Dental Fillings Service In White Rock, BC & South Surrey, BC

Services Details

Fillings

When we eat foods or drinks containing sugar, it provides a boost to bacteria in our mouths that produce acid. This acid breaks down tooth enamel and causes tooth decay over time. If tooth decay is not addressed, it can lead to more severe damage and pain, including the need for a root canal or even tooth extraction. Minor tooth decay can be treated with a dental filling, which restores the strength of the tooth and prevents further damage.

The filling process starts with the dentist applying a local anesthetic to numb the area. The decayed portion of the tooth is then removed, and a filling material is applied to prevent further decay and to protect the sensitive inner layers of the tooth from cold, heat, or pressure. This filling material is applied in layers and hardened with a special light. The final layers are shaped and polished to restore the tooth’s appearance and function. Composite, or plastic resin, is the most commonly used filling material. Composite is considered superior to the silver amalgam fillings used in the past because it does not contain any mercury. Additionally, composite fillings do not expand or contract as much as silver amalgam, which can lead to sensitivity to hot or cold. Composite fillings closely match the color of the tooth, making them nearly invisible.

Dental fillings, called restorations in clinical terms, usually last for a decade or so, and a lot of these can last even longer.
Composite fillings are very desirable fillings as compared to silver amalgam fillings. Although they cost more, composite fillings are more durable and can match the natural color of your teeth. Another type of filling is the ceramic filling made of porcelain, which also looks pleasing and lasts for a long time.
The tooth filling procedure is painless. Teeth are numbed but some sensitivity afterwards is expected.
Yes. In rare cases fillings can be done with no freezing but in general you need to be numb. There are new techniques like laser dentistry that could be used without drilling and pain.
After the procedure, the treated area may be sensitive for two to four weeks. If it lasts any longer than that, inform your dentist.
The filling hardens as soon as your dentist puts UV light on the treated area. Chewing food on the site where the filling had been placed is allowed by your dentist right away as soon as the freezing fades away.
The dentist will make sure you are void of any pain or discomfort during the procedure by numbing your tooth and the area around it. The dentist may opt to use a topical gel or local anesthetic via an injection and if you are anxious, give you nitrous oxide gas — commonly known as the “laughing gas” — to make you comfortable.
Yes. You can resume brushing your teeth twice a day and flossing once a day after getting dental fillings.
More often than not, dental membership plans cover the composite fillings’ cost to the silver components. The patient usually would need to take care of the remaining charges. You must ask about your treatment option fees, as it varies depending on the option you chose and your coverage.
Dental fillings can be composed of different materials. However, the most common types are amalgam silver and tooth-colored composites. At Smile Dental, we offer only tooth coloured fillings.

Facial Structure Reconstruction

Dental implants allow reconstruction with stable, comfortable replacement teeth and virtually stop future bone loss, maintaining the integrity of facial structures and a natural appearance.

Full Mouth Restoration

This patient presented with multiple areas of decay and broken down teeth. A comprehensive restorative treatment plan involved the use of dental implants in combination with crowns to achieve a stable long-term result.

Increased In Bone Width

We successfully accomplished an increase in bone width through our specialized treatment strategy, leading to greater dental stability and a stronger foundation for the patient's teeth.

Increased Root Coverage & Gum Thickness

We successfully achieved increased root coverage and gum thickness through a targeted treatment approach, resulting in improved periodontal health and enhanced aesthetics for the patient.

Congenitally Missing Laterals

This case has been treated by an orthodontist to replace the space for the missing lateral incisors. Both teeth are replaced with individual implant supported crowns, providing a natural aesthetic result and ease of long-term maintenance.

Wonderful dental team. Passionate about their work. They went above and beyond to make the dental implants or teeth implants possible for me. Dr. William Liang is excellent! The assistant was so patient and compassionate too and they work so well together. We have been bragging so much about how awesome our experience was that my other 2 daughters and my sisters are coming with me to Surrey for my follow-up so they can meet everyone! I’m very very grateful and without a doubt made the right choice to have my dental implants or teeth implants done here. You will never know how much this has meant to me!!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
