Teeth Decay

A missing or damaged tooth can do more than just make chewing uncomfortable. Depending on its location, it can have aesthetic implications and also cause alignment issues with your other teeth. If you're in need of tooth restoration, come to Ansarian Dental Clinic. As an established dental practice in Toronto, ON, we offer our patients a variety of options for restorative dentistry and treatment.

When it comes to restorative dentistry, we don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. That's why we make it our business to treat patients like individuals and evaluate them thoroughly, one mouth at a time. Once we get a chance to assess your condition, we'll recommend a restorative dentistry solution designed specifically for you. And because we want you to be fully comfortable moving forward with treatment, we'll be happy to answer any questions you have along the way.

Dental amalgam is widely used because of the ease of fabricating the plastic material into rigid direct fillings, completed in single appointment, with acceptable strength, hardness, corrosion, and toxicity properties. It is more forgiving of preparation and technique than composite resins used for that purpose. High copper dental amalgam is preferred over conventional dental amalgam as it has better corrosion resistance and less susceptible to creep. Amalgam is now mainly used for posterior teeth. Although the mercury in cured amalgam is not available as free mercury, concern of its toxicity has existed since the invention of amalgam as a dental material. It is banned or restricted in Norway, Sweden and Finland. See Dental Amalgam Controversy.
