Restore Your Smile with Safe, Long-Lasting Fillings
At Bright Dental Smile, we offer high-quality dental fillings to repair teeth affected by decay or damage. Whether you’ve discovered a cavity during your checkup or are experiencing sensitivity or discomfort, our gentle and precise approach ensures your tooth is restored with minimal discomfort and maximum care.
Types of Dental Fillings
Our teeth are durable and work hard for us throughout our lives but even people who take excellent care of their teeth can get cavities and need fillings. If you have cavities, it’s important to treat them quickly.
What's a dental filling?
A dental filling protects teeth affected by cavities from further damage that could be caused if bacteria enter the tooth through a cavity.
We work with two excellent dental filling materials: composite fillings and porcelain - or ceramic. Both are tooth-coloured and invisible - we don’t use the old amalgam fillings you may remember.
What happens if I ignore a cavity?
Left alone, a cavity can cause serious problems and may even require a dental crown or root canal treatment, but tooth fillings can keep you protected for five to 10 years - especially if you keep up with your regular check-up and clean visits.
Our Filling Materials
We use tooth-coloured composite resin to create natural-looking fillings that blend seamlessly with your smile. These fillings are:
- Mercury-free
- Durable and long-lasting
- Aesthetically pleasing
- Bonded directly to the tooth for added strength
For certain situations, we may also offer other filling materials such as amalgam or glass ionomer, depending on your needs and preferences.
