Fillings

There’s no way around it. Cavities are a nuisance. Even if you brush and floss daily, you may experience decay and a cavity will form. When a cavity is present, it’s crucial to address damage or decay as soon as possible to prevent it from worsening and potentially leading to a root canal or extraction.

Amalgam and Mercury Free

At Riverbend Dental, we believe in using mercury and amalgam-free fillings. Unlike silver fillings, which can detract from your smile’s appearance and weaken teeth over time due to temperature changes, our porcelain and ceramic fillings offer a beautiful, natural look. These tooth-coloured fillings blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing a long-lasting solution for cavities and minor dental repairs.

Gentle, Comfortable Fillings

We pride ourselves on providing gentle, comfortable fillings.  You can relax knowing our gentle techniques will leave you wondering, “have they even started yet? Our soft touch has even led to patients falling asleep in the chair during filling procedures.

Filling Procedure

To treat a cavity, we first use local anesthesia to numb the area around the tooth. Next we drill the decay out of the tooth. The cavity is then cleaned of bacteria and debris to prepare the space for filling. After the filling is in, we finish and polish it.
