Dental Fillings in Danforth
Gentle, Tooth-Colored Cavity Treatment
Tooth decay doesn’t have to lead to major dental problems. At Danforth Dentistry, we treat cavities early with durable, natural-looking dental fillings that restore the strength and function of your teeth. Whether you need your first filling or want to replace an old silver one, we offer modern, pain-free options to keep your smile healthy and bright.
What Is a Dental Filling?
A dental filling is a treatment used to restore a tooth that has been damaged by decay (a cavity). The decayed portion of the tooth is removed, and the area is filled with a durable material that seals and strengthens the tooth, preventing further damage.
Signs You May Need a Dental Filling:
- Tooth sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweets
- Visible holes or dark spots on your teeth
- Tooth pain or aching
- A chipped or worn tooth surface
- Food getting stuck in a particular area

Dental Fillings FAQs
How long do dental fillings last?
Tooth-colored composite fillings typically last 7–10 years or more with proper care. Good oral hygiene and regular dental visits can extend their lifespan.
Is getting a filling painful?
No; our team uses local anesthesia to numb the area. Most patients feel little to no discomfort during the procedure and can return to normal activities the same day.
Can old silver (amalgam) fillings be replaced?
Yes! We can safely remove your old metal fillings and replace them with natural-looking composite fillings that blend with your smile.
How can I prevent cavities in the future?
Brushing twice a day, flossing daily, eating a low-sugar diet, and visiting us regularly for cleanings and checkups are key to preventing decay.
