At Dunbar Dental Centre, we specialize in offering metal-free fillings, known for their strength and aesthetic appeal, blending seamlessly with the natural color of your teeth. Fillings become necessary when decay is identified, either during a routine dental exam with x-rays or when you experience sensitivity. Catching decay early often allows for more conservative treatment, resulting in less extensive work and preserving more of the natural tooth structure. In cases where decay is detected early, fillings can be applied with minimal intervention, ideally before any sensitivity develops. However, experiencing pain is usually a sign that more comprehensive treatment may be needed. Our focus is on ensuring your oral health is maintained with the most effective, visually appealing solutions.
