Dental fillings are a common and effective treatment for cavities, cracked teeth, and minor tooth damage. When decay is caught early, fillings can restore the tooth, stop the cavity from progressing, and help prevent pain or infection.

Dental fillings are required when a tooth becomes damaged due to decay, cracks, or minor fractures. Some cavities are visible or painful, while others are only detected during routine dental exams and X-rays, before symptoms develop and discomfort begins.
We offer several types of dental fillings in Hamilton to suit different needs. Composite resin fillings are tooth-coloured and made from a blend of plastic and glass, providing a natural appearance for both front and back teeth. Amalgam fillings are strong and durable, making them a reliable option for molars that experience heavy chewing pressure and daily biting forces over time without failure.
Natural-looking composite fillings designed to restore strength and blend seamlessly.
Strong materials suited for molars to withstand daily chewing pressure.
Prompt care to stop decay from spreading and prevent future pain or infection.
Dental fillings are generally not painful. Local anesthesia keeps the area numb during treatment, and most patients experience little to no discomfort. Mild sensitivity after the procedure is normal and usually subsides within a few days.
Delaying treatment allows decay to spread deeper into the tooth. Over time, untreated cavities can reach the tooth’s pulp, leading to infection, severe pain, or the need for a root canal. Early dental fillings help preserve your natural tooth and prevent more costly procedures.
The lifespan of a filling depends on the material used and oral hygiene habits. Composite fillings typically last several years, while amalgam fillings may last even longer with proper care.
