Make Teeth Look And Feel Natural Again

Dental fillings are one of the most common procedures we perform. They restore and repair teeth, preventing further decay or infection that could lead to more extensive treatments. We use tooth-coloured composite resin fillings that bond well with the tooth, allowing us to fill smaller spaces and reduce the need for drilling.

Why Are Fillings So Important?

We understand that getting a filling can seem daunting, and it’s normal to feel unsure about needing one. But don’t worry, we’re here to make the process as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Fillings are important for several reasons:

  • Stop cavities from getting bigger
  • Prevent painful infections or abscesses
  • Strengthen and restore the durability of weakened teeth
  • Save you money by avoiding more extensive treatments
  • Reduce sensitivity to hot and cold
  • Help preserve your natural smile for longer

How is a cavity filled?

Gentle Freezing

First, we numb your gums and gently freeze the area to ensure you’re comfortable. This step helps you feel little to no discomfort during the procedure.

Filling the Tooth

Once you’re comfortably frozen, we clean and prep the tooth. We apply an adhesive gel, then mold and sculpt composite resin (white filling material) to match your tooth’s contours and bite.

Curing the Composite

The composite resin is quickly hardened with a special LED light. The dentist will then examine the tooth and make any necessary adjustments before polishing it to perfection.

The Cost of a Filling in Thornhill

Fillings are common dental procedures that help prevent and address dental issues, and are often well-covered by insurance plans. Under a typical insurance plan, the cost for fillings can range from $0 to $100 or more. If you don’t have dental insurance, you can expect to pay around $120 to $300, or more, especially if multiple fillings are needed in a single session.

When determining the cost of your treatment, we consider a few key factors:

  • Your current oral health
  • The number of fillings needed
  • The location of the cavity in your mouth
  • Whether new X-rays are required
  • The time needed by the dental team
  • The equipment and supplies required

Prompt treatment for cavities is important to us. Fillings help prevent the need for more invasive procedures, reduce dental pain, and contribute to your overall well-being. By addressing cavities quickly, we ensure optimal dental care and maintain your oral health. Our goal is to offer preventive care that improves your quality of life and supports a lasting, healthy smile.

Your consultation will include an examination of everything from your teeth, gums and soft tissues to the shape and condition of your bite. Generally, we want to see how your whole mouth looks and functions. Before we plan your treatment we want to know everything about the health and aesthetic of your smile, and, most importantly, what you want to achieve so we can help you get there.

Frequently Asked Questions

With proper care, including daily brushing, flossing, and regular checkups, fillings can last over ten years.

Over-the-counter products can temporarily fill cavities, but they are not a permanent solution. Cavities require professional treatment to prevent tooth loss and abscesses.

If the pain is severe, contact us immediately for guidance and an appointment. For temporary relief, apply a cold compress and take pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen, following the instructions carefully. Keep track of the medication and dosage to share with us during your visit.

An extremely satisfying visit here at Disera Dental Clinic. Hands down one of the best treatments that have I ever received. The entire staff is very welcoming and always made me feel like family. I checked in, watched some TV and then I was shortly seen by Dr. Ali.The equipment and gadgets they use all looked high tech and brand new. You even get to watch a movie or a show of your choice while Dr. Ali's hands are laying down some magic. The entire clinic is so clean and modern. The most important thing I have to say, is that Dr. Ali is one of the most exemplary healthcare providers that I have had the pleasure of experiencing. Dr. Ali has very light and skillful hands which provides the most comfortable experience no matter what type of procedure I got done. I got my cavities filled, deep cleaning and in-office whitening. Dr. Ali makes sure to ask if I am satisfied with the results before we conclude every visit. He will make sure you get the results you want no matter how long it will take. It is his attention to details, his concern with results, and patience are what attracted me to come back. Overall, the service is excellent and every visit is worth it. Plus they give you a goody bag with travel size toothbrush, toothpaste, dental floss, and mouth wash. Also, parking is never an issue.
