Small areas of decay or damage can affect the strength and function of a tooth over time.
Tooth-coloured fillings are used to restore these areas and allow the tooth to continue functioning as part of your bite. At Westpointe Dental, treatment is planned with a focus on preserving as much natural tooth structure as possible while restoring strength where it is needed.
When part of a tooth is weakened by decay or minor damage, the affected area is removed and replaced with a filling material.
Composite, or tooth-coloured, materials are commonly used because they bond directly to the tooth surface. This helps support the remaining tooth structure while allowing the restoration to blend naturally with your surrounding teeth.
The shade of the filling is carefully selected to provide a natural-looking result.
Tooth-coloured fillings may be used in cases such as:
The decision to place a filling is based on how much of the tooth is affected and the treatment that will best support its long-term function.
Filling treatment is typically completed in a single appointment.
The affected area is prepared, and the filling material is placed and shaped to restore the tooth. Final adjustments are made so your bite feels comfortable, followed by polishing.
Our team will explain each step and answer any questions you may have so you know what to expect during your visit.
Keeping your fillings in good condition comes down to consistent daily care and regular dental visits.
Brushing and flossing help protect the surrounding tooth structure, and routine examinations and professional cleanings allow us to monitor your fillings and address any changes early.
