Dental Fillings at Aurora Bayview North Family Dental

What are dental cavities?

Cavities are holes in the teeth that result from tooth decay. They form when acids in the mouth eat away at a tooth’s enamel. Everyone is susceptible to them regardless of age. If a cavity is given time to grow, it opens the door to infection and more extensive decay, leading to the weakening of the tooth, pain, and even tooth loss.

When you first get a cavity, you may not even know it. Over time, symptoms can develop, including any of the following:

• Discomfort and pain when biting
• Sensitivity to anything cold, hot, or sweet
• Stains
• A persistent toothache.

If we detect a cavity, we suggest removing the decayed material and replacing it with a dental filling.

Why would you want to choose Aurora Bayview North for your dental fillings?

When a cavity requires treatment, our tooth-coloured composite fillings offer a durable and aesthetically pleasing solution. Composed of BPA-free materials and blended to match the natural color of your teeth, these fillings not only restore your tooth's strength but also enhance its appearance. Unlike traditional metal fillings, composite fillings bond directly to the tooth structure, providing better insulation against temperature changes and reducing the risk of future fractures.

At ABN Family dental we use multiple sorts of Composite Resin for your dental fillings. These are white and can be closely matched to the color of your existing teeth. We utilize different shades and types of Composite Resin as well as Resin Modified Glass ionomers customized to your specific dental, functional and aesthetic needs to deliver long lasting and pain-free experience. This single-visit procedure ensures minimal disruption to your daily routine while effectively addressing dental decay.
