Dental Fillings at Officer Dental Care
When teeth become decayed and have cavities, they need to be filled and restored to their original shape and function using safe and durable materials, such as composite.
The dentists at Officer Dental Care provide tooth-coloured composite restorations, as these allow your teeth to look the same or better than a natural tooth after the filling. We only use the most advanced materials and techniques to restore the appearance and the function of the tooth and aim to make this process as gentle and pain-free as possible. We also offer inhalation sedation to successfully manage any pain and anxiety.
Benefits of Our Amalgam-Free Fillings
Along with only using the safest and most durable materials, we can also assure that our dental fillings are Amalgam-free. This poses a number of benefits to our patients, including:
- Composite fillings can be made to perfectly match the shade of your tooth, resulting in a restoration that is subtle and a smile that is seamless.
- Unlike the Amalgam fillings which were common decades ago, our composite fillings do not contain any mercury.
- Tooth-coloured fillings are not affected by temperature, meaning that hot and cold foods and beverages will not have any negative impacts on the filling.
- When compared to silver Amalgam fillings, composite fillings also require less of the tooth’s natural structure to be removed, therefore requiring less drilling and discomfort during the procedure.
FAQ
Your dentist is the best person to help you determine the material that is most suited for your needs, taking into consideration your budget and your current dental health.
Smaller amounts of other metals like zinc may also be present.
