Dental Fillings
Natural-Looking Tooth Fillings
Serving the families of New Brighton, McKenzie Towne, Mahogany, and Auburn Bay.
Modern dentistry allows us to combine beauty with strength. At Copperfield Dental Center, we use advanced materials that mimic the look and feel of your natural teeth, creating restorations that are virtually invisible.
Why Choose Composite Restorations?
While we offer both amalgam and composite options, most patients in Calgary SE prefer tooth-colored composite resin for its superior aesthetics and conservative nature.
- Conservative: Requires less removal of healthy tooth structure.
- Bonding: Attaches directly to your enamel for a tighter seal.
- Mercury-Free: A modern, safe alternative to traditional metal.
- Seamless: Custom-shaded to match your unique tooth enamel.
The Procedure: 3 Simple Steps
- Preparation: The dentist removes the decay and shapes the area.
- Placement: Composite resin is layered and "cured" (hardened) with a specialized light.
- Polishing: The filling is smoothed to match the natural contours of your bite.
Large Cavities: Inlays and Onlays
Sometimes, decay or a fracture is too large for a standard filling but doesn't quite require a full crown. In these cases, our dentists recommend an Inlay or Onlay (Partial Crown).
How it works: Unlike a standard filling that is molded in your mouth, these are custom-crafted in a dental laboratory from an impression. This provides superior strength for teeth that endure heavy chewing forces.
Do fillings last forever?
While durable, fillings can develop cracks or wear down over time. During your regular check-ups at Copperfield Dental Center, we monitor the integrity of your restorations. If we detect a leak or a crack early, we can replace the filling before it leads to a painful infection or a more costly procedure.
