Composite fillings near Kitchener
Tooth-colored repairs for cavities and everyday tooth damage.
Patients from Kitchener can visit Ironwood Dental in Guelph for composite fillings that repair decay, chips, worn edges, and small areas of damaged tooth structure.
Why Kitchener patients ask about composite fillings
A filling can solve a small problem before it becomes a bigger repair.
Patients from Kitchener may need composite when a cavity is caught early or a tooth edge chips during daily use.
We check whether the tooth is strong enough for a filling and whether the nerve appears healthy.
When composite is the right fit, the repair is shaped so the tooth feels smooth when speaking, flossing, and chewing.

Your appointment
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.
