WE DON’T FEAR CAVITIES— WE FILL THEM.

WHEN IT COMES TO TOOTH DECAY OR MINOR COSMETIC DAMAGE, DENTAL FILLINGS ARE ONE OF THE EASIEST— AND MOST EFFECTIVE WAYS TO RESTORE AND PROTECT YOUR SMILE.

BEFORE A FILLING IS PLACED, ANY DECAY IS CAREFULLY REMOVED, AND THE AREA IS NUMBED USING LOCAL ANESTHESIA. WE ALSO OFFER SEDATION OPTIONS TO KEEP YOU AS COMFORTABLE AS POSSIBLE THROUGH THE PROCEDURE.

YOUR SMILE. YOUR CALL.

WE OFFER TWO TYPES OF FILLINGS— BOTH SAFE, RELIABLE, DURABLE AND TAILORED TO YOUR NEEDS.

AMALGAM (SILVER FILLINGS)

AMALGAM FILLINGS ARE A DURABLE, COST-EFFECTIVE OPTION MADE OF SILVER, TIN, COPPER AND MERCURY ALLOYS. KNOWN FOR THEIR INCREDIBLE STRENGTH, THEY’RE IDEAL FOR BACK MOLAR AND CAN WITHSTAND DECADES OF PRESSURE. TYPICALLY PLACED IN A SINGLE VISIT, THEY’RE AN EXTREMELY RELIABLE OPTION WHEN AESTHETICS AREN’T THE TOP PRIORITY.

COMPOSITE RESIN (WHITE—TOOTH COLOURED FILLINGS)

COMPOSITE FILLINGS ARE MADE TO MATCH THE NATURAL COLOUR OF TEETH. WE CUSTOMIZE THE SHADE OF WHITE TO ENSURE THERE IS A SEAMLESS TRANSITION BETWEEN TOOTH AND FILLING. IDEAL FOR FRONT TEETH OR VISIBLE AREAS, IT’S OFTEN USED FOR SMALL CHIPS, TO CLOSE GAPS OR TO CORRECT MINOR SHAPE ISSUES, ALL WHILE PRESERVING YOUR NATURAL TOOTH STRUCTURE.

FEEL THAT TWINGE. DON’T IGNORE IT.

CAVITIES AREN’T ALWAYS LOUD, AT LEAST NOT AT FIRST. IT MAY START AS A SMALL PANG OF PAIN. OTHERS ARE A DULL THROB IN THE BACKGROUND.

SENSITIVITY TO SWEETS, PRESSURE OR TEMPERATURE CHANGES MIGHT SEEM MINOR— BUT THEY’RE OFTEN EARLY RED FLAGS OF DEEPER DECAY.  IF YOU EXPERIENCE PAIN WHEN EATING CERTAIN FOODS OR WHEN YOUR TEETH ARE EXPOSED TO FLUNCTUATING TEMPERATURES— VIA FOOD, DRINK OR EVEN AIR— DON’T WAIT. THOSE ARE ALL TRADEMARK SIGNS OF A CAVITY— LIKELY A ROOT CANAL. THE LONGER IT GOES UNEXAMINED— THE HIGHER THE RISK THE TOOTH COULD BECOME UNSALVAGABLE, POTENTIALLY LEADING TO AN EXTRACTION.

ROOT CANALS— WHEN THE DAMAGE GOES DEEPER

A FILLING IS NOT JUST A CRITICAL TREATMENT FOR THE IMMEDIATE PAIN, BUT A PREVENTATIVE OF A MORE SEVERE, MORE EXPENSIVE, AND MORE INVASIVE SURGERY— A ROOT CANAL. THAT’S WHY WE ENCOURAGE FREQUENCE CHECK-UPS AND CLEANINGS, SO SHOULD A CAVITY ARISE, IT IS QUICKLY IDENTIFIED AND THE DAMAGE IS MITIGATED BEFORE FURTHER DECAY CAN EXTEND INTO THE ROOT OF THE TOOTH. BUT IN THE CASE IT’S TOO LATE— WE GOT YOU.

IF DECAY OR TRAUMA HAS REACHED THE INNER PULP OF THE TOOTH—WHERE NERVES AND BLOOD VESSELS LIVE— A SIMPLY FILLING WON’T BE ENOUGH. IN THAT CASE, WE MAY RECOMMEND A ROOT CANAL TO FULLY CLEAN AND SEAL THE INSIDE OF THE TOOTH, IN ORDER TO SALVAGE THE TOOTH AND AVOID A FULL EXTRACTION.

IT’S NOT A NIGHTMARE. IT’S A RESCUE.

DON’T PANIC. WE MAKE THE PROCESS COMFORTABLE AND AS PAIN-FREE AS POSSIBLE. WE SPECIALIZE IN A PRECISE, AND TARGETED PROCEDURE, FOCUSED ON JUST THE DECAYED MATTER AND MAXIMIZING THE PRESERVATION OF NATURAL TOOTH. AFTER TREATMENT, THE TOOTH IS USUALLY RESTORED WITH A CROWN FOR STRENGTH AND AESTHETICS, AND STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY IS NOT COMPROMISED, BUT RATHER FURTHER FORTIFIED.

NOT SURE WHICH IS RIGHT FOR YOU?

OUR DOCTORS ARE EXPERIENCED AND SPECIALIZED IN FILLINGS AND ROOT CANALS TO MITIGATE DAMAGE WHILE ADDRESSING SMILE GOALS, LIFESTYLE AND BUDGET.

DON’T WORRY— WE’VE SEEN WORSE.

BOOK A CONSULTATION SO WE CAN ASSESS WHETHER A FILLING WILL BE ENOUGH— OR IF A TOOTH NEEDS A LITTLE MORE LOVE (AND ANESTHESIA).
