Hamilton, ON dental practice offers composite tooth filling services

Dental Filling Services in Hamilton on Area

One of the biggest problems that can occur within the smile is dental decay, also known as “cavities.” Cavities are often caused by inadequate oral hygiene and results in large holes in the tooth’s enamel. Untreated cavities can become extremely problematic. These holes can become larger and deeper and can result in an infection within the tooth. Patients with cavities might also notice pain and sensitivity. It is important that patients with cavities not only get them diagnosed in the earliest stages but seek effective treatment services with their dentist in Hamilton, ON. Composite resin tooth fillings are often the best option for our patients.

What is a dental filling?

Fillings are resin materials that are placed within a tooth’s structure if dental decay becomes large enough for treatment. This material is biocompatible with the body and safe to use in the oral cavity, unlike other materials in the past such as silver amalgam fillings. Dr. Karen Ho of Dentistry on Parkdale uses composite resin for many reasons. Composite resin fillings are:

  • Affordable
  • Fast
  • Tooth-colored
  • Safe
  • Effective
  • Long-lasting

Why should a tooth be filled if a cavity has developed?

Fillings protect the natural tooth from further damage after a cavity has appeared. If the cavity is large enough within the tooth, it can carry deep within and infect the dental pulp inside of the tooth’s canals. The dental pulp is a tissue mass that includes the blood supply and nerves of a tooth. If infected, it can cause a severe toothache that may require root canal therapy. Instead, patients should treat their cavities in the earliest stage to avoid future difficulties.
