Tooth-Coloured Fillings in St. Albert, AB

Overview

Restorations That
Look Natural.

At Riverside Landing Dental in St. Albert, tooth-coloured (composite) fillings offer a natural-looking alternative to traditional metal amalgam — and we provide direct insurance billing to Manulife, Sun Life, Canada Life, Alberta Blue Cross, and other major providers. Made from a blend of ceramic and plastic that bonds directly to your tooth, composite fillings match the colour and translucency of your existing teeth so closely that most people won't even know they're there.

Unlike amalgam, which is darker and more noticeable, composite resin restores the tooth discreetly while actually strengthening it through chemical bonding. This makes them an excellent choice for repairing chips, cracks, and areas of decay — on both front and back teeth.

After the procedure, most patients return to their normal routine immediately. Some minor temperature sensitivity is normal at first, but it typically fades within a week or two.

Advantages Over Amalgam Fillings

  • Matches your natural tooth color exactly
  • Bonds directly to the tooth for added strength
  • Less tooth structure removal required
  • No dark metallic appearance
  • Can repair chips, cracks, and small breaks
  • Safe for patients with metal sensitivities

FAQ

Common
Questions

Most patients with cavities or small chips are good candidates. At Riverside Landing Dental in St. Albert, your dentist will assess the size and location of the decay to determine the best restoration for your specific situation.

Local anaesthesia is used to numb the area. Decay is removed, and the composite resin is applied in layers, hardened with a UV light, then shaped and polished to match your bite.

Brush and floss normally. Composite can stain from coffee, tea, or dark foods over time — if this concerns you, your dentist can discuss polishing or replacement options.

With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups at Riverside Landing Dental, composite fillings can last 7–10 years or more.
