TOOTH-COLOURED FILLINGS
Tooth-Coloured Fillings in Stoney Creek from Portway Dental Centre
At Portway Dental Centre in Stoney Creek, we offer routine tooth-coloured fillings for cavities. When you have a cavity, first tooth decay is removed and then a filling is placed. Fillings usually involve the following steps:
- Your teeth, gums, tongue, and surrounding skin is numbed. A substance with a similar feel to jelly is placed directly on the area to start the numbing. Then an anaesthetic is injected to complete the process.
- A dental handpiece is used to remove the decay.
- Lastly, the filling is placed to replace the removed decay. Fillings are made of composite resin that provides a tooth-coloured appearance.
