Dental fillings are ideal for repairing cavities and restoring teeth that are broken or chipped, bringing them back to their natural shape. There is a variety of materials used for fillings including gold, porcelain, silver amalgam, resin composite, and plastic. For teeth that show when you smile, white fillings are often recommended.
The process for placing a filling starts with removing all decay from the tooth. Then, a bonding material is applied inside the prepared cavity. The filling is added in thin layers and each layer is hardened using a special light. The final layer is carefully shaped to mimic the natural appearance and texture of the tooth.
Over time, older silver or amalgam fillings might leak, causing further decay and other issues. These can be replaced with durable, functional, and visually appealing white tooth-coloured fillings. White fillings can also fix fractured teeth, whether they are at the front or back, restoring their original shape and size.
For reliable and cost-effective tooth-coloured fillings, consider booking an appointment with multi-award winning Dr. Salim Kapadia Dental Centre in the Greater Toronto Area.
What patients say about us
Rkrishna Mohan
My family and myself always look forward to get our cleaning done by Shagofa as she is not only knowledgeable, professional but very passionate towards her work. She is never tired to educating her clients by repeating hygiene instructions until they are on right track. Dr. Salim did ROOT CANAL in just ONE SITTING for my husband as he was suffering before, by going to many dentists. Dr. Salim did WISDOM EXTRACTION for one of my friend who was so nervous and was sent to oral surgeon, it was very expansive for her and Dr. Salim did it in no time with less money. My mother in law is always blessing me for sending her for IMPLANT as Dr. Salim did it for her from start to finish. I would highly recommend their quality of services to everyone.
