Restore your smile with confidence
At our North York dental clinic, fillings are one of the most common procedures we perform, and for good reason. They stop cavities from progressing, reduce tooth sensitivity, and help you avoid more invasive treatments like root canals or extractions. Dr. Natasha uses advanced composite resin that bonds securely to your tooth, requires less drilling, and looks just like your natural enamel.
Unlike traditional metal fillings, composite resin preserves more of your healthy tooth and offers strong, durable results with a beautiful, lifelike finish.
Why get a filling even if your tooth doesn’t hurt?
Cavities don’t always cause pain at first, which is why many patients delay treatment. But the earlier we treat decay, the better the outcome. Here’s what fillings can help you avoid:
- Worsening decay and deep cavities.
- Infections or painful abscesses.
- Tooth fractures or breakage.
- Sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweets.
- Expensive treatments like dental crowns or root canals.
- Tooth loss and damage to your natural smile.
A small filling today can help you avoid big problems tomorrow.
What to expect during your filling appointment
Gentle Freezing
First, we’ll gently numb the area to ensure a pain-free experience. Our team takes the time to make you feel at ease every step of the way.
Cleaning and Filling
Once you’re comfortable, we’ll remove any decay, prep the area, and apply a bonding gel. Then, we shape and layer tooth-coloured composite resin to rebuild the tooth.
Hardening and Polishing
We cure the resin using a special LED light to harden the material. After final touches and polishing, your filling is complete and your tooth is restored.
Insurance-Friendly Dental Fillings in Toronto
Most insurance plans cover composite fillings because they’re such a common and preventative treatment. If you have coverage, your out-of-pocket cost may range from $0–$100+. We also accept the Canadian Dental Care Plan. Without insurance, you can expect a cost between $120–$300 or more, depending on:
- The number of fillings you need
- Where the cavity is located
- X-rays or additional diagnostics
- The materials and time required
We’re here to make the process smooth and affordable, because protecting your smile shouldn’t be a burden.
