What to Know
Understanding Composite Fillings
When cavities appear and cause damage to a health tooth, the strength of the tooth is compromised. A composite filling matched to your tooth colour, can be bonded to the tooth to restore it's appearance and strength.
Signs You May Need One
Tooth sensitivity, visible dark spots, pain when chewing, or food getting stuck.
What to Expect
One visit, local anesthesia, and a fully restored tooth — usually in under an hour.
When to Act
Signs that a composite filling may be recommended
Visible discoloration often indicates decay beneath the surface. A filling removes the damaged enamel and seals the tooth before the cavity grows any larger.
Fillings don't last forever. When one fails, composite can replace it — often with less drilling than the original, since we're just refreshing the seal.

want to know most
Composite fillings are tooth-coloured restorations made from a durable resin that's bonded directly to your tooth. They repair cavities and minor damage while blending seamlessly with your natural enamel — so no one can tell they're there.
For most teeth, yes. Composite is tooth-coloured, biocompatible, and bonds directly to the tooth, so we preserve more of your natural structure. We'll always give you honest guidance on whether composite is the right choice for your situation.
With good care, composite fillings stay strong for many years. Daily brushing and flossing, avoiding hard objects like ice or pens, and keeping up with regular checkups all help extend their lifespan.
Most fillings are done in under an hour with local anesthesia, so you shouldn't feel discomfort during the procedure. Mild sensitivity afterward is normal and usually fades within a few days — contact us if it lingers.
