Dental Fillings in North Nanaimo

‍

Restore you smile quickly and comfortably with modern, natural-looking dental fillings designed to protect your teeth and keep them strong.

A cavity doesn’t have to become a major dental problem. When treated early, a dental filling can restore your tooth, relieve discomfort, and prevent decay from spreading deeper into the tooth.

At Metral Dental, Dr. John Christensen provides natural-looking, tooth-coloured composite fillings that are designed to restore both the strength and appearance of your smile. Whether you’ve noticed sensitivity, a chipped tooth, or you’ve been told you have a cavity during a routine exam, we’ll explain your options clearly and recommend the treatment that’s right for you.

Our goal is simple: preserve as much of your natural tooth as possible while making your visit comfortable and stress-free.

What is a Dental Filling?

‍

A dental filling is used to repair a tooth that has been damaged by decay, minor fractures, or everyday wear. After removing the damaged portion of the tooth, the area is filled with a durable composite resin that bonds directly to the remaining tooth structure.

Unlike older silver amalgam fillings, modern composite fillings are matched to the colour of your natural teeth, creating a seamless appearance while providing excellent strength and durability.

Do I Need a Filling?

‍

You may need a filling if you have:

• Tooth sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweets
• Pain when biting or chewing
• A visible dark spot or small hole in a tooth
• Food repeatedly getting stuck in the same area
• A chipped or rough tooth
• A cavity found during a routine exam or x-ray
