We specialize in providing fast high-quality repairs for your fillings in Edmonton.
With the proper care, dental fillings can last for many years. Gold or amalgam fillings tend to last the longest, while composite fillings (which match the colour of your teeth) are less durable. However, composite fillings aren’t permanent. They can be dislodged or broken by hard foods, mouth injuries, or tooth decay. If you deal with bruxism (teeth grinding) or TMJ disorder, the filling will be under additional strain. What should you do if you break a composite filling? Even if you aren’t in immediate pain, broken composite fillings are a dental emergency. They can lead to a severe toothache, tooth infection, and even a lost tooth. At our emergency dental clinic, we offer dental restorations to repair a lost filling. Don’t deal with discomfort longer than you need to—call Edmonton Emergency Dentists to fix this issue ASAP.
Your comfort and well-being matter to us—let’s take care of your dental health together.
Common signs that your filling may be broken or lost include sensitivity or pain when biting down, feeling a rough or jagged edge with your tongue, noticing a hole or gap in the tooth where the filling used to be, or seeing a visible piece of filling material in your mouth.
The process of replacing a broken or lost filling typically involves removing any remaining filling material and decayed tooth structure, cleaning the cavity, and placing a new filling. Your dentist will select a suitable filling material based on the location and size of the cavity, such as amalgam, composite resin, or porcelain.
Our experienced Edmonton dentists offer emergency dental services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week so you don’t have to wait.
