01 – Signs to Watch
Signs a tooth may need a filling
Only an examination can confirm what a tooth needs, but these signs are worth checking:
A cavity was found at a recent checkup
Food keeps catching in the same place between teeth
A tooth reacts to sweet foods, hot, or cold
A small chip or worn edge has appeared on a tooth
You can see a dark spot or feel a rough area on a tooth
An older filling feels rough, has stained edges, or has cracked
02 – Restoring the Tooth
Dental fillings at 6ix Eglinton Dental
A dental filling treats a cavity or repairs selected minor damage by removing the decayed or weakened part of the tooth and restoring the space with composite material. The goal is to stop the problem from progressing and return the tooth to normal function.
Whether a filling is the right treatment depends on the tooth and the extent of the damage. Fillings suit cavities and smaller repairs; when a tooth has lost more structure, another restorative option such as a crown may be more appropriate, and the dentist explains the difference before anything is decided.
Not every chipped, sensitive, or painful tooth needs a filling — and some need more than one. The recommendation always follows the examination.
03 – The Material
Tooth-coloured composite fillings
Tooth-coloured material
Composite resin is the filling material used at the clinic. It is tooth-coloured rather than metallic
Shade selected to blend
The shade is chosen to blend with the surrounding tooth. Designed to blend is the honest description; no restoration is completely invisible in every situation.
Used for cavities and selected minor damage
Composite can restore a cavity, a small chip, or a worn area, depending on the tooth.
Suitability confirmed by the dentist
The dentist confirms whether a filling is appropriate after examining the tooth and the extent of the damage.
Larger damage may need another option
When too much tooth structure is missing, the dentist may discuss a crown or another restorative option instead.
What to expect when getting a filling
Examination
The dentist examines the tooth and confirms whether a filling is the appropriate treatment.
Preparation
The area is numbed with local anaesthetic and the decayed or damaged part of the tooth is removed.
Placement
The composite is placed in layers, shaped to the tooth, and set. Your bite is checked and adjusted so it feels natural.
Aftercare
Mild, short-lived sensitivity can be normal after a filling. The clinic explains what to expect and when to call if something feels off.
Honest recommendations, tooth by tooth
Composite as the standard
Tooth-coloured composite fillings, shade-matched to the tooth being treated.
Old fillings assessed, not assumed

A filling only when it fits

Dental fillings FAQ
Are your fillings tooth-coloured?
Yes. 6ix Eglinton Dental provides tooth-coloured composite fillings, with the shade selected to blend with the tooth being treated.
Will the filling be completely invisible?
Composite fillings are designed to blend with the natural tooth, and most are difficult to spot. That said, no restoration is completely invisible in every light and situation.
How long can a filling last?
There is no fixed lifespan. How long a filling lasts depends on its size and location, your bite, and your home care, and the dentist checks existing fillings at your regular examinations.
Is sensitivity normal after a filling?
Mild sensitivity for a short period can be normal. If sensitivity is strong, lasts, or gets worse, contact the clinic so the tooth can be checked.
Can an old or damaged filling be replaced?
Yes. The dentist examines the existing filling and the tooth around it first, and recommends replacement when the filling is worn, cracked, or no longer sealing the tooth.
What happens if a cavity is not treated?
A cavity does not repair itself and can grow deeper into the tooth, which may lead to pain, infection, or the need for more involved treatment. Treating it early is usually the simpler path.
