Dental Fillings Edmonton
Dental fillings restore teeth affected by cavities, minor fractures, or everyday wear while preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible. Modern tooth-coloured filling materials blend naturally with your smile, providing durable restorations that look and function like natural teeth.
Tooth-coloured Composite Restorations
We use mercury-free composite fillings that are carefully matched to the colour of your natural teeth for attractive, long-lasting results.
- Bond securely to natural tooth enamel
- Require less removal of healthy tooth structure
- Preserve more of your natural tooth than traditional metal fillings
- Create a seamless, natural-looking restoration
Dental Filling Procedure and Maintenance
Cavity Preparation
Your dentist begins by gently removing tooth decay and preparing the tooth to ensure the filling bonds securely and restores proper function.
Composite Resin Filling Material
A tooth-coloured composite resin is carefully placed in layers and hardened with a special curing light. The filling is then shaped, adjusted, and polished to match the natural contours of your tooth for a comfortable bite and natural appearance.
Inlays and Onlays
If a cavity is too large for a traditional filling, your dentist may recommend a custom inlay or onlay. These restorations replace more damaged tooth structure while preserving healthy enamel. After taking an impression, your custom restoration is fabricated in a dental laboratory and permanently placed during a follow-up visit at Plaza Dental Suite.
Regular Check-ups
Although modern dental fillings are durable, they can wear down or develop small cracks over time. Routine dental examinations allow your dentist to monitor existing fillings and recommend repair or replacement before more extensive treatment becomes necessary.
