Save your damaged tooth before decay turns into major treatment. At T32 Dental, our expert dentists use gentle dental fillings to restore your tooth so it stays strong and pain-free.
Feeling a sharp sting with cold drinks or discomfort when you chew? That's often a sign of a cavity or small crack, even if you can't see anything in the mirror.
A dental filling is a treatment used to repair a tooth affected by decay, damage, or wear. Sometimes referred to as a dental filler for teeth, a filling restores the damaged area and seals the tooth to prevent further problems.
At T32 Dental, we primarily use white fillings made from durable composite materials to create a natural-looking result that blends seamlessly with your smile.
When you come in for a filling, we focus on stopping the pain, saving your tooth and helping it stay strong for the long term.
Each dental filling appointment includes:
You notice a dark patch or small pit on the tooth surface
Food keeps catching in one spot even after brushing
A tooth feels weak or uncomfortable when you bite down
You have a chipped tooth from biting something hard or from an accident
An old amalgam filling looks worn or feels rough
You can feel a gap around an existing filling
Sensitivity or discomfort has returned in a tooth that was filled before
The dental filling cost depends on how large the cavity is, how deep it extends, and which tooth requires treatment. Small fillings usually cost less, while larger restorations may require more time and material.

No. The tooth is gently numbed so the procedure is comfortable. Most people feel little to no discomfort during treatment.
Some mild sensitivity afterwards is normal and usually settles quickly.
White composite fillings match your natural tooth colour and blend in when you smile. They bond to the tooth and help restore strength.
Silver amalgam fillings are more visible and are an older option. Many people choose to replace them with white fillings for a more natural look.
Fillings can last for many years, especially when placed early. How long they last depends on the size of the filling, how to maintain your oral hygiene, and your dietary habits. Regular check-ups help us spot wear early and keep the tooth protected.
