Fillings and Preventative Care
A healthy smile starts with protecting and preserving your natural teeth.
Restorative Fillings
When teeth are affected by decay, chips, or wear we use advanced tooth-coloured composite fillings to restore both strength and appearance. These materials bond directly to your tooth structure, creating a durable and natural-looking restoration that blends seamlessly with your smile. Composite fillings also allow us to conserve healthy tooth structure compared to traditional silver fillings.
Preventative Care
Some teeth, especially molars that have deep grooves and pits, are prone to plaque accumulation and therefore demineralization and early decay. When we detect these early changes during your exam, a small, conservative preventative filling is recommended to protect these areas before more significant damage occurs.
This proactive approach can:
- Prevent further demineralization and cavities
- Preserve more of your natural tooth structure
- Often be completed without the need for anesthetic
By addressing these concerns early, we help you maintain a strong, healthy smile for years to come.
