Tooth Fillings in Thornhill

If you have worn-out, damaged, or broken teeth, then dental gap fillings can be used to restore them. The most common filling is dental amalgam, or a metal alloy. It is durable, cheap, and can be used for molars. This amalgam contains deficient levels of mercury that are permissible and not harmful to human health. However, this amalgam should be avoided for pregnant or breastfeeding women, children, and those with kidney diseases.

Tooth-Coloured Fillings

Tooth-coloured fillings are very popular these days. Generally, people prefer tooth-coloured fillings for front teeth due to cosmetic reasons. But they are not the first choice for back teeth.

The composition of these fillings includes a resinous material or complex chemical compounds such as monomers. They blend in seamlessly into the tooth structure, fill out gaps or irregularities in the teeth, and are highly preferred from an aesthetic point of view.

However, they are not very strong or immune to daily wear and tear from chewing or biting activities. They tend to come off and do not hold on as firmly as an amalgam filling. Another alternative is porcelain/ceramic. Additionally, they are prohibitively expensive, which is why they are preferred as fillings for the front or immediately visible teeth.

Dental Gap Filling at World Dental

Whether you opt for monomers or porcelain/ceramic fillings, we’ve got you covered. Our treatment process starts with a consultation with our Thornhill dentist, who will discuss and examine your teeth.

At World Dental, we do not operate in a blanket-style treatment, where one treatment fits all problems. Rather, we consult with the patients, addressing their dental needs and personalizing their treatment to suit these needs.

Next, we prepare you for the treatment proper. Sometimes fillings are required due to cavities in your teeth. If that is the case, we clear out the decaying matter from the tooth and clean the surrounding area before we apply the filling material. In that way, we get rid of things that can cause an infection and leave your teeth healthy and whole.

In other cases where the tooth is already infected, we might suggest a root canal treatment as well to deal with the infected pulp. Nonetheless, you can be sure of all-round quality dental care at World Dental.
