Tooth decay can compromise your oral health if left untreated. Dental fillings restore damaged areas and prevent decay from further spreading. At Bay Central Dental, we use tooth-coloured composite resin fillings that blend with your natural teeth for a seamless, durable result

Composite resin fillings bond directly to the tooth, which means less drilling and more preservation of your natural tooth structure. They are durable, aesthetically pleasing and suitable for front and back teeth.
Fillings are recommended for cavities, chipped teeth, worn enamel, sensitivity or replacement of older silver fillings (amalgam) that have deteriorated.
