Our composite fillings are made of a unique tooth-coloured resin, specifically designed to blend in with the rest of your mouth. They are a significantly safer, more durable, and aesthetically appealing alternative to mercury amalgam fillings.
The first step of treatment involves numbing the affected area using a local anesthetic. Dr. Gill will then clear any present decay before preparing the area by cleaning any bacteria or debris. If the decay is near a nerve root, we may first protect the root with a liner. The filling material is then put in layer-by-layer and hardened with a special light. Dr. Gill will then shape the tooth to match the rest of your teeth in order to restore natural form and function. Finally, your filling is given a polish and inspected to ensure the highest quality.
By using an anesthetic we ensure that you experience no pain. However, some light pressure may be felt during the use of various instruments.
Generally, each filling can take up to 30 minutes
