Fillings & Restorations
Tooth-coloured fillings & restorations
A damaged or decayed tooth can affect how you eat, speak, and smile. Our natural-looking fillings and repairs make your tooth whole again.
Quick answer
Innisfil Dental Smile Solutions repairs cracked, worn, or decayed teeth with tooth-coloured dental fillings, plus inlays and onlays for larger repairs. Fillings restore the tooth’s structure, stop further decay, and blend in naturally — and many are completed in a single visit.
If you have one or more chipped or decayed teeth and shy away from smiling, we can help. Dental fillings repair cracked, worn-out, and broken teeth, filling the gap left behind by a cavity and protecting the tooth from further decay. For more extensive damage, inlays and onlays provide a stronger, longer-lasting restoration.
Fillings & restoration options
Tooth-coloured fillings
Composite fillings repair cavities and minor damage while blending with your natural tooth — no metal, and a natural appearance.
Inlays
When damage is too large for a simple filling but the cusps are intact, an inlay is bonded into the centre of the tooth.
Onlays
For more extensive structural loss, an onlay rebuilds the chewing surface and protects the tooth long-term.
Worn & cracked-tooth repair
We restore teeth worn down by grinding or weakened by cracks, helping prevent sensitivity, pain, and further decay.
Frequently asked questions
When do I need a dental filling?
A filling is recommended when a tooth has decay, minor damage, or wear. Fillings restore the tooth’s structure, stop further decay, and help prevent sensitivity or pain. Tooth-coloured fillings are commonly used for a natural appearance.
Are tooth-coloured fillings as strong as metal ones?
Modern composite (tooth-coloured) fillings bond directly to the tooth and are durable for most everyday chewing. For larger areas of damage, your dentist may recommend an inlay, onlay, or crown for added strength.
What is the difference between a filling and an inlay or onlay?
A filling repairs smaller cavities directly. Inlays and onlays are used for larger restorations — an inlay sits within the centre of the tooth, while an onlay also rebuilds one or more of the chewing cusps.
Does the Canadian Dental Care Plan cover fillings?
Yes — fillings are among the basic services covered under the CDCP for eligible patients, subject to plan rules and frequency limits. Visit our CDCP page or speak with our team to learn more.
How long does getting a filling take?
Most tooth-coloured fillings are completed comfortably in a single visit using local anesthesia. Larger restorations such as inlays or onlays may require an additional appointment.
