Dental Fillings Edmonton

At Hudson Dental in Edmonton, we offer mercury-free, tooth-coloured fillings to repair cavities and protect your teeth in a safe, natural-looking way. Our goal is to preserve healthy tooth structure and help you keep a comfortable, confident smile.

What are mercury-free fillings?

Mercury-free fillings are non-amalgam restorations that do not contain mercury. At Hudson Dental, we use composite resin fillings. They are tooth-coloured, metal-free, and bond directly to your tooth. Composite materials are made from safe plastic and glass components and can be matched to your natural tooth shade.

Why choose mercury-free fillings?

Natural appearance: Matches the colour of your tooth, so fillings blend in.
Preserves tooth structure: Often requires less drilling than traditional metal fillings.
Strong bond: Composite material bonds to the tooth and helps support it.
Versatile: Can repair cavities as well as chips or worn areas.

Procedure for a mercury-free filling

Getting a composite filling at Hudson Dental is a straightforward process:

Comfort first: We numb the area with a local anaesthetic.
Remove decay: The decayed portion of the tooth is removed carefully.
Clean the tooth: Any debris or bacteria are removed.
Place the filling: Composite resin is applied in layers and hardened with a curing light.
Shape and polish: We shape the filling and polish it to match your bite and feel comfortable.

Aftercare & recovery

To keep your filling and surrounding teeth healthy:

Brush at least twice daily with fluoride toothpaste.
Floss once a day.
Limit sugary snacks and drinks.
Attend routine checkups and cleanings so we can monitor your fillings.

How composite resin helps your tooth

Composite resin fillings bond directly to the tooth, offering added support and a tight seal. They maintain their shape and appearance and, when cared for, provide long-term protection against further decay.
