Airdrie Dental Fillings with a Smile and a Guarantee
Advancement in dentistry has allowed us to have tooth colored filling material that is not only esthetic, but strong and durable. While silver fillings have gotten a bad rep for their mercury content, there is no good evidence to show that they need to be replaced for that reason, as the mercury is not in the elemental form which is when it is health risk. However if you would like to have them replaced for esthetic reasons, Dr. Parsa would be happy to help.
Fillings are the typical fix for small- to medium- sized cavities and can be also be used if you have a relatively small fracture in your tooth. Fillings also close off spaces where bacteria can enter, so getting holes and fractures fixed are important for preventing further decay.
When you meet with Dr. Parsa she will discuss with you whether a filling will solve your dental issue, and explain other options if need be. If the cavity or fracture is larger, Dr. Parsa may recommend a dental crown, bridge or implant.
Your comfort is our priority. We have patient neck pillows and blankets so that you can get your dental work done comfortably.

What You Need to Know
At Yankee Valley Dental, we primarily use white fillings; however, silver fillings may be more appropriate in certain situations. Gold and porcelain inlays and onlays (partial coverage crowns) may be more suitable for some situations. Dr. Parsa will sit with you to discuss your options and the pros and cons. Your choice will depend on the location of the tooth and personal preferences.
Dr. Parsa takes out all traces of the cavity or decayed tooth material and cleans the affected area. If the decay is near the root, Dr. Parsa may put in a liner to protect the nerve. She will then insert the filling material in thin layers to rebuild the structure of your tooth. A Blue Dental Curing Light is used to set the filling material and make it hard. In the last steps, Dr. Parsa will adjust your bite and polish the filling to make sure that your bite fit together nicely and that you don’t have any rough areas or pain points.
Dental fillings can be used to restore and strengthen decayed teeth. They may also be used to improve an individual’s smile, where teeth have been discoloured or shortened due to wear. This is not generally viewed as ‘elective’ or ‘cosmetic’ treatment and hence more insurances will cover it under basic treatment.
