Dental Fillings in Richmond
Gentle, Effective Fillings That Blend Right In
Cavities are one of the most common dental concerns—and one of the simplest to treat. At Affinity Dental Clinic, we use natural-looking materials to repair damage and prevent future decay. The goal? A smooth, durable filling that feels like your own tooth and keeps your mouth healthy for the long run.
What to Expect
After a quick exam and X-ray (if needed), we remove any decay and clean the area. Then we apply a tooth-coloured composite resin, shaping it to match your natural tooth. Once it’s cured with a special light, we polish and adjust it until it feels just right.
FAQ
Have Questions? We’ve Got Answers.
Do fillings hurt?
We use a local anesthetic to keep you comfortable. Most people feel pressure but not pain during the procedure.
How long do fillings last?
Composite fillings can last 7–10 years or more with good oral hygiene and regular checkups.
Can I eat right after?
Yes—but we usually recommend waiting until the numbness wears off to avoid biting your cheek or tongue.
Are silver fillings still used?
We typically use tooth-coloured materials for aesthetics, but silver (amalgam) is still available when appropriate.
