What Is A Dental Filling?

 A dental filling is a restorative treatment used to repair a tooth damaged by decay (a cavity), a crack, or general wear. After removing the damaged portion of the tooth, your dentist fills the space with a durable material to restore the tooth's shape, strength, and function. Left untreated, cavities grow deeper and can eventually reach the inner pulp of the tooth — leading to infection, pain, and more complex treatment. Treating a cavity early is one of the most conservative, cost-effective things you can do for your long-term oral health.

Composite Fillings — The Tooth-Coloured Option

At Evolve Dental Studio, we use composite resin fillings — a tooth-coloured material that is bonded directly to your tooth. Composite fillings are our preferred choice for most patients because they:


  • Match the natural colour of your tooth — virtually invisible once placed
  • Bond directly to the tooth structure — requiring less removal of healthy enamel than older silver (amalgam) fillings
  • Harden immediately — you can eat and drink normally right after your appointment
  • Are durable and long-lasting — with proper care, composite fillings last many years
  • Support a conservative approach — we only restore what is necessary, preserving as much of your natural tooth as possible

Replacing Old Silver (Amalgam) Fillings

Many patients come to us wanting to replace older silver amalgam fillings with modern white alternatives. Whether your existing fillings are worn, cracked, or you simply prefer the aesthetics of tooth-coloured restorations, our team can assess whether replacement makes sense for you. We take a candid approach: if your silver filling is still functioning well and not causing issues, we'll tell you honestly. We never recommend replacing a filling unless there is a clinical reason to do so.

Dental Restoration — Beyond A Simple Filling

Sometimes a tooth requires more than a standard filling. If decay is more extensive, or if a tooth has been structurally weakened, we may recommend one of the following restorative options:


  • Inlays & Onlays: A more conservative alternative to a full crown. Inlays and onlays are custom-fitted restorations that cover a larger portion of the tooth surface than a filling, but preserve more of the natural tooth than a crown.



During your examination, our team will assess your tooth and recommend the most conservative restoration that achieves the best long-term outcome for your oral health.

What to Expect at Your Filling Appointment

We know dental visits can cause anxiety for some patients. Our team at Evolve Dental Studio goes out of its way to make every appointment as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Here is what a typical filling appointment looks like:


  1. Examination & X-ray — We confirm the location and extent of the decay using digital X-rays.
  2. Freezing — A local anaesthetic is applied to numb the area completely. We take our time here to make sure you feel nothing.
  3. Decay removal — The affected portion of the tooth is carefully removed.
  4. Filling placement — The composite resin is applied in layers, shaped precisely to your bite, and hardened using a curing light.
  5. Polish & check — We polish the filling and check your bite to make sure everything feels natural.


Most single-tooth fillings are completed in 30 to 60 minutes. You can return to your normal routine immediately after.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How do I know if I need a filling?

    Common signs include tooth sensitivity to hot or cold, a visible hole or dark spot on a tooth, pain when biting, or a rough edge you can feel with your tongue. The only way to confirm is with an examination and X-ray. Many cavities have no symptoms at all in early stages — which is why regular check-ups matter.

  • Do fillings hurt?

    The procedure itself is painless thanks to local anaesthetic. You may feel some tenderness or sensitivity in the area for a day or two after the freezing wears off. Over-the-counter pain relievers and avoiding very hot or cold foods helps during this period.

  • How long do composite fillings last?

    Composite resin fillings typically last 7 to 10 years or longer with proper care. Longevity depends on the size of the filling, its location in the mouth, and your oral hygiene habits.

  • Can I eat after getting a filling?

    Yes. Composite fillings harden immediately, so you can eat right away. We recommend waiting until the freezing wears off before eating to avoid accidentally biting your cheek.

  • Is it worth replacing my old silver fillings?

    It depends. If your silver filling is intact and functioning well, replacement may not be necessary. If it is cracked, leaking, or deteriorating, replacing it with composite makes sense. We will always give you an honest assessment.

  • Do you accept the Canada Dental Care Plan (CDCP) for fillings?

    Yes. Evolve Dental Studio is a registered CDCP provider. Dental fillings are covered under the plan for eligible patients. Call us at (778) 438-2160 to confirm your eligibility before your appointment.

  • Do you see patients from Delta and Surrey for fillings?

    Absolutely. We welcome patients from North Delta, Delta, Surrey, Ladner, and the surrounding Metro Vancouver communities.
