What is Dental Filling?
Dental fillings are the treatment for restoring and treating decayed and broken teeth, replacement of old/chipped fillings, build-up for restoring non-carious tooth wear and filling in small gaps between the teeth in order to improve their strength, function and shape. Many patients also suffer from sensitivity of the teeth due to loss of enamel, which can also be improved significantly with the placement of a dental filling. Our dental filling services ensure timely intervention to protect your smile.

What is the Procedure of getting a Filling?
Dental filling is done by drilling and removing out the carious or damaged tooth structure and the area is cleaned to remove bacteria and debris and restoring/filling it with tooth colored filling material, back to their normal function and shape. A special curing light is used to set the filling material, making it very hard and durable against normal biting forces.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need a filling?
You may need a filling if you have:
- A cavity (tooth decay)
- Tooth sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods
- A chipped or cracked tooth
- Tooth pain or discomfort
- A worn-down filling that needs replacement
A dental examination and X-rays can help determine if a filling is needed.
Does getting a filling hurt?
Most patients experience little to no discomfort during the procedure. Local anesthesia is typically used to numb the area, ensuring a comfortable treatment experience.
How long does a dental filling procedure take?
Most fillings can be completed in a single appointment, usually within 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size and location of the cavity.
How long do dental fillings last?
The lifespan of a filling depends on the material used and your oral habits. Composite fillings typically last 5–10 years or longer with proper care.
Can I eat after getting a filling?
Yes. If you received local anesthesia, it’s best to wait until the numbness wears off before eating. Composite fillings harden immediately, so you can generally eat shortly after treatment unless otherwise advised.
Are tooth-colored fillings safe?
Yes. Tooth-colored composite fillings are safe, durable, and designed to blend naturally with your teeth for an attractive appearance.
What happens if I don't treat a cavity?
Untreated cavities can become larger and deeper, leading to pain, infection, root canal treatment, or even tooth loss. Early treatment with a filling helps prevent more extensive dental problems.
Will my filling look natural?
Yes. Modern composite fillings are matched to the color of your natural teeth, making them virtually unnoticeable.
Can old fillings be replaced?
Yes. Worn, cracked, leaking, or damaged fillings can be removed and replaced to protect your tooth and maintain oral health.
How can I prevent cavities in the future?
You can reduce your risk of cavities by:
- Brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste
- Flossing every day
- Limiting sugary foods and drinks
- Attending regular dental checkups and cleanings
- Following your dentist’s preventive care recommendations
Are dental fillings covered under the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP)?
Coverage may be available for eligible patients under the CDCP. Our team can help verify your eligibility and explain your coverage details before treatment.
What should I do if my filling falls out or feels loose?
Contact our office as soon as possible. A loose or missing filling can leave your tooth vulnerable to further decay, sensitivity, or damage and should be evaluated promptly.
How often should dental fillings be checked?
Dental fillings should be examined during your regular dental checkups. Your dentist will monitor their condition and recommend replacement if signs of wear or damage are detected.
