Composite resin fillings for cavities

  • Dr. Karen Ho
  • Tooth Fillings
Best Dentist for Fillings Near Me Area

Cavities are a serious issue when left undiagnosed and untreated, which is why dentists recommend routine recall visits and examinations at least every six months for patients of all ages. Dr. Karen Ho of Dentistry on Parkdale in Hamilton, Ontario, encourages patients diagnosed with a cavity to choose fillings to address it. Filings are the go-to method for treating areas of tooth decay, and our team is pleased to provide composite resin fillings, or tooth-coloured fillings, just for this purpose.

Composite resin fillings are one of the most desirable ways of addressing tooth decay and ensuring protection against further damage to the tooth. This same material is used to help repair teeth imperfections, such as chips, cracks, and gaps, making it a versatile solution for a wide range of concerns.

Are composite resin fillings the best for treating cavities?

Dr. Karen Ho is a dentist who focuses on ensuring all treatments are natural-looking and conservative. When patients visit her with a cavity or tooth decay, fillings are often recommended. At her practice, she focuses on providing fillings formulated with a composite resin material. This material is safe and effective at addressing dental caries, reducing the risk of cavity growth and damage to the natural tooth structure.

What alternatives are available?

Other dentists in the Hamilton, Ontario, area may provide alternative materials for fillings, such as silver amalgam fillings. However, this material is known to be toxic to the human body due to its high mercury content. It can leave patients at risk of mercury toxicity and neurological concerns, which is why we avoid using it and can provide replacement with composite resin for patients who want to remove it.
