Dental fillings are among the most common procedures performed by our Red Deer dental professionals. Fillings are an effective treatment for decayed, chipped, or discoloured teeth, but they can also fill small gaps between teeth, giving you a more uniform smile.​

Bonded fillings are widely used to restore cavities. They can be used to repair small chips or fractures in teeth or to restore lost tooth structure due to decay or trauma. Bonded fillings help strengthen weakened teeth and prevent further damage. Additionally, they enable dentists to perform precise repairs that closely match the natural tooth structure, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing outcome.

Compared with other types of dental restoration, such as amalgam (silver) fillings, bonded fillings offer many advantages. Bonded fillings require much less drilling than silver amalgam fillings; this means that not only is less healthy tooth enamel removed during treatment, but patients also experience less discomfort during the procedure. In addition, bonded fillings provide superior sealing, reducing sensitivity associated with exposed root surfaces and preventing bacteria from entering vulnerable areas, where they can cause further decay or infection if left untreated.

Finally, bonded fillings look much more natural than silver amalgam fillings because they can be closely matched to the colour of your surrounding teeth, making them virtually undetectable once placed in your mouth and restoring your beautiful smile. All-in-all, bonded fillings offer excellent benefits and can be an ideal solution for repairing cavities caused by tooth decay.​
