Dental Fillings in East Vancouver

Dental Fillings

When the outer white surface of the tooth starts to decay, bacteria can penetrate the dental pulp.  This can result in a tooth infection. Dental fillings are important to repair and protect the tooth and prevent a serious infection from occurring.

What Is the Process for a Dental Filling?

Fillings are a common dental treatment that is used to restore damaged teeth. Your dentist will begin by administering a local anesthetic to prevent any discomfort during the procedure. They will then clean the damaged area thoroughly and fill the hole with a dental filling.

What Are Dental Fillings Made From?

At Mercato Dental Centre, we use fillings made from composite resin. Composite fillings can be color-matched to the natural teeth, making them less visible in the mouth while still providing strong and durable results.
