What Are Dental Fillings, and Why Are They Important?

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.

Signs You May Need a Filling

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:

  • Sharp pain or sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods
  • A visible dark spot, hole, or pit on the tooth
  • Pain or pressure when biting down
  • Food consistently getting stuck in the same spot
  • A rough or chipped edge you can feel with your tongue
  • A lost, cracked, or loose existing filling
  • Persistent bad breath or an off taste near one tooth

Benefits of Fillings at Smile Point Dental

Benefits of Dental Fillings at Smile Point Dental

Choosing dental fillings at Smile Point Dental means prioritizing your oral health and overall comfort. Key benefits include:

  • Natural Appearance: Composite fillings blend perfectly with teeth
  • Durability: Our advanced materials are designed to last long
  • Quick Procedure: Most fillings are completed in a single visit
  • Pain-Free Treatment: Advanced techniques ensure no discomfort
  • Long-Lasting Protection: A sealed tooth resists further decay

Types of Fillings We Offer at Smile Point Dental

Composite Fillings (Tooth-Coloured)

Composite fillings are made from a tooth-coloured resin that matches the natural shade of your teeth. Unlike silver amalgam, composite resin bonds directly to the tooth structure, which means less healthy tooth material is removed during the procedure. The material hardens under a curing light, so you can eat and drink the same day. Composite usually lasts around 7 to 10 years.

Other Restorative Options

Depending on the condition of your tooth, your dentist may recommend other restorative options such as crowns or inlays and onlays when a filling is not the most suitable choice.

How to Care for Your Dental Fillings

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:

  • Brush twice a day with a soft-bristled brush and fluoride toothpaste
  • Floss daily to clean the edges where decay tends to start
  • Avoid chewing ice, pens, or hard candy
  • Limit sugary and acidic foods and drinks
  • Watch for warning signs: sharp pain on biting, returning sensitivity, visible cracks, or a loose piece
  • Keep your six-month check-ups so small issues get caught early

Tooth Filling Cost in Ontario

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.

Why Choose Smile Point Dental for Your Fillings

Over 25 years of restorative experience

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.

 

The technology we use
We use digital intraoral X-rays, which show decay at a much lower radiation dose than film. An intraoral scanner lets us check the fit of a filling without the older putty impressions. Instruments are cleaned and sterilised in an autoclave before each patient.
One visit, billed the same day
Most single fillings are done in one visit. We bill your insurance electronically on the same day, and our pricing follows the ODA Fee Guide, so the amount you pay is the published rate.

A note on materials and how long fillings last

At Smile Point Dental, we use tooth-coloured composite fillings for most restorations, including visible and many back teeth. Composite fillings typically last several years with proper care, depending on factors such as the size of the filling, your oral hygiene, and chewing habits. Amalgam (silver) fillings are also considered safe for adults by Health Canada and the Canadian Dental Association. If you have an existing amalgam filling, your dentist can assess whether replacement is needed based on its condition and your oral health needs.

Dr Vida Siar (Farokh-Siar)
Restorative Dentist

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.

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.

I had an amazing experience at Smile Dental today! I went in for a teeth cleaning, and I’m very happy with the service. Dr. Narema was absolutely amazing—she was professional, gentle, caring, and made me feel very comfortable throughout the appointment. She explained everything clearly and did an excellent job with my cleaning. My teeth feel so clean and fresh, and I really appreciate the care and attention I received. Thank you, Dr. Narema, and the entire Smile Dental team for such a wonderful experience! I would definitely recommend Smile Dental to anyone looking for great dental care. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I will always recommend Dr. Bassam for any of your dental needs. I walked in quite literally crying; first because I was in agonizing pain, and second because I needed a root canal and was terrified. From the moment I walked in, the entire team at Smile Dental put me at ease. Bridgette at reception is the sweetest and gives you that exact boost of confidence you need when you're feeling low. The dental hygienists, Fatma and Nadia, are both wonderful, soft-spoken, gentle, and so reassuring while you're in the chair. Dr. Bassam completed the root canal in about an hour, and I honestly didn't feel a single thing. I left thinking to myself, what on earth was I so scared about? But I only felt that way because team is genuinely so caring and attentive. They always explain everything clearly and let you make your own decisions without any pressure. Having transparent pricing and direct billing was also a huge plus. I’ve now finished all my procedures right up through the permanent crown fitting, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. If you’ve read this far, I hope this convinces you that Smile Dental is a place where you will feel completely comfortable, cared for, and never pressured.

I had a great experience with Dr. Bassam Abu Daqqa. He did a cleaning and filling on the last molar before my wisdom tooth, which was in a very difficult-to-reach area. The cavity was also on two sides of the tooth, making it quite challenging to access. Despite the difficulty, he handled everything with great skill, precision, and professionalism. The entire procedure was completely painless, and I felt comfortable throughout the treatment. I’m very impressed with his work and the result. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled, gentle, and professional dentist. Thank you, Doctor, for the excellent work!

My experience here was excellent. My daughter had an urgent concern that required an appointment right away. Dr. Dorar was able to accommodate us on very short notice. When we arrived the staff were very friendly and welcoming, and the procedure for my daughter was great. The doctor gave us follow up advice before we left the clinic and the healing process went smoothly. I highly recommend Smile Point Dental for all of your dental and dental surgery needs.

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. Health Canada and the Canadian Dental Association confirm amalgam (mercury) fillings are safe and have been used reliably for over 150 years. That said, most patients today choose tooth-coloured composite fillings for their natural appearance and mercury-free composition. At Smile Point Dental, we offer both and help you choose what’s right for your tooth and budget.
Very early decay that is still limited to the enamel can sometimes be remineralised with fluoride and good home care, before it becomes a cavity. Once decay breaks through the enamel into the tooth, it does not heal on its own and needs a filling. Early check-ups catch decay before it reaches that point.

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.
