing extensive wear across several teeth at once in fewer appointments.
Patients from Wauchope, Port Macquarie, Laurieton & Surrounding Areas, and throughout the Hastings region benefit from this advanced technique here at Wauchope Dental for comprehensive tooth restoration.
WHAT INJECTION MOULDING CAN HELP WITH
SEVERE TOOTH WEAR
Years of grinding, acid erosion, or heavy wear can significantly flatten and shorten your teeth. Injection moulding rebuilds the lost tooth structure, aims to restore appropriate tooth height, and is designed to help protect what remains of your natural teeth from further damage.
MULTIPLE WORN TEETH
When several teeth are affected by wear or erosion, treating them individually with traditional methods can be time-consuming and inconsistent. Injection moulding allows us to restore multiple teeth at once with more predictable, uniform results across your teeth.
LOSS OF BITE HEIGHT
Extensive wear can reduce your bite height, affecting how your jaw functions and potentially causing facial changes over time. Rebuilding tooth structure with injection moulding can help restore appropriate bite height and may improve jaw function and comfort.

FAQ's: Injection Moulding
Straightforward answers to help you make informed decisions.
How is injection moulding different from regular fillings?
Injection moulding uses pre-formed moulds based on ideal tooth anatomy to rebuild multiple teeth precisely and efficiently. Regular fillings are hand-sculpted individually, which works well for single teeth but can be time-consuming and less predictable when restoring many worn teeth at once.
The mould technique aims to create more consistent results across multiple teeth and can rebuild significant tooth structure in one appointment. It’s particularly useful for cases involving extensive wear where traditional approaches would take several visits to complete.
How long do injection moulding restorations last?
Composite restorations typically last between 5 to 10 years, depending on factors like location in your mouth, how much pressure they handle, and how well you maintain them. Extensive restorations may experience more wear than smaller fillings over time.
Avoiding habits like grinding your teeth, chewing ice, or biting hard objects can help your restorations last longer. Regular checkups let us monitor the restorations and address any wear or damage early. Many people find the results last well with appropriate care.
Will I need to protect my teeth after injection moulding?
If tooth wear was caused by grinding or clenching, we’ll likely recommend a night guard to help protect your new restorations. Without protection, the same grinding forces that wore down your natural teeth can damage the composite restorations over time.
A custom night guard worn during sleep helps distribute forces evenly and aims to prevent wear on both your restorations and remaining natural teeth. We’ll discuss whether you need one based on what caused your tooth wear initially and your individual situation.
