Fillings can also restore structure to teeth affected by grinding, acid erosion, or minor damage.
At DentiFlow Dentistry in Thornhill, we provide high-quality dental fillings to restore teeth affected by cavities, minor fractures, or wear. Our modern, tooth-colored fillings not only stop decay from spreading but also blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, preserving both function and appearance. If you’re experiencing tooth sensitivity or pain, a dental filling may be the quick and lasting solution you need.
Dental fillings are materials used to restore teeth that have been damaged by decay or minor cracks. The decayed portion of the tooth is removed, and the area is filled with a durable material—usually a composite resin—that matches the color of your natural tooth. Fillings restore strength, protect the tooth from further damage, and help maintain your bite.
Tooth-colored composite fillings blend in with your natural enamel for a seamless look.
A filling rebuilds lost structure and allows you to chew comfortably and confidently.
The procedure is quick and conserves as much healthy tooth structure as possible.
Here’s what you can expect during your filling appointment at DentiFlow Dentistry:
We assess the tooth using visual inspection and digital X-rays to confirm the presence and extent of decay.
A numbing agent is used to ensure you’re comfortable throughout the procedure.
The damaged portion is gently removed, and the tooth is filled with composite resin, shaped, and hardened using a special curing light.
We check your bite for comfort and polish the filling for a smooth finish that feels just like your natural tooth.
If you have a small or moderate cavity, a filling is the best way to stop decay and preserve your tooth.
Fillings can also restore structure to teeth affected by grinding, acid erosion, or minor damage.
We can replace worn-out silver (amalgam) fillings with new, natural-looking composite options.
Sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods may indicate decay that needs to be treated with a filling.
After your filling is placed:
Avoid eating until the numbness wears off to prevent accidental biting of the cheek or tongue.
You may experience mild sensitivity to hot or cold for a few days—this is normal and temporary.
Brush and floss as usual, being careful around the newly filled area.
Avoid very hard or sticky foods for the first 24 hours.
Return for regular checkups so we can monitor the condition of your fillings and overall oral health.

Composite fillings are more aesthetically pleasing and bond directly to the tooth, making them a preferred choice for visible areas.
