Offering Fillings to Our Patients

Dental fillings are among the more common dental services available at Janz Family Dental. Usually, fillings are used to fill in cavities, but they can also be used to repair cracked or broken teeth. Teeth that have been worn down from nail-biting, tooth-grinding, or a similar issue can also use dental fillings to correct them. Fillings improve both the look and functionality of your smile.

When it comes to performing a filling, your dentist first numbs the area around the tooth to be corrected. If the tooth has a cavity, the decay will be removed, and then the area will be filled in with a type of filling material. Many types of filling materials exist, including composite resin, amalgam, gold, and ceramics. Amalgam is often made of mercury or silver and does not blend with your natural tooth colour; however, it is the cheapest of the materials. Composite resin and ceramics can be tooth coloured and blend with natural teeth but are often more expensive than amalgam fillings.

You can discuss with your dentist which type of filling is right for you.

The Importance Of Fillings At Janz Family Dental

If damaged teeth and cavities go unattended, they can lead to more serious problems. If the structure of your teeth has failed for any reason, fillings can be used to bring stability back. Dental fillings are essential for restoring decayed or damaged teeth. They involve removing the decay, cleaning the tooth, and applying a filling. This stabilizes the tooth and prevents further decay. At Janz Family Dental, we promote regular check-ups for early decay detection and suitable treatment options

FAQS

The following are some frequently asked questions our family dentists in Edmonton receive. If you have any more questions, you can send them to us, and we will get back to you shortly. We invite you to view our blog to learn more.

The longevity of a dental filling can vary depending on the material used and the care it receives. Amalgam fillings typically last between 10 to 15 years, while composite fillings might need replacement after 5 to 7 years. Regular check-ups and proper oral hygiene can help extend the life of your fillings.

Signs that you might need a dental filling include tooth sensitivity to hot or cold, pain when biting down, visible holes or pits in your teeth, and noticeable stains on the surface of your teeth. If you experience any of these symptoms, you must visit your dentist for an evaluation.

Depending on the complexity, a typical dental filling procedure takes about 20 to 60 minutes per tooth. There is usually no significant downtime, and most patients can resume their normal activities immediately. Some sensitivity or discomfort might be experienced initially but should subside within a few hours.

Dental fillings are generally safe and effective, but like any medical procedure, they carry some risks. Potential complications may include increased sensitivity, allergic reactions to filling materials (rare), or discomfort around the filled tooth, which typically resolves on its own.
