One Appointment, Years of Protection
A dental filling is a common restorative treatment used to repair teeth damaged by decay, cracks, or wear. When a cavity forms, bacteria break down the tooth structure, leaving a hole that can spread deeper and lead to infection or tooth loss. Your dentist removes the decayed portion and fills the space with a durable material such as composite resin, amalgam, or ceramic, restoring the tooth’s shape, strength, and function. At Leslie North Dental in Newmarket, we use tooth-coloured composite fillings that blend naturally with your smile.
When Do You Need Dental Fillings?
- Persistent sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods
- A dull or sharp toothache that comes and goes
- A visible dark spot or hole on the tooth surface
- A rough or chipped edge you can feel with your tongue
- Food getting repeatedly stuck in the same spot

Types of Dental Fillings We Offer in Newmarket
At Leslie North Dental, we offer a range of filling materials to suit each patient’s needs, budget, and the location of the affected tooth. Our dentists will assess your situation and recommend the most appropriate option during your appointment.
Tooth-Coloured Fillings
Composite fillings are tooth-coloured, natural-looking restorations that bond directly to the tooth, preserving more healthy tooth structure than other filling materials.
Ceramic (Porcelain) Fillings
Ceramic fillings are durable, stain-resistant, and custom-made to match your tooth for a strong, natural-looking result.
The Benefits of White Composite Fillings
Nowadays, repairing cavities is only one of the functions of dental fillings. Modern dental fillings also improve the appearance of your smile. White composite fillings in Newmarket are colour-matched to your natural tooth, making them far less noticeable than metal fillings.
They also bond directly to the tooth. Therefore, less healthy tooth structure often needs to be removed during treatment. These metal-free fillings are highly durable and can withstand everyday chewing forces.
Recovery & Aftercare Expectations
When the treatment is finished, you can often return to normal activities immediately. The recovery is very simple. Your mouth may feel numb for a few hours after treatment, so avoid chewing until the freezing wears off. Mild sensitivity to cold, pressure, or sweet foods is also common for a few days, especially if the cavity was deep.
To help your filling last longer:
- Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste
- Floss around the treated tooth every day
- Avoid chewing ice or very hard foods
- Keep up with regular dental exams and cleanings
What Our Patients Say About Us
From the moment we walked in, the staff at Dentist made us feel welcomed and at ease. They have a fantastic way of creating a warm and friendly environment that instantly put my son at ease, which is no small feat for a child who was initially nervous about visiting the dentist.
The dentist and dental hygienist were incredibly patient, kind, and understanding. They took the time to explain each step of the examination and treatment process in a way that my son could understand, turning what could have been a daunting experience into an educational one. I truly appreciate the effort they put into making dental care a positive and educational journey for kids.
I highly recommend Dentist to all parents seeking the best dental care for their children. They have certainly earned our trust, and we look forward to our next visit with smiles on our faces!
Sincerely,
Sara

Frequently Asked Questions
Most dental fillings take about 30 to 60 minutes.
In Newmarket, the cost of fillings ranges between $210 and $500, depending on the size of the cavity, the location of the tooth, and the filling material used. At Leslie North Dental, we offer direct billing to insurance and accept CDCP coverage.
We primarily use tooth-colored composite fillings for a natural look and a strong bond.
Once a cavity has formed a hole in the enamel, it cannot grow back. A filling is necessary to seal the tooth and stop further decay.
Symptoms like sensitivity or pain are clues, but a professional exam is the only way to know for sure.
The decay will continue to eat away at the tooth, eventually reaching the nerve and causing significant pain or infection.
With good oral hygiene and regular dental checkups, white composite fillings often last 7 to 10 years or longer.
