Dental Fillings Edmonton
Dental fillings are used to restore teeth affected by decay, cracks, or wear. Modern dental materials allow restorations that closely match the natural tooth in both appearance and strength, providing a durable and aesthetically pleasing solution.
Tooth-Coloured Composite Fillings
Contemporary composite fillings are mercury-free and match your tooth color:
- Bond directly to enamel for added strength
- Require minimal tooth preparation
- Are smaller and more discreet than traditional metal fillings
- Blend seamlessly with your natural teeth
The Filling Procedure
Cavity Preparation
The dentist removes decay and shapes the tooth to prepare for the filling.
Composite Resin Application
The composite resin is applied in layers, hardened with a curing light, and then polished to restore the tooth’s natural shape and appearance.
Inlays and Onlays
If a cavity is too large for a standard filling, an inlay or onlay may be recommended. These restorations replace more tooth structure than a regular filling and are custom-made in a dental laboratory. Placement occurs during a follow-up visit at ABC Dental Care.
Follow-Up and Maintenance
Fillings can wear over time or develop cracks. Regular dental check-ups ensure that your fillings remain in good condition and are replaced if necessary.
