Fillings (Composite & Amalgam) in Regina
Durable, Natural-looking Cavity Repair
Dental fillings restore the strength and function of your tooth while helping prevent future damage.
Cavities are one of the most common oral health concerns — but they’re also one of the easiest to treat when caught early. A dental filling removes the decayed portion of the tooth and seals it off, helping protect against further decay or infection.
We offer both composite (tooth-coloured) and amalgam (silver) fillings, depending on your needs, preferences, and the location of the tooth being treated.
Composite Fillings
Made from a resin-based material, composite fillings are colour-matched to your natural tooth, making them ideal for visible areas like front teeth or side-facing molars. They bond directly to the enamel, allowing for a strong seal with minimal removal of healthy tooth structure.
Amalgam Fillings
Silver amalgam fillings are a traditional option known for their strength and durability. They’re often used on back molars where chewing pressure is greatest, and may be recommended in certain clinical situations for long-term resilience.
Signs You Might Need A Filling
Sensitivity to sweets, cold, or pressure
Visible dark spots or rough patches
A chipped or broken filling
Food getting stuck in the same area
Pain when biting or chewing
Even if you’re not experiencing symptoms, small cavities often show up on digital X-rays or during routine exams. We’ll let you know what we see and explain the options clearly.
What To Expect
Getting a filling is a quick and comfortable procedure. After numbing the area, we remove the decayed material, clean the space, and place the filling. You’ll be able to eat and drink as usual soon after your appointment — with a restored tooth that looks and feels like it should.
Preventing Future Cavities
Fillings are a solution, but prevention is the goal. Regular cleanings, fluoride treatments, and good brushing and flossing habits help keep your enamel strong and lower your risk of future decay.
