How Do I Know If I Need a Dental Filling?

You may need a filling if you experience tooth sensitivity, pain when biting, visible holes, or dark spots on your teeth. A dental exam is the best way to confirm.

How Long Do White Fillings Last?

Composite fillings can last several years with proper care, including good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups.

Can I Eat Right after Getting a Filling?

It’s best to wait until the numbness wears off before eating to avoid biting your cheek or tongue. Your dentist may also recommend avoiding hard foods for a short period.

Do Fillings Require Special Care?

No special care is needed beyond maintaining good oral hygiene; brushing, flossing, and regular dental visits will help extend the life of your filling.

What Happens If a Filling Becomes Damaged or Falls Out?

If a filling is damaged or dislodged, it’s important to visit your dentist promptly to prevent further decay or damage to the tooth.

If your teeth are decayed or damaged due to poor oral hygiene or bruxism, it is best to visit a dentist immediately. Without professional intervention, the decay goes deeper, and your teeth may eventually die.

Fraccaro Dental Group offers dental fillings in Centennial, Binbrook, and Stoney Creek Mountain to restore your teeth’s structure. We will explain each step of the process to you and make sure you’re comfortable.

White Fillings

The procedure involves removing the decayed or damaged part of your tooth and replacing it with the filling. Dental fillings are made using different materials. At Fraccaro Dental Group, we offer white composite resin fillings that are a great alternative to unattractive metal fillings. Composite fillings are made of a strong, durable resin that can be customized to match the colour of your teeth. They appear natural and pleasing to the eye.

Composite resin fillings also maintain the structure and shape of your tooth. They support the remaining tooth structure, preventing breakage as well as insulating the tooth against extreme temperature changes. Learn more about dental fillings from the Canadian Dental Association.

Wonderful Dental Team

‘Fraccaro Dental has been absolutely wonderful.

Highly recommend this practice and Dr. Alexis.

As someone who has extreme dental anxiety, I always felt welcome, never judged, and the approach has always been so kind and gentle. They have always made me feel so comfortable and made sure I was OK throughout all of my appintments.

The front end staff are absolutely wonderful, especially Sarah and Jane.’
