Other restoration choices include inlays, onlays or dental crowns.<\/p>\n<p>The selection of filling material is also based on its purpose. An inlay, onlay, dental crown or porcelain crown is a good solution for a large back-tooth cavity, whereas a white filling is typically a better solution for filling a smaller cavity or treating your front teeth. White resin is also used widely in cosmetic dental procedures and dental bonding.<\/p>\n\t<p>You may require a filling to be placed at our Calgary clinic if you have a tooth with a cavity, a minor fracture, tooth wear or erosion.<\/p>\n<h2>\n\t\tAre composite fillings entirely safe?\n\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t<p>The material used to create a composite (white) tooth filling is not entirely free of controversy. The white resin used in a composite tooth filling is part of the broad family of plastics similar to Bisphenol A (BPA), which has been reported to have detrimental health effects. Your dentist will explain your options to you in detail, so you may decide which filling option is best for you.<\/p>\n\t<p>It&#8217;s important to catch cavities early<\/p>\n\t<p>The benefit of treating cavities early is we can gently remove the cavity with air abrasion, so it is a pain free, no needle, no drill cavity removal!<\/p>\n<p>The video shows a very conservative and preventative approach to addressing pit and fissure cavities.<\/p>\n\t<meta itemprop=\"url\" content=\"https:\/\/ambiancedental.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Cavity-Voiceover-05.2021.mp4\" \/><div style=\"width: 640px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><!--[if lt IE 9]><script>document.createElement('video');<\/script><![endif]-->\n<video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-213-1\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/ambiancedental.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Cavity-Voiceover-05.2021.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/ambiancedental.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Cavity-Voiceover-05.2021.mp4\">https:\/\/ambiancedental.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Cavity-Voiceover-05.2021.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<h2>\n\t\tWe&#8217;d love to meet you!\n\t<\/h2>\n<p>New patients are always welcome!\u00a0 Let&#8217;s discuss your dental health <em>together<\/em>.<\/p>\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/dental4.me\/ambiancedental\/1\" target=\"_self\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Book an Appointment\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tBook an Appointment\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t<p>&hellip;or come in for a <a href=\"https:\/\/ambiancedental.ca\/meet-and-greet\/\">Meet &amp; Greet<\/a> first.<\/p>\n\t<p>Back to <a href=\"https:\/\/ambiancedental.ca\/calgary-dentistry\/\">General Dentistry<\/a> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/ambiancedental.ca\/calgary-cosmetic-dentistry\/\">Cosmetic Dentistry<\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"\/calgary-dental-crowns\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t<h5>Related: Dental Crowns<\/h5>\n\t\t\t<p>Learn More<\/p>\t\t\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"\/calgary-inlays-and-onlays\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t<h5>Related: Inlays and onlays<\/h5>\n\t\t\t<p>Learn More<\/p>\t\t\n\t\t<\/a>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Services Preventive Hygiene You can keep your teeth and gums healthy by brushing regularly, flossing, and visiting our Calgary clinic for regular hygiene appointments.
