What Are Dental Fillings & Signs You May Need One
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. While many cavities are caught during routine exams before symptoms appear, there are warning signs you should never ignore:
- 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
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
When Do You Need Dental Fillings?
At Leslie North Dental in Newmarket, our experienced dentists recommend a filling when a tooth shows signs of decay, damage, or wear that affect its strength and function. Whether it is a cavity detected on an X-ray, a cracked tooth, a worn-down surface from grinding, or an old filling that needs replacing, the sooner it is treated the simpler and more affordable the procedure will be. Tooth decay does not always cause pain in its early stages, so regular checkups are the best way to catch problems before they grow.

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.
Composite (Tooth-Coloured) Fillings
Composite fillings are made from a tooth-coloured resin material that bonds directly to the tooth, making them virtually invisible. They are our most popular choice at Leslie North Dental because they deliver a natural-looking result while preserving more of the healthy tooth structure compared to other materials.
Amalgam Fillings
Amalgam fillings are a durable and cost-effective option made from a mixture of metals including silver, tin, and copper. They are particularly well-suited for back teeth that endure heavy chewing pressure and have been used reliably in dentistry for decades.
Ceramic / Porcelain Fillings
Ceramic fillings offer excellent aesthetics and are highly resistant to staining, making them a long-lasting and natural-looking solution. They are custom-made to match the exact shade of your tooth, providing both strength and a seamless appearance.
Glass Ionomer Fillings
Glass ionomer fillings release fluoride over time, which helps protect the surrounding tooth from further decay. They are commonly used for smaller cavities, cavities near the gum line, and in children’s dentistry due to their gentle and protective properties.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most dental fillings take about 30 to 60 minutes.
We use local anesthesia to ensure you are comfortable. Most patients feel nothing more than a bit of pressure during the procedure.
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.
