At Smart Dental Care, we repair cavities and tooth damage quickly and comfortably to preserve your natural smile.
Dental fillings repair teeth damaged by decay or minor fractures. We remove the decayed portion and fill the tooth with durable materials like composite resin or porcelain, restoring function and appearance while preventing further damage. Larger damage may need a dental crown, and you can explore all of our dental restorations.

With proper care, composite fillings last 5–10 years, and some can last longer.
Yes, old or damaged fillings can be safely replaced.
No, they blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
Cavities often start without pain, which is why regular checkups matter. These are the most common signs that a tooth may need a filling.
A twinge when eating something sweet, hot or cold can be an early sign of decay.
Brown, black or chalky white areas on a tooth often point to a cavity.
Discomfort when chewing can mean decay or a crack. Find out if a cracked tooth can be saved.
Food that keeps catching in the same spot may signal a cavity or broken filling.
Small chips can often be repaired with a filling. See chipped and broken tooth repair options.
Fillings that are cracked, loose or leaking may need to be replaced.
We choose the material based on the size and location of the cavity, how much chewing force the tooth takes and how visible it is. Our guide to dental filling services covers this in more detail.
| Composite (Tooth Coloured) | Porcelain or Ceramic | |
|---|---|---|
| Appearance | Matched to your natural tooth colour | Very natural, resists staining |
| Best for | Small to medium cavities, front and back teeth | Larger repairs and visible teeth |
| Visits | Usually one | Often two, made to fit |
| Durability | Strong with good care | Very durable and long lasting |
When decay is too large for a filling, a dental crown may be a better option. If decay has reached the nerve, root canal treatment can save the tooth. Explore all of our dental restorations.
Most people return to their day straight away. Your lip and cheek may stay numb for a few hours, so take care when eating or drinking. Read how long numbness lasts after a filling.
Mild sensitivity for a few days is normal and usually settles on its own. If the tooth stays sore, read whether it is normal for a tooth to hurt after a filling, and if your bite feels off, here is why a new filling can feel too high. A quick adjustment usually fixes it.
The best filling is the one you never need. A few daily habits go a long way toward protecting your teeth.
Use fluoride toothpaste for two minutes each morning and night.
Clean between teeth where brushes cannot reach and cavities often start.
Cut back on sugary snacks and drinks, especially between meals.
Exams and cleanings catch decay early, while it is small and easy to fix.

Here are a few more questions we hear from patients about dental fillings in Vaughan.
Most fillings take less than an hour, including numbing. Larger or multiple fillings may take a little longer.
Composite fillings set right away, but wait until the numbness wears off so you do not bite your cheek or tongue. Start with softer foods if the tooth feels sensitive.
Mild sensitivity is common for a few days as the tooth settles. Pain that lingers, worsens or comes with a high bite should be checked by your dentist.
Yes. Many cavities cause no pain at first. Treating them early keeps the filling small and helps avoid a root canal or crown later.
Fillings can loosen or break over time, especially with grinding or chewing hard foods. If a filling falls out, keep the area clean and call us to have it replaced.
A filling repairs part of a tooth, while a crown covers the entire tooth. Crowns are used when a tooth is too weak or damaged for a filling alone.
Tooth coloured composite and ceramic materials are widely used and considered safe. Your dentist will explain the options that suit your tooth.
