Fillings

Fillings are dental restorations that are used when a tooth has been damaged by bacteria in the form of decay, or caries. At Victoria Dental, we use the finest, top-of-the line composites for our restorative treatments because they offer unmatched aesthetics, as well as outstanding strength. These tooth-coloured filling materials can be used to restore the anterior, as well as the posterior teeth without compromising the appearance of the smile.

During a filling appointment, we first clear away the portion of the tooth that has been destroyed by the bacteria. A cavity is then created, designed to retain the filling material without the risk of dislodgement. The composite is then loaded into this cavity one small increment at a time to ensure better adherence to the surface of the tooth, and more natural-looking results. Our experts shape the material in a way that it replicated the contour of the teeth present in the oral cavity. It is then set in place with the help of a laser, or a dental curing light. Composites are available in a large variety of shades, and can easily be matched to your teeth. If you have a carious lesion on your tooth, book an appointment with us immediately to get a filling, and prevent it from spreading further.
