Ceramic Fillings Can Upgrade Your Smile & Strengthen Your Teeth

At Dr. George Daguiam Dentistry Awake or Asleep in Orillia, we know that ceramic fillings can not only protect a tooth that’s been weakened by decay, but because this material can be matched to your natural tooth shade, it also helps preserve your smiling and speaking confidence.

What are ceramic fillings made from?

Ceramic fillings are made from porcelain. A strong and durable material that’s also resistant to staining, it’s a strong and long-lasting material for dental restorations.

How are these fillings placed?

Ceramic fillings are bonded to your tooth using a special dental adhesive. Once the filling is in place, it will be polished to match the natural color of your tooth, preserving the beauty of your smile.

Beyond their aesthetic appeal, what additional benefits are associated with ceramic fillings?

There are many, including:

• They're a long-lasting solution: Ceramic fillings are very strong and durable. With proper care, they can last for many years.
• Improved stain and abrasion resistance: Ceramic fillings are highly resistant to staining and wear. This means they will keep your smile looking its best for a longer period.
• Worry-free safety: Ceramic fillings are made from a biocompatible material. This means they won’t cause allergic reactions.
• Rejuvenate your smile: Ceramic fillings can help to restore your smile by filling in gaps and correcting misshapen teeth. They can also be used to cover up dark fillings that have become visible over time.

Is anyone a candidate for ceramic fillings?

Ceramic fillings are a good option for anyone who wants to improve the aesthetics of their smile. They are also a good choice for people who have metal allergies or sensitivities.
