Why are dental fillings necessary?

Fillings are a common dental procedure use to restore tooth cavities. If you fell a hole in your tooth or if it has been sensitive to cold, most likely you will need a filling! We colour match our fillings to the natural colour of your tooth, so you wouldn't even know it was there. We also offer safe removal and replacement of silver amalgam fillings with modern tooth coloured fillings.

Types of Dental Fillings

Popular Types of Dental Fillings

Gone are the days of silver fillings. Our clinic offers options to suit your needs. We can get you in and out quickly while restoring your smile. Our dentists provide the following:

Ceramic fillings

These porcelain fillings are attractive and durable. They cost more but resist staining and abrasion, blending in well.
Composite fillings

Tooth-coloured fillings contain silica, glass quartz, and ceramic particles in a resin base. After preparation, the filling bonds and is set with a light.
Gold fillings

These fillings, known as onlays or inlays, contain copper and a gold alloy. They are durable, lasting over 20 years, but are also the most expensive.
Porcelain fillings

Porcelain is durable and features a mix of silicone and oxygen to form noncrystalline glass. We can shade them to match your tooth color.
Temporary tooth fillings

This temporary treatment helps restore your damaged tooth. These fillings are a semi-permanent fix for dental emergencies. Book a permanent filling appointment.

Anesthesia

Before filling, the dentist administers anesthesia to numb the affected tooth area, using either a local injection or topical application.
Placing the filling

After prepping the tooth, the dentist places filling material into the decayed area, layering and shaping it to fit.
Removing Decay

Once numb, the dentist will drill to remove decayed parts of the tooth, creating a clean space for the filling.
Polishing the filling

After placing the filling, the dentist smooths and polishes it to look and feel natural. Special instruments and materials are used for the finish.

Aftercare for Dental Fillings

01
Avoid hard or sticky foods

After filling, you may feel numbness. Avoid hot or cold food and drinks until it wears off to prevent burns or damage.
02
Maintain good oral hygiene

After the filling procedure, it is important to maintain good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing regularly. This can help prevent any further decay or damage to the teeth, and keep the filling intact.
03
Visiting the dentist for regular checkups

Dental fillings are safe, but monitor for sensitivity, pain, or swelling. If you notice these, contact your dentist for a follow-up.
