Amalgam Fillings Chilliwack

Amalgam fillings are capable of lasting for quite a few years, but ultimately will corrode and tarnish. As soon as this takes place, the tooth and the restoration will begin to move away from each other leaving the area open to germs that may enter the opening and cause damage and corrosion below the restoration. After this is uncovered, your amalgam filling will need to be pulled and substituted with a porcelain filling.

One of the great benefits of ceramic white dental restorations is that they attach directly to the tooth, making them noticeably stronger than silver amalgam restorations. In addition, less of the tooth needs to be removed in preparation for the bonding process, thereby preserving more of the existing tooth.

Ceramic fillings are more often utilized in situations where there is only a minute amount of tension on the tooth and the deterioration is mild to moderate. When the deterioration is too serious and there is not sufficient anatomy on the tooth remaining, a dental crown may be required to help deal with the full forces of biting and chewing.

If multiple silver fillings are existing, it is optimal to replace a couple of silver fillings at a time rather than performing the procedure multiple times. The silver amalgam restorations are pulled with a dental hand tool and the exteriors of the tooth are carefully cleaned before the tooth-coloured replacement restoration is placed. This ceramic restoration is professionally shaped and contoured to resemble a natural tooth and to fit the bite.
