Composite fillings near Erin
Tooth-colored cavity and chip repairs for patients near Erin.
Patients from Erin can visit Ironwood Dental in Guelph for composite fillings that repair decay, small chips, worn edges, and old fillings that need attention.
Why Erin patients ask about composite fillings
A tooth-colored filling can repair the problem area without a larger restoration when the tooth allows it.
Patients from Erin may need composite for a new cavity, a broken filling, or a tooth edge that has chipped.
We assess the tooth carefully because deep decay or heavy bite pressure may change the recommendation.
When composite is appropriate, it is placed and refined so the repair feels comfortable and blends with the tooth.

What to expect at your composite filling visit visit.
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
Tooth-colored material is bonded in layers, shaped to restore the missing area, and hardened.
Polish and check the bite
We smooth the filling, refine the shape, and check that your bite feels comfortable before you leave.
