Cavities are one of the most common dental problems — and the good news is they're easily treatable. Our tooth-coloured composite fillings restore your tooth's structure and blend seamlessly with your natural smile.
A dental filling is a restorative treatment used to repair a tooth that has been damaged by decay (a cavity). The process involves removing the decayed portion of the tooth and filling the space with a durable material that restores the tooth's shape, strength, and function.
At The Port Dental Clinic, we primarily use composite resin (tooth-coloured) fillings. These match the natural colour of your teeth, providing a virtually invisible restoration. They bond directly to the tooth structure, providing excellent support and a natural appearance.
If you're experiencing tooth sensitivity, pain when biting, or notice dark spots on your teeth, you may have a cavity that needs attention. Early treatment prevents the cavity from growing larger and potentially requiring more extensive (and costly) procedures like root canals or crowns.
Cavities don't always cause immediate pain. Here are the signs to watch for:
Tooth Sensitivity — Sharp pain when eating or drinking hot, cold, or sweet items.
Visible Holes or Pits — Dark spots, holes, or rough areas you can see or feel on a tooth.
Pain When Biting — Discomfort or pain when you bite down on food.
Spontaneous Toothache — Pain that comes on without any trigger, especially at night.
Food Getting Stuck — Food consistently getting stuck in or between certain teeth.
Staining or Discolouration — Brown, black, or white spots forming on a tooth surface.
If you notice any of these signs, don't wait — early treatment is simpler, less expensive, and more comfortable.
Book a Dental ExamGetting a dental filling is one of the most routine procedures in dentistry. At our Calgary NE clinic, we ensure the process is as comfortable and stress-free as possible.
We apply a local anaesthetic to numb the area around the affected tooth, so you won't feel discomfort during the procedure.
Using precision instruments, we carefully remove the decayed portion of the tooth, leaving only healthy tooth structure.
The composite resin is applied in layers, each hardened with a special curing light. We sculpt the material to match your tooth's natural contour.
We check your bite to ensure perfect alignment, then polish the filling for a smooth, natural finish that blends with your surrounding teeth.
