Dental Fillings
Don’t delay: dental fillings protect your teeth from severe damage.
Our teeth are durable and work hard for us throughout our lives but even people who take excellent care of their teeth can get cavities and need fillings. If you have cavities, it’s important to treat them quickly.
What's a dental filling?
A dental filling protects teeth affected by cavities from further damage that could be caused if bacteria enter the tooth through a cavity.
We work with two excellent dental filling materials: composite fillings and porcelain - or ceramic. Both are tooth-coloured and invisible - we don’t use the old amalgam fillings you may remember.
What happens if I ignore a cavity?
Left alone, a cavity can cause serious problems and may even require a dental crown or root canal treatment, but tooth fillings can keep you protected for five to 10 years - especially if you keep up with your regular check-up and clean visits.
What kind of fillings do you use?
We believe in Holistic Dentistry. We use White composite fillings. All our fillings are BPA Free, Amalgam Free and Mercury Free.

Got Questions?
How long does a dental filling last?
The lifespan of a filling depends on the material used and your oral hygiene habits. Composite (tooth-coloured) fillings: Last 5–10 years with proper care. Amalgam (silver) fillings: Last 10–15 years or longer. Gold or porcelain fillings: Can last 15–20 years or more. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene help prolong the life of your fillings.
Will getting a dental filling hurt?
Getting a filling is generally not painful. The dentist will numb the area around the tooth with a local anesthetic to ensure you don’t feel discomfort during the procedure. You might feel slight pressure or vibration from the dental tools, but no pain. After the numbness wears off, there might be some sensitivity, but this typically subsides within a few days.
