Dental fillings restore areas of a tooth that have been affected by decay or certain types of damage. Richmond Dental Centre offers fillings as part of our restorative dentistry services. Our dental team can assess the affected tooth and determine whether a filling or another type of restoration is appropriate.

What Are Dental Fillings?

A dental filling replaces tooth structure that has been removed because of decay or damage. Filling materials may include amalgam, composite resin, ceramic, glass ionomer, and gold. The material used in a particular case depends on the tooth, the size and location of the restoration, and clinical considerations.

Benefits of Fillings

  • Restore a tooth after decay has been removed
  • Repair selected areas of minor tooth damage
  • Help prevent a cavity from progressing further once treated
  • Rebuild the shape and chewing surface of a tooth
  • Offer different restorative materials depending on the clinical situation

What to Expect When Getting a Dental Filling

The procedure depends on the location and size of the damaged area and the restorative material selected.

Examination: Your dentist assesses the tooth and may use X-rays to evaluate the extent of decay or damage.

Numbing: Local anaesthetic may be used to keep the tooth and surrounding area comfortable during treatment.

Removing Decay: The damaged or decayed tooth structure is removed and the area is prepared for restoration.

Placing the Filling: The selected restorative material is placed and shaped to rebuild the tooth.

Bite Check: The filling is adjusted as needed so your bite feels comfortable.

Our office is located at 8211 Cook Road in Richmond, BC, and Richmond Dental Centre welcomes new patients, walk-ins, and dental emergencies.
