Fillings

A filling is most often the final step to bringing a decayed or fractured tooth back to working order. We offer fillings at our Williams Lake dental clinic.

Average procedure time: 0.5–1 hour

After removing a decayed or affected area of a tooth, a filling is required to fill the remaining space. We use both metal or composite / porcelain fillings.

Why use composite fillings?

Composite fillings bond to the tooth surface securely, and do not expand and contract with temperature changes as metal fillings do. As a result, a composite filling makes for a strong addition to the structure of a tooth. The best part about composite fillings is that they can be matched to the natural color of your teeth, making them indistinguishable once installed. These fillings are durable and last a long time, but no filling is permanent.
