Dental Fillings in Brampton
Dental Fillings
Cavities happen. Even with regular brushing and flossing, most people need a filling at some point in their lives. The good news: fixing a cavity is straightforward and can protect your tooth from further damage. At Brampton Dental Arts, we provide both composite (tooth-coloured) and amalgam (metal) fillings, so you and your dentist can decide what works best.
What a Filling Does
When decay eats into a tooth, it leaves a hole that can get bigger if left untreated. A filling removes the decay and restores the missing part of the tooth, making it stronger and more comfortable to use. Done early, a filling can stop a small cavity from turning into a bigger issue.
Composite vs. Amalgam Fillings
Composite fillings blend with your natural teeth. They’re popular for visible areas like front teeth.
Amalgam fillings are silver-coloured and very durable, often used for back teeth where chewing pressure is highest.
The Treatment Process
Getting a filling is usually quick. The tooth is numbed, the decay is removed, and the space is cleaned before the filling material is placed. Composite is layered and shaped to match your tooth. Amalgam is packed in and polished. Either way, the tooth is ready to use right after the appointment.
Caring for Your Fillings
Fillings don’t require special treatment. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental visits are enough to keep them in good shape. If a filling ever chips, wears down, or feels sensitive, it can be repaired or replaced.
