Smile Point Dental offers tooth-coloured dental fillings in Oakville for cavities, cracks, and damaged teeth. The composite bonds to the tooth and matches its natural shade. It restores normal chewing function and looks like the teeth beside it. Treatment is handled by Dr. Vida Siar, who has over 25 years of experience and is registered with the RCDSO, CDA, and ODA. Our clinic is on Cornwall Road, with evening and Saturday appointments for patients who need them.

Dental fillings are a simple and effective way to repair teeth that have been damaged by cavities, cracks, or everyday wear and tear. They not only help stop tooth decay from spreading but also restore your tooth’s strength and functionality. With fillings, you can chew comfortably and protect the long-term health of your teeth.
At Smile Point Dental, we match the filling material to the tooth and to your budget. If you have a cavity or want to stop early decay before it spreads, a filling repairs the tooth and keeps it working normally. The result looks natural and holds up to everyday chewing.
Cavities don’t always hurt in the early stages, which is why many patients are surprised when their dentist spots one during a routine exam. Catching decay early means a quick, simple filling instead of a root canal or crown later. Watch for these common warning signs:
Choosing dental fillings at Smile Point Dental means prioritizing your oral health and overall comfort. Key benefits include:
| Material | Appearance | Typical Lifespan | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Composite | Tooth-coloured | 7–10 years | Visible teeth and most cavities |
| Glass ionomer | Tooth-coloured | 5 years or less | Baby teeth, small non-load areas, root surfaces |
| Amalgam (silver) | Silver | 10–15 years | Back molars under heavy chewing |
| Ceramic | Tooth-coloured | 15 years or more | Visible teeth, patients with sensitivities |
| Gold | Gold | 20 years or more | Back teeth, longest-lasting option |
A new filling needs a little extra attention in the first few weeks while it settles. The local anesthetic typically wears off within 1 to 3 hours, so avoid chewing on the treated side until the numbness is fully gone. Mild sensitivity to cold or pressure for 1 to 2 weeks is normal, but if it lasts longer than 4 weeks or you feel sharp pain when biting, give us a call. To extend the life of your filling:
Our dentists assess your tooth and recommend the best filling material.
The decayed or damaged portion is removed, and the tooth is cleaned.
The chosen material is applied, shaped, and hardened using advanced techniques.
The filling is polished for a smooth finish and perfect fit.
At Smile Point Dental, dental fillings range from $210 to $500. The exact cost depends on the size of the cavity and the filling material you choose. Our pricing is adjusted to the Ontario Dental Association Fee Guide. Most fillings take 15 to 45 minutes and are completed in a single visit. We bill your insurance directly whenever possible, and the team will explain your out-of-pocket cost before treatment begins.
Dr. Vida Siar has placed fillings in Oakville for over 25 years and is registered with the RCDSO, CDA, and ODA. Every restoration follows the same clinical standard, including a small composite or a full replacement of an old filling.
We place tooth-coloured composite for visible and most back teeth. Composite fillings usually last around 7 to 10 years, and amalgam (silver) fillings can last 10 to 15 years. Health Canada and the CDA both consider amalgam safe for adults, though we use composite in nearly all cases because it bonds to the tooth and matches its colour. If you have an older amalgam filling that is intact, there is no medical reason to replace it.
Dr. Vida Siar has practised dentistry for over 25 years and has treated patients in Ontario since 2013. She graduated from Melli University in Iran and is NDEB-certified in Canada. Patients often describe her work as light-handed, and her numbing technique means most people feel little to no discomfort during a filling.
She places tooth-coloured composite, amalgam, and ceramic fillings, most in a single visit. Dr. Siar is a member in good standing with the RCDSO, the Canadian Dental Association, and the Ontario Dental Association.
Most fillings are completed in a single visit lasting between 15 and 45 minutes. You can return to your normal routine right after. We offer evening and Saturday appointments to make scheduling easy.
Fillings at Smile Point Dental range from $210 to $500 per tooth depending on the material and cavity size. Our pricing follows the Ontario Dental Association (ODA) fee guide,so the rate matches the published guide.
Yes, we are a registered Canadian Dental Care Plan provider in Oakville. Eligible patients can use their CDCP benefits toward dental fillings and we handle the billing directly on your behalf.
Composite fillings typically last 7 to 10 years, while amalgam can last 10 to 15 years. Modern composites are strong enough for most cavities. For very large fillings in back teeth, your dentist may suggest amalgam or a ceramic inlay for extra durability.
Yes, mild sensitivity for a few days is completely normal as the tooth settles. It usually resolves within one to two weeks. If sensitivity lasts longer than that or you feel pain when biting, give us a call so we can check the fit of the filling.
Most fillings take 15 to 45 minutes and are completed in a single visit. Smaller composite fillings are usually done in about 20 minutes, while larger or molar fillings may take closer to 45. You can return to your normal routine the same day.
Yes. A filling itself does not decay, but a new cavity can form at the edge where the filling meets the tooth, often called recurrent decay. It usually happens when the seal breaks down over time or plaque builds up along that margin. We check the margins of older fillings at each exam and replace one if decay has started underneath.
Often, yes. If the fillings are in the same area of the mouth, we can usually treat them under one round of anaesthetic in a single appointment. If they are spread across different quadrants, we may split them over two visits to avoid numbing your whole mouth at once.
