Average lifespan of a composite filling with proper oral hygiene
Sharp pain when eating hot, cold, or sweet foods is a classic early cavity signal — the enamel has thinned and the nerve is closer to the surface.
If you can see a pit, hole, or dark discolouration on your tooth surface, decay has already progressed through the enamel layer and needs immediate treatment.
Discomfort or a sharp sting when chewing can indicate a cavity, a cracked filling, or a fracture — all of which we can assess and treat in one visit.
Persistent aching that doesn't go away may indicate decay has reached the inner pulp. Early treatment can still save the tooth and prevent a root canal.
If food consistently gets trapped in the same spot between teeth, it may be catching on a rough edge where a small cavity has formed between teeth.
Many cavities show no pain until advanced. Bi-annual check-ups catch decay early — before it becomes expensive.

Local Anaesthesia
Plans Accepted
We assess the tooth visually and with digital X-rays to confirm the extent of the cavity and determine the right filling approach.
We numb the area around the tooth with a local anaesthetic. You may feel a slight pinch — then nothing. We don't begin until you're fully comfortable.
Using a dental drill or laser, we carefully remove all decayed tooth material, leaving only clean, healthy enamel and dentin behind.
We select a composite shade that precisely matches your natural tooth color so the filling will be completely undetectable.
Years of surgical extraction experience. Calm, precise, and focused entirely on your comfort.
Digital X-rays and precision instruments mean less trauma, faster healing, and better outcomes.
No waiting weeks for a slot. We accommodate urgent extractions and routine removals alike.
We explain all costs before treatment begins and help you maximise your dental insurance coverage.
From teenage wisdom tooth removal to adult extractions — we treat every patient with the same level of personal care.
Written recovery instructions, a direct line to reach us with questions, and a follow-up check-in included with every extraction.
No. We administer local anaesthesia before starting, so the procedure itself is painless. You may feel some mild sensitivity for a day or two after, which is completely normal and fades quickly.
Most fillings take 45–60 minutes from start to finish. If you have multiple small cavities, we can often treat them all in a single visit to save you time. You can return to work or normal activities the same day.
With good oral hygiene, composite resin fillings last 10–15 years. Regular dental check-ups allow us to monitor your fillings and replace them before they cause any problems.
Yes — composite fillings cure immediately under the UV light, so you can eat within about an hour. We recommend avoiding very hard, sticky, or extremely hot and cold foods for the first 24 hours while any sensitivity settles.
The cost depends on the size and location of the cavity. Most dental insurance plans in Canada cover a significant portion of filling costs. We provide a clear quote before starting and help you understand exactly what your plan covers.
Don’t wait for it to get worse. A simple filling today protects your tooth for years. Same-day appointments available in Brampton.
