Here at Georgian Shores Dental Centre, we are dedicated to restoring your confidence in your smile and restoring your teeth or keeping them healthy and beautiful with a variety of dental services. One of the services we offer is bonded fillings. You may think that bonded fillings are only used when you need a cavity filled, but this isn’t their only purpose. Here are a few other times when bonded fillings can be used.

When Are Bonded Fillings Used?

  • Damaged teeth: Whether you have a chipped or cracked tooth or the root of the tooth has been exposed due to receding gums, bonded fillings can be beneficial to resolve these damages and keep your teeth beautiful and protected once more.
  • You want to make your teeth more aesthetically pleasing: Bonded fillings can also be used for more cosmetic purposes, like filling a gap between teeth or helping to make the shape, length, or colour of one of your teeth more aesthetically pleasing.
  • Replace old fillings: Bonded fillings can also be used to replace old metal fillings to help you feel more confident in your teeth. The colour of the material used in bonded fillings is designed to match the colour of your teeth, so it looks more natural and allows you to smile more comfortably and confidently.

Bonded fillings are very versatile and can be great for many different uses beyond filling cavities, though they are great for that as well. You can give us a call if you would like to learn more.
