Composite fillings near Cambridge
Tooth-colored filling care for patients near Cambridge.
Patients from Cambridge can visit Ironwood Dental in Guelph for composite fillings that repair cavities, small chips, worn edges, and failing old fillings.
Why Cambridge patients ask about composite fillings
Composite can be useful when the tooth needs repair without full coverage.
Patients from Cambridge may ask about fillings after an exam finds a cavity or an older filling starts feeling rough.
We check the tooth carefully because a filling works best when the remaining tooth is strong enough to support it.
The material is placed in layers and shaped to restore the missing area while keeping the bite comfortable.

Diagnosis and shade planning
We examine the tooth, review x-rays when needed, and choose a composite shade that blends with the surrounding tooth.
Prepare the tooth
Decay, rough edges, or damaged filling material are removed, and the tooth is prepared for bonding.
Place the composite
