Dental Fillings & Bonding in Kanata

Restore your teeth with natural-looking, tooth-colored fillings and cosmetic bonding at MYsmile Dental in Kanata. Whether you're treating a cavity or correcting a cosmetic flaw, our modern materials blend seamlessly with your smile—without metal or mercury.

What Are Dental Fillings?

Dental fillings are used to restore teeth affected by cavities, fractures, or wear. At MYsmile Dental, we use composite resin (tooth-colored) materials for strong, durable, and aesthetic restorations—no silver or metal required.

We use fillings to:

  • Repair cavities caused by decay

  • Restore chipped or worn teeth

  • Replace old amalgam (metal) fillings

  • Protect teeth from further damage

Our fillings are carefully color-matched to your surrounding enamel and sculpted to look and feel like part of your natural tooth.

What Is Dental Bonding?

Dental bonding is a cosmetic procedure that uses the same composite material as fillings—but for aesthetic improvements rather than decay repair.

Bonding is ideal for:

  • Small chips or cracks

  • Minor gaps between teeth

  • Irregular or uneven edges

  • Teeth that are discolored or misshapen

  • Covering exposed roots from gum recession

It's a fast, conservative solution often completed in just one visit—with no drilling or anesthesia needed.

Dental Fillings vs. Bonding

If you're unsure which treatment you need, our team will assess your tooth and walk you through the options clearly and honestly.

What to Expect During Treatment

  1. Examination & Diagnosis
    We'll examine your teeth, take X-rays if needed, and determine if a filling or bonding is appropriate.

  2. Tooth Preparation
    For fillings, decayed tissue is gently removed. For bonding, we lightly roughen the enamel to help the material adhere.

  3. Composite Placement
    We apply and shape the composite resin in layers, curing it with a special light.

  4. Finishing & Polishing
    The material is trimmed, adjusted for bite comfort, and polished to blend naturally with your smile.

We focus on precision and comfort, using gentle techniques and anesthetic when necessary.
