White fillings used to restore the function of teeth that have dental decay, have been damaged from trauma and may be used as a cosmetic dentistry option for cosmetic bonding treatments. At South Calgary Dental & Orthodontics, we are pleased to offer only white dental fillings, here in our SE Calgary Dental Practice.
Your Choice for SE Calgary Dental Crowns & Fillings in Legacy
Traditional dental filling materials, which are best known as silver fillings, may not be the most aesthetically pleasing option to you for restoring the function of your teeth. White filling materials have been used for over 20 years, and many patients prefer white fillings over silver fillings for many reasons. After your Legacy dentist prepares your tooth, he will place the white filling material in thin layers, to rebuild the structure of your tooth. A special light is used to completely set the white filling material making it very hard and durable against normal biting forces. Your dentist will shape and polish the white filling for a smooth finish and so it bites together correctly against the opposing teeth.

The Benefits of White Fillings
The most obvious benefit of white fillings is the aesthetic results that Your dentist is able to achieve because he can blend different shades of white filling material to match the natural remaining tooth structure.
White filling material bonds directly to the tooth remaining tooth structure, reducing the instance of breakage and to insulate the tooth from temperature changes.
The Benefits of Dental Crowns
Dental Crowns are considered a reliable dental restoration that are used to restore the function of teeth that have large restorations or have had root canal treatment. At South Calgary Dental & Orthodontics, we are pleased to offer all-ceramic dental crowns to restore function while maintaining the natural aesthetics of your teeth.
They are also the preferred treatment option for teeth that have fillings that become larger than the natural tooth structure. In addition to large fillings, teeth that have undergone root canal therapy and teeth that suffer from reoccurring tooth decay benefit from SE Calgary Dental Crowns.
Dental Crowns are custom made using a variety of materials. Dr. Angela Sharma uses ceramic porcelain; Zirconia based porcelain, porcelain-fused-to-metal, full cast metal and traditional gold dental crowns and suggests the best type of dental crowns for your needs based on various factors such as aesthetics, where the crown is used in your mouth, your dental habits, conditions such as teeth grinding, and your personal preference. A complete assessment will is used to determine the best dental crown for your situation.
A Dental Crown is recommended when:
- You have a tooth that requires a filling that will exceed the natural tooth structure.
- Your teeth have extensive damage, tooth decay and/or fracture lines.
- Your teeth are discolored and have compromised tooth aesthetics.
- Your teeth have undergone Root Canal Therapy. After root canal therapy, teeth become brittle and are more susceptible to fracture. Root Canaled teeth need to be protected with dental crowns.
How All Ceramic Dental Crowns are Made
Your appointment for dental crowns involves shaping the tooth to fit your new crown. We obtain a detailed impression that is sent to our dental laboratory, where your custom crown is created by a professional lab technician.
We know that your smile is important to you and restoring the function of your teeth with our SE Calgary Dental Crowns is one of the many dental health services that we offer at South Calgary Dental & Orthodontics.
