Frequently Asked Questions
What are tooth-coloured (composite resin) fillings?
Composite fillings (also called white fillings or tooth-coloured fillings) are a resin material that blends with your natural tooth shade to repair a cavity (tooth decay) or small tooth damage. cda-adc.ca+1
Are composite fillings better than silver (amalgam) fillings?
It depends on your tooth and bite. Composite fillings are popular for a natural look and bonding to tooth structure, while amalgam fillings are often chosen for durability in high-pressure chewing areas. Your dentist will recommend what fits your cavity size and chewing forces. cda-adc.ca
How is a composite filling done (and is it same-day)?
In most cases, it’s a same-day dental filling: the dentist removes decay, applies bonding, then places composite in layers and cures it with a special light before shaping and polishing. cda-adc.ca
How long do composite fillings last?
Many patients search “how long do white fillings last.” Longevity varies by cavity size, tooth location, grinding/clenching, and home care. A common range discussed in patient education is about 5–10 years, sometimes longer with good maintenance. danforthdentistry.com+1
Is it normal to feel sensitivity after a composite filling?
Yes—mild tooth sensitivity after a filling (especially to cold or pressure) can happen for a short time. If sensitivity worsens, lasts more than a couple weeks, or your bite feels “high,” book a quick adjustment.
What can I eat after a composite (white) filling?
Most people can eat soon after, but avoid very hard or sticky foods until the numbness wears off (to prevent cheek/tongue biting). If you had deep decay, your dentist may suggest extra caution for a day or two.
How much do composite fillings cost in Canada?
“Composite filling cost Canada” depends on the tooth, number of surfaces, complexity, and your province’s typical fee ranges. The most accurate route is an exam + estimate, and many clinics follow provincial dental fee guides as a reference point.
Does Canadian dental insurance cover composite fillings?
Often yes, but coverage varies by plan (percent covered, frequency limits, and which tooth surfaces qualify). Many plans cover both amalgam and composite (white) fillings, but may limit how often the same surface can be replaced. Student Care+1
Are composite fillings covered under the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP)?
CDCP coverage depends on eligibility, the specific service rules, and what’s listed in the current benefits guide. If you’re on CDCP, a clinic can confirm what applies to your situation and whether any pre-authorization rules apply. Canada
Are composite fillings safe (BPA concerns)?
Patients often ask “BPA in composite fillings.” Health Canada’s position (as summarized by the Canadian Dental Association) is that dental materials containing BPA-related compounds are within safety limits and don’t require special restrictions. If you’re pregnant/nursing or have concerns, ask your dentist about precautions and material options.
