Dental Fillings in Kerrisdale

Dental Fillings

When tooth decay threatens your oral health, dental fillings offer a simple way to restore the tooth and shut out harmful bacteria. Dental fillings can easily and quickly be completed in our Vancouver dental offices. Our dentists will help ensure you’re comfortable and relaxed throughout the treatment.

Preventing Infection & Decay

When bacteria sits on a tooth, it can break through the hard outer surface of the tooth enamel. These small holes in the teeth (known commonly as cavities) then allow the bacteria into the soft tissue inside the teeth, which can cause an infection. Fillings are an important dental tool because they can prevent infections from forming and spreading that require more serious treatments, such as root canal therapy or even tooth extraction.

Beautiful & Secure Dental Fillings

Our Kerrisdale dental office uses composite filling material, which is a hard, tooth-coloured substance that can be matched to the same shade as your natural tooth. This results in a filling that is difficult to spot, even on your lower teeth. The material is shaped on your tooth and then hardened into place. Composite fillings can last a very long time with good at-home and in-office dental care.
