Modern, tooth-colored fillings, made of durable resin, can be bonded to your teeth for a stronger, more natural-looking smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Halifax for tooth restoration, Santé dental is here for you. Cavities and injuries to teeth can not only cause tremendous pain but also compromise the integrity of teeth strength. This can lead to complications such as infection and broken teeth. At our dentist in Halifax, we can perform treatments such as restoration using composite resin. These type of fillings match the natural colour of teeth so may be appealing to those seeking cosmetic dentistry in Halifax.

An inlay is a pre-moulded filling that is placed into the affected tooth. It does not cover the cusps of the tooth like an onlay would. These two treatments differ only in their placement. These fillings can usually. be applied in a single session. The procedure is carried out in our Halifax dentist office. The first step would be to remove the infected part of the tooth, the decay and then clean the tooth to prepare for the inlay or onlay. These fillings are created in a laboratory to be fitted during the following appointment, usually these procedures are completed in two visits to our dentist in Halifax. 

To make sure the teeth do not have any unnecessary friction, an impression of the bite pattern is made. This is done using a strip which is placed between the upper and lower teeth for the dentist to observe how the two surfaces interact. If there is a discrepancy which might cause discomfort, the tooth will be smoothed out. 

Please don’t hesitate to contact our Halifax family dentist. We can inform and advise you on the most suitable treatments for your situation or simply keep your oral health maintained with regular appointments and our hygiene services.
