Fillings

Are you in need of a filling for one or more of your teeth? The dentists here at Regina’s Gold Square Dental are ready to help you restore your teeth.

Fillings are used to treat cavities, broken teeth, and tooth decay. One of our dentists will remove the affected area of your tooth, leaving a gap that needs to be filled. They will ensure that the area is properly prepared for the filling, which includes removing all decay and ensuring the area is debris-free. The tooth will then be filled and, once hardened, shaped and filed by our dentist.

Several materials can be used for fillings, including:

• Gold
• Porcelain
• Silver amalgam
• Composite resin (a mixture of plastic and glass)

Our dental experts will consult with you to determine the best material for your filling.

After your filling is in place, it’s crucial to care for your new tooth filling properly. This includes regular brushing and flossing at least once a day, along with routine cleanings and checkups. It’s essential to have a dentist regularly inspect your filling to ensure no cracks have formed and that it remains in place.

If you have any questions about fillings or require a filling, please don’t hesitate to contact our office today.
