Restoring Strength, Function, and Aesthetics at Glenashton Dental Centre At Glenashton Dental Centre in Oakville, we offer high-quality dental fillings to restore teeth that have been damaged by decay, wear, or minor fractures. A filling is one of the most common restorative dental treatments, designed to rebuild lost tooth structure and protect the tooth from further damage.
A tooth filling replaces the decayed or weakened portion of a tooth with a durable restorative material. In addition to treating cavities, fillings can also repair teeth that have been chipped, cracked, or excessively worn due to grinding or other factors.
At Glenashton Dental Centre, we combine aesthetic precision with lasting strength. Our composite resin fillings are designed to match the natural color and translucency of your teeth, creating restorations that blend seamlessly with your smile while maintaining durability and function.
Your dentist begins by carefully removing any decayed or damaged tooth material and shaping the cavity for optimal restoration. A tooth-colored composite resin is then applied in layers and hardened using a curing light. Once the filling is set, it is shaped and polished to restore your tooth’s natural contour and smoothness.
If the damaged area is too large for a standard filling, your dentist may recommend an inlay or onlay—a custom-made partial crown that provides additional strength and coverage. These restorations are fabricated in a dental laboratory for a precise fit and are bonded securely to your tooth at a follow-up appointment.
While modern filling materials are durable, they are not permanent. Over time, chewing forces and natural wear can cause fillings to chip, crack, or deteriorate. Regular dental checkups and professional examinations at Glenashton Dental Centre allow us to monitor the integrity of your restorations and replace them when necessary—helping you maintain a healthy, beautiful smile for years to come.
