Book Filling AppointmentYou're Here Because You Need It Fixed
You're experiencing sharp pain when chewing, sensitivity to hot or cold, or you've noticed a visible hole or dark spot on your tooth. Maybe food keeps getting stuck in the same place. You know it's a cavity, and you're ready to get it fixed before it gets worse.
Here's How We Fix Your Cavity
Most composite fillings are completed in a single visit. We start with local anaesthetic to ensure you're completely comfortable, you won't feel pain during the procedure. Once the area is numb, we remove the decay, clean the cavity thoroughly, and apply composite resin in layers.
Each layer is cured with a UV light to harden it. We then shape and polish the filling to match your natural tooth contour and bite. The composite resin is colour-matched to your tooth, so it blends in naturally, not silver or metal like traditional amalgam fillings.
The entire appointment takes 30-60 minutes depending on the cavity size. You can eat normally within 24 hours once the anaesthetic wears off. Same-day treatment is available for most cases.
The Cost of Waiting
A composite filling costs $200-$400. A root canal and crown costs $2,500-$3,500. Cavities don't heal,they only get bigger. Bacteria spreads deeper into the tooth structure, and once the infection reaches the nerve, a root canal becomes the only option. The decay can also spread to adjacent teeth. Every month you wait means more damage and higher costs. What starts as a simple filling can become a complex and expensive procedure if left untreated.
Why Composite Fillings Work
Immediate Pain Relief
Stops sensitivity and discomfort right away. Most patients experience immediate relief once the cavity is filled.
Natural Appearance
Tooth-coloured composite resin is matched to your natural tooth shade. No visible metal fillings.
Preserves Tooth Structure
Requires less drilling than amalgam fillings, preserving more of your natural tooth structure.
Long-Lasting
Lasts 10-15 years with proper oral hygiene and regular dental checkups.
CDCP Coverage
Composite fillings are covered under the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) at 50-80% for eligible patients based on adjusted family net income. Coverage is available once per tooth surface per 24 months. Most private insurance plans also cover fillings at approximately 80%. We'll verify your coverage before treatment and provide a detailed cost estimate so there are no surprises.

Book Filling AppointmentDental Fact
Composite resin technology has evolved significantly since the 1960s. Today's composite fillings use advanced materials that bond directly to tooth structure and last 10-15 years with proper care. The resin is cured with UV light in seconds, allowing for same-day treatment. Modern composites are strong enough for both front and back teeth, making them a versatile solution for cavity repair.
