Tooth Fillings in Burlington

Why do We Need Fillings?

Dental fillings accomplish a lot! We need fillings for several reasons:

  1. To repair decayed teeth
  2. To prevent future decay and tooth damage
  3. To reinforce tooth structure
  4. To hold up to biting, chewing, grinding of our jaw
  5. To last for many years.
  6. To improve the appearance of some teeth and our smile.

 

How we get your tooth ready for filling

First, we find out what’s wrong using a dental exam and x-rays. From there, we can see how many surfaces of your tooth is affected and how deep the cavity goes. Or if the tooth is broken, where the crack/chip is and to give us a rough idea of how to proceed. 

Then, we give you a local anesthetic to numb the area around the tooth and gums. Using a modern dental equipment, we can precisely eliminate the decay so that we cna preserve as much of the tooth as possible. Then, we apply advanced filling material into the area we cleaned out to preserve the tooth and prevent future decay and bacteria and put a UV light on it to cure it.  That’s it, the natural looking, long lasting, durable composite filling on your tooth is ready for you to enjoy.

The Cost of Dental Fillings in Burlington

The cost of tooth fillings depends on a few factors such as the material used (composite vs. ceramic vs. glass ionomer), how many surfaces of the tooth is the decay or chip etc. Usually, the cost for a filling ranges from $200 to $500 per tooth but if you have insurance, it might only be $40 to $100 out of pocket expense (based on 80% payout).

I can’t thank Dr Lee and his staff for a wonderful experience. His bed side manners and treatments are number one. He takes customers care to another level and it’s a high standard to achieve. I appreciative the service and explanation of each treatment. Also he discusses cost and what’s covered. I live in Mississauga and make the trip to see him in Burlington. I’ve taken my mum and he did everything to make sure that she was taken care of her. My mother ended up getting surgery at the hospital as she had other heath issues that prevented Dr. Lee from preforming the procedure. His honesty and advice was so valuable in making sure mum got the best care. I can’t thank him enough and will continue coming to him! Btw his staff at the front desk are so nice! I wish more places had customer service like theirs!

From reception to follow up, I couldn’t ask for more. Dr Maini has been my dentist for decades, and I can’t imagine going anywhere else. The whole staff is consistently friendly, caring, and professional. Safety, up to date equipment, and relaxing surroundings are also a norm. Dr. Surya has joined the practice, and she now provides the same high quality and personal care I have been used to with Dr. Maini. Each dental hygienist I have hadhas also maintained the same combination of personal attention, quality and professionalism .

Filling FAQs 

How long do fillings last?

Ideally, a tooth filling can last anywhere between 7 to 20 years. However, it depends on how well you take care of your teeth. Do you brush and floss regularly? Do you eat low sugar and healthy foods most of the time? Do you see your dentist for an exam regularly? Finally, do you clench and grind your teeth? These factors affect the durability of the fillings.

Why do you need a filling?

As soon as decay is removed from your tooth, you need something to fill in the gap otherwise bacteria and food get in there. That would lead to further decay, root canal or tooth extraction and extreme pain because eventually your tooth root would be exposed or infected. Also, you need fillings to support the tooth under the immense, constant daily chewing, grinding and biting stresses that your mouth experiences.
