Cavities are often identified during regular dental exams, which is a big part of why you should keep up with routine appointments. Spotting cavities early can help avoid more serious issues down the line.
Ahead of the procedure, the area is numbed with local anesthetic. Patients with a history of dental anxiety can also ask about other sedation dentistry options. We then remove the decayed material from the cavity and sanitize it to prepare for the filling.
From there, the filling is applied to ensure the tooth is protected and safe from future cavities. The resin is cured instantly using UV light and then polished to a smooth finish, leaving you with perfect dental fillings.
After a cavity filling treatment, it is essential to wait until the local anesthetic wears off before eating or drinking to avoid accidentally biting the inside of your mouth. Some patients may experience some soreness or sensitivity for a day or two, but there shouldn’t be any pain or serious recovery time after this simple procedure.
At Casa Dental, we provide a variety of different dental filling options. These different types are each uniquely suited to certain situations and could be the right choice for you. We’ll discuss your options carefully and find the best treatment plan for your unique needs.
Traditional metal amalgam fillings have long been used to provide effective cavity treatment. They are durable, long-lasting, and affordable. However, they sometimes cause issues with patients who have metal sensitivities, and they also have a noticeable silver-grey appearance.
Composite resin is a recent development that provides lasting protection and a beautiful smile. The material can be matched to the natural shade of your teeth for a seamless look. Composite resin is also highly affordable and versatile, although it is not the most durable option available.
Ceramic fillings are made from porcelain or other ceramic materials. They must be custom-made and can carry a higher price but provide both exceptional aesthetics and longevity.
The cost of fillings depends on a wide range of factors. The specific type, size, placement, and material used for the filling can all impact the cost. However, at Casa Dental, we are always upfront and transparent with our pricing, so you know what your options are and can make the right choice.
We also work closely with insurance providers to make the process as seamless as possible. Our team can help determine if your coverage includes dental fillings and can even submit claims instantly using CDAnet so that you get the fastest possible reimbursement for your dental care.

Most fillings we place at Casa Dental are modern, tooth-coloured composite resin because they’re durable and blend in with your smile. We also discuss other materials when appropriate: silver-coloured amalgam, ceramic/porcelain (usually as inlays/onlays made by a lab), and glass ionomer (occasionally for non-biting areas or certain pediatric cases). Our team will recommend the material that best fits the tooth’s location, cavity size, and your preferences.
Common signs include sensitivity to cold, sweets, or biting pressure; a rough spot or visible hole; food trapping; or floss that frays between teeth. Some cavities have no symptoms early on—this is why we rely on exams and, when needed, low-dose digital X-rays to catch decay before it becomes a bigger problem.
Yes. Composite resins and ceramics used at Casa Dental are mainstream, well-studied materials. Amalgam has also been judged safe and effective for the general population by major dental bodies; however, the U.S. FDA advises avoiding new amalgam in certain higher-risk groups (e.g., pregnant people, children under 6, those with kidney disease or mercury allergy). We’ll help you choose a material that fits your health profile and goals.
Longevity varies by material, size, and habits. Evidence suggests posterior composites often show low annual failure rates (~1–3%) with good technique and care; amalgam traditionally shows very long survival in high-load areas. Night grinding, large cavities, and a high-sugar diet can shorten any filling’s lifespan. Regular checkups and cleanings help your fillings last longer.
We keep you comfortable from start to finish. After numbing the tooth, we remove decay, disinfect the area, and place a layered composite that’s light-cured and shaped to your natural bite. If you’re anxious, we offer nitrous oxide (“laughing gas”) or mild oral sedation to help you relax—options we routinely use for adults and kids.
Whitening gels only lighten natural enamel—they don’t change the shade of composites, crowns, or veneers. Over years, composites can pick up surface stains from coffee, tea, red wine, or tobacco; we can often polish them, and when aesthetics matter, replace them to match your new tooth shade. Pro tip: if you plan to whiten, do it before front-tooth fillings so we can match the lighter colour.
When decay is extensive, a filling may not be strong enough. Options include inlays/onlays or full crowns to reinforce the tooth, and root canal therapy if the nerve is infected—followed by a crown in most cases. If a tooth is non-restorable, extraction with replacement options (implant, bridge, or partial denture) may be recommended. We offer all of these treatments in-house.
Fees are individualized by tooth, size, and surfaces—but our pricing is transparent and follows the Ontario Dental Association (ODA) fee guide. For affordability, we can submit claims electronically via CDAnet, work with most insurers, accept CDCP clients, and offer no-interest monthly payment plans. Before treatment, we’ll provide a written estimate you can review at home.
While numb: avoid chewing and hot drinks until sensation returns to prevent biting your cheek/tongue.
Eating: composite fillings are cured immediately; once the numbness wears off you can chew carefully. (Amalgam—if used—needs ~24 hours to reach full strength.)
Sensitivity: mild cold/pressure sensitivity for a few days is common; if your bite feels “high” or pain lingers, call us for a quick adjustment.
Everyday care: brush with fluoride toothpaste, floss daily, and keep 6-month checkups to monitor margins and prevent new decay
Absolutely. We treat children of all ages and can use kid-friendly approaches—including nitrous oxide when appropriate—to make visits smooth. For small cavities we often use tooth-coloured materials; for larger multi-surface decay in baby molars, pediatric guidelines commonly recommend stainless-steel crowns for strength and longevity. We’ll tailor the plan to your child’s risk level, cooperation, and tooth development
