Injection Moulding in South West Rocks, Kempsey & Coffs Harbour
Noticed your teeth are looking shorter, flatter, or more worn than they used to? Maybe years of grinding, acid erosion, or general wear have taken their toll, and now you’re wondering if there’s a way to rebuild what’s been lost.
Wonder no longer. Injection moulding offers a way to restore multiple worn teeth efficiently, without needing individual crowns for each one.

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 creates precise, durable restorations that restore tooth shape, function, and appearance. It’s particularly useful for addressing extensive wear across several teeth at once.
Patients from South West Rocks, Kempsey, Coffs Harbour, and throughout the Mid North Coast benefit from this advanced technique here at South West Rocks Dental for comprehensive tooth restoration.
WHAT INJECTION MOULDING HELPS 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, restores proper tooth height, and protects 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 predictable, uniform results.
LOSS OF BITE HEIGHT
Extensive wear can reduce your bite height, affecting how your jaw functions and potentially affecting facial structure. Rebuilding tooth structure with injection moulding can help restore proper bite height and improve jaw function.

COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT
We examine your bite, tooth wear patterns, and discuss the best approach for your situation.
PREPARATION AND IMPRESSIONS

FAQ's: Injection Moulding
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.
The mould technique creates 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.
How long do injection moulding restorations last?
Composite restorations typically last between 5 to 10 years, depending on factors like where they are in your mouth, how much pressure they handle, and how well you maintain them. Extensive restorations may experience more wear than smaller fillings.
Avoiding habits like grinding your teeth, chewing ice, or biting hard objects helps 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 proper 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 protect your new restorations. Without protection, the same grinding forces that wore down your natural teeth can damage the composite restorations.
A custom night guard worn during sleep helps distribute forces evenly and prevents wear on both your restorations and remaining natural teeth. We’ll discuss whether you need one based on what caused your tooth wear initially.
