Dental Fillings in Northeast Edmonton
Tooth decay happens — it’s one of the most common dental issues people face. The good news is that with a simple filling, we can stop the problem early and keep the tooth strong. At our clinic in Northeast Edmonton, just beside Manning Town Centre, we provide both composite (white) and amalgam fillings. Having both options means you and your dentist can choose the best fit for the tooth, your preferences, and your overall care plan.
How the Process Works
A filling is straightforward, but it makes a big difference. First, the decayed part of the tooth is gently removed. The area is cleaned and shaped, and then the filling material is placed. Composite fillings are tooth-coloured and blend in, making them a popular choice for teeth that show when you smile.
Amalgam fillings, which are silver, have been used for many years and are known for their durability, especially in back teeth that handle heavy chewing.
Why Fillings Are Important
It’s easy to dismiss a small cavity, but untreated decay doesn’t stay small. Left alone, it can spread deeper into the tooth, leading to pain, infection, or the need for more advanced treatment like a crown or root canal.
A filling closes off the area, restores the tooth’s structure, and helps you avoid those bigger problems down the line. For children, timely fillings protect developing teeth. For adults, they preserve natural teeth and reduce future dental work.
