Tooth-coloured fillings and durable children's crowns to restore damaged or decayed teeth, gently and comfortably. Waterdown: (289) 799-3355.
When decay has gone past the point where it can be arrested, the tooth needs restoring. Done well, and with a child who has been properly prepared, this is a straightforward and comfortable appointment. We explain each step in advance using words that do not frighten children, and we use topical anaesthetic before any freezing so the first sensation is never a sharp one.
Composite fillings are bonded directly into the cleaned cavity and matched to the natural shade of the tooth. They are mercury-free, conserve more healthy tooth structure than older materials, and are essentially invisible. Most single fillings take fifteen to twenty minutes.

A large filling in a small tooth simply fails. A crown lasts until the tooth is lost naturally, which saves your child from repeat treatment.
