What is a Dental Filling?
When is a dental filling necessary?
- Visual assessment
- Probing/palpation
- X-rays
These tests will lead to a diagnosis and treatment plan. For very small cavities, we may simply recommend a wait-and-see approach. If the cavity is large and painful or located in a hard-to-reach area, a filling is often recommended.
Treating a cavity with a filling involves removing decayed tooth structure, followed by a cavity filling that “fills” the hole in your teeth, protecting your tooth from further decay.
What kind of fillings are there?
- Composite fillings are made with composite resin, easily match teeth colour, and last about three to 10 years.
- Porcelain fillings/Inlay/Onlay look the most like natural teeth, are resistant to staining, and last 15 to 20 years. Can be done on same day with CEREC.
The Dental Filling Procedure
STEP 1
Your dentist will numb the area with local anesthesia, if necessary. Once past this quick injection, you won’t feel a thing!
STEP 2
We’ll clean out the tooth cavity or old filling, removing all decayed tooth structure before proceeding.
STEP 3
The dental filling is then designed and inserted into the cavity, ready to protect your tooth from future decay.
STEP 4
Finally, your dentist will polish the filling, ensuring that it’s smooth and properly shaped. A bite test will be conducted to make sure the new filling hits the opposing teeth correctly.

Filling removes decayed tissue in the tooth while the tissue is still living. A root canal removes the living root of the tooth, leaving behind a “dead” tooth. Root canals are much more invasive and more costly.
