Make Your Teeth Look and Feel Natural Again

Getting a filling is super common at our office, and it’s a simple way to repair your tooth and keep it healthy, avoiding any painful decay or bigger problems later. We use composite resin fillings that are colour-matched to your tooth, so they look completely natural. Unlike metal fillings, composite resin bonds better with your tooth and lets us work in smaller areas, meaning less drilling and a more comfortable experience for you!

Why Are Fillings So Important?

Getting a filling might seem like a hassle, and it’s easy to delay, especially if your tooth isn’t hurting yet. But we strongly encourage you to get cavities filled sooner rather than later. Here’s why: fillings stop the decay from spreading, prevent future pain or infections, and help you avoid more serious dental procedures down the road.

  • Stop cavities from growing and causing more damage
  • Prevent painful infections or abscesses
  • Restore strength and durability to weakened teeth
  • Save money by avoiding more complex treatments later
  • Reduce sensitivity to hot and cold
  • Keep your natural smile looking its best for longer

How Is a Cavity Filled?

Gentle Freezing

Before starting, we carefully numb your gums to gently freeze the area. Many patients feel anxious about this, but the freezing ensures you won’t feel much during the procedure, keeping you comfortable throughout.

Filling the Tooth

Once you’re comfortably frozen, we clean and prepare the tooth. We apply an adhesive gel, then mould and sculpt the composite resin (white filling) to match your tooth’s natural shape and bite for a perfect fit.

Curing the Composite

The composite resin used to fill your tooth is quickly hardened with a special LED light. The dentist will then examine the finished tooth, make any necessary adjustments, and give it a final polish for a smooth, natural finish.

The Cost Of A Filling In Oakridges

Fillings are a routine and effective way to prevent dental issues, and most insurance plans offer significant coverage. With insurance, your out-of-pocket cost could range from $0 to $100+. Without insurance, the cost typically falls between $120 to $300 or more, especially if multiple fillings are needed.

When determining the cost of your treatment, we consider several important factors, including:

  • Your current oral health
  • The number of fillings needed
  • The location of the cavity in your mouth
  • Whether new x-rays are necessary
  • The time required by the dental team to address your needs
  • The equipment and supplies needed for your treatment

Promptly filling cavities is crucial to us because fillings effectively prevent more invasive treatments, avoid serious dental pain, and help keep you healthy and happy.

Contact us today

to schedule an initial consultation & exam.

Your consultation will include an examination of everything from your teeth, gums and soft tissues to the shape and condition of your bite. Generally, we want to see how your whole mouth looks and functions. Before we plan your treatment we want to know everything about the health and aesthetic of your smile, and, most importantly, what you want to achieve so we can help you get there.

Frequently Asked Questions

With regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental checkups, your fillings can last over ten years.

Fillings were once made from an alloy called dental amalgam, commonly referred to as “silver” or “mercury” fillings. While some debate exists around their safety, the Canadian Dental Association confirms that scientific studies haven’t shown amalgam fillings to cause illness in the general population. So if you have silver fillings, there’s no need to worry!

Over-the-counter products may temporarily fill a cavity or minor tooth damage, but they are not a permanent solution. A professional filling is essential because cavities are permanent damage that needs to be cleaned and filled by a dentist. Leaving decay untreated can lead to tooth loss or infection.

If severe pain is affecting your ability to eat or sleep, it’s a dental emergency. Contact us immediately, and we’ll offer advice and see you as soon as possible. For temporary relief, apply a cold compress to the affected area and consider using a pain reliever like acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil). Be sure to follow the dosage instructions and keep track of what and when you’ve taken the medication to inform us when you come in.

Friendly dental staff. Clean operation. And the dental hygienist is the most gentle practitioner I've had by far. Dr. Alina provided an insightful consult as a new patient and it shows she has a bounty of knowledge as an expert in her field. Since they are a relatively newer clinic, availability is better and wait times are lower as well. I felt confident to be in her care and would recommend anyone to this clinic especially since their rates are more competitive than the ones in Toronto.

Hello Everyone, After living in our town for over 20 years, relocating has certainly been a challenge, particularly when it came to finding a new dental practice that met our expectations. Our previous dentist's office was excellent, but after it was sold, we began our search for a new provider. After visiting two different offices, we finally discovered Affinity Dental Studio, and we are thrilled with our decision. Located conveniently on Bathurst, the office is not only easy to find but also beautifully designed, with state-of-the-art facilities that exude sophistication. From the moment you walk in, Chantel greets you with a warm smile, making you feel instantly comfortable and welcomed. For an exceptional cleaning, Andrea is the person to see. Her attention to detail and thoroughness ensures the best possible experience, all while maintaining a friendly and pleasant demeanor. Dr. Alina, the talented dentist, truly stands out. She is incredibly kind, approachable, and brings a sense of humor that makes every visit feel less like a dental appointment and more like a visit with family. Even during procedures, she has a remarkable ability to ensure you feel completely at ease, and you hardly feel any discomfort. If you're looking for the best dental care, we highly recommend Affinity Dental Studio. We are confident that you will not be disappointed :)

Here's a review you could use: --- ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had a fantastic experience at this dental office. Dr. Allina was extremely friendly and patient with my 4-year-old son. She explained every detail and every option to us and even took the time to play with him and check his paw patrol doggy for cavities, which he loved. After his procedure, he got to open the treasure box and pick a toy, which was a great touch. The dental offices are newly built and extremely clean. The staff was super friendly as well. Overall, I’d give this place 10 stars if I could! Highly recommend.
