Dental Fillings

Dental fillings restore teeth damaged by decay. At Ryerson Smile Boutique, we use tooth-colored composite fillings that match the shade of your natural teeth for a virtually invisible restoration. Our fillings are durable, mercury-free, and bond directly to tooth structure, preserving more of your natural tooth compared to older amalgam fillings.

Dental fillings are restorations used to repair teeth damaged by cavities, replacing decayed material with tooth-colored composite resin that matches the natural shade of your tooth.

The dentist removes decayed tooth material, cleans the cavity, and fills it with composite resin that is shaped to match your tooth and hardened with a curing light. The process is completed in a single appointment.

Fillings halt the progression of decay, restore the tooth's original shape and function, relieve sensitivity, and prevent bacteria from re-entering the treated area.
