Effective, Natural-Looking Fillings for Tooth Decay
Cavities are one of the most common oral health concerns, and almost everyone will need a filling at some point. At Colborne Family Dental, we provide gentle, effective dental fillings to treat decay, protect your tooth structure, and restore natural function.
The procedure is simple and comfortable. Dr. Bajwa carefully removes the decay, cleans the area, and fills the tooth using durable, tooth-coloured materials that blend seamlessly with your smile. The result is a restoration that looks natural, feels smooth, and helps maintain your long-term oral health.
Filling Options That Fit Oshawa Families' Smiles
We offer modern dental filling materials that balance strength, comfort, and appearance:
- Composite Resin Fillings: Tooth-coloured fillings that blend perfectly with your natural enamel, ideal for visible areas of the mouth.
- Porcelain Inlays/Onlays: Custom-made, stain-resistant restorations that provide extra strength for larger cavities or worn teeth.
Most fillings are completed in under an hour, with minimal discomfort. Depending on the material and location, some treatments may take slightly longer or require a follow-up appointment to ensure the best results.
What to Expect During the Procedure
Your dentist will start by examining the tooth and may take digital X-rays to assess the extent of the decay. After gently numbing the area with a local anesthetic, the decay is removed, and the cavity is cleaned and filled.
For composite fillings, a special light hardens the material in place before it’s polished and adjusted for a perfect bite. You may experience mild sensitivity after your visit, which typically fades within a day or two. Avoiding very hot or cold foods can help minimize discomfort while your tooth adjusts.
Restore Strength and Confidence to Your Smile
A small cavity can quickly become a big problem if left untreated. With gentle, precise care and modern materials, dental fillings at Colborne Family Dental restore your tooth’s strength, function, and appearance often in just one visit.
