What Fillings Do

Repair and Protect Damaged Teeth

Dental fillings are used to restore tooth structure that has been damaged by decay, small cracks, wear, or minor fractures. Once the unhealthy or weakened area is removed, the tooth is rebuilt with a durable filling material.

At College Park Dental, we use tooth-coloured composite materials that closely match natural enamel, so your restoration looks clean and blends comfortably with your smile.

Step by Step

What Happens During a Dental Filling?

Cavity Preparation

The decayed or damaged part of the tooth is removed, and the area is shaped for the filling.

Composite Placement

Tooth-coloured composite resin is placed in layers and hardened with a special curing light.

Polish and Bite Check

The filling is shaped, smoothed, and polished so it feels comfortable when you bite.

Larger Cavities

When an Inlay or Onlay May Be Better

Sometimes a cavity or damaged area is too large for a regular filling. In these cases, your dentist may recommend an inlay or onlay, also called a partial crown.

Inlays and onlays are custom-made restorations created to replace more tooth structure than a filling while still preserving as much natural tooth as possible.

Inlays
Fit within the biting surface of the tooth.
Onlays
Cover a larger portion of the tooth, including one or more cusps.
Custom Fit
Usually made from an impression or scan and placed during a second visit.

Long-Term Care

Do Fillings Last Forever?

Fillings are strong, but they do not last forever. Over time, chewing pressure can cause fillings to wear down, loosen, crack, or leak around the edges.

Regular dental checkups allow our dentists to monitor your restorations and recommend repair or replacement before a small issue becomes a bigger problem.

Dental Filling FAQs

Tooth-coloured fillings are shade-matched to blend with your natural enamel, making them much less noticeable than traditional metal fillings.

You may need a filling if you have a cavity, tooth sensitivity, a cracked filling, or visible damage. A dental exam and X-rays can confirm the best treatment.

Cavities can grow deeper over time. Waiting may lead to pain, infection, or the need for a larger restoration such as a crown, root canal, or extraction.
