Bonded Fillings

If you’re experiencing scraped, broken or fragmented teeth, 22nd@Taylor Dental Care has you covered. Our bonded fillings use a tooth-coloured composite resin to repair any cracks in your teeth, leaving them looking flawless.

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.

Our priority is your health and confidence, so we promise a comfortable and professional experience to give your smile that extra boost. Trust us to take care of your teeth and restore your confidence!

Bonded Fillings FAQ

What is a bonded filling?

A bonded filling is a type of dental restoration that is used to repair damaged teeth. It is composed of a composite material that is bonded to the affected tooth, creating a durable repair that can last for many years.

What are the benefits of a bonded filling?

Bonded fillings can be used to repair minor damage to teeth and help restore the tooth’s natural shape and function. They are also strong and long-lasting, making them a good choice for repairing teeth that have been damaged due to decay or trauma.

How long do bonded fillings last?

Bonded fillings can last for many years with proper care. However, they may need to be replaced at some point due to wear and tear, or depending on the extent of the damage being repaired.

How are bonded fillings placed?

Bonded fillings are installed by a dentist or dental professional. The tooth is prepared for the filling, then the composite material is placed in the cavity and cured with a special light. Once the material has hardened, it is then shaped and polished to match the surrounding teeth.

Yes, bonded fillings are safe and are considered to be a safe and effective way to repair damaged teeth.
