Get clarity before your consultation.
Prevention is always less expensive (and more comfortable) than repairing damage. Many dental problems, such as early decay and gum disease, are “silent” and offer few warning signs until they are advanced. Regular visits allow us to monitor your oral health and catch these issues early, stopping them before they become big trouble.
The difference is the extent of the damage. A tooth-coloured filling is used to repair decay that impacts only a small portion of the tooth. If you have severe damage or a large crack, you will likely need a dental crown. A crown fits securely over the remaining structure, completely covering the tooth like a protective helmet to restore its strength.
While general guidelines often suggest age one, at South Coast Dental, we find that children often have the best experience starting around three years old. At this age, we can take a look to ensure development is on target while creating positive feelings. Our goal is to make the appointment fun so your child looks forward to visiting us.
Years ago, silver amalgam was the standard. Today, we prefer composite (white) fillings because they match your natural tooth colour, won’t leak over time, and are metal-free. If your old fillings are intact, you don’t have to replace them. However, if you want a more aesthetic, natural-looking smile, ask us about upgrading to composite restorations.
