What are composite fillings?
Composite fillings can help to bring back the function and look of your teeth. With our expert team in Empress Walk Dental, you can be guaranteed virtually instant results. Advances in dental technology have seen a tremendous increase in the number of filling materials. At Empress Walk Dental, we know you don’t have a lot of information on filling materials and we will serve as your guide as you need through the many options. We will help you understand the pros and cons of each filling material and help you choose the type of filling that is ideal for your teeth.
Composite Fillings are Widely Used
Why would you need Composite Fillings?
There are innumerable reasons why you would be a candidate for composite fillings. Most of our patients have:
- Chips on their teeth
- Worn teeth
- Broken or cracked teeth
- Tooth decay
What is getting a composite filling like?
The best thing about getting composite fillings is that you will only need a single appointment. At Empress Walk Dental, the procedure starts with the numbing of the affected tooth. Our skilled dentist will start by removing the decayed material from the tooth and clean it to ready it for the filling. If the decay was close to a nerve, we use special medication which will be added to boost protection. The dentist will then set the composite filling, shape it to match your other teeth and polish it so that it has the same natural look as the other teeth. Thanks to the expertise of our team, your friends will not be able to distinguish your natural teeth from the restored ones. That is the beauty of composite filling.
Composite Fillings Maintenance
After the administration of the composite filling, you will feel some discomfort and sensitivity to cold and heat for the first few days. Your tooth will, however, adapt to the filling and the sensitivity will disappear.
At Empress Walk Dental, we want you to have a bright smile and natural tooth function for longer. That is why at the end of the procedure our dentists take the time to educate you on how to care for the restored tooth during and after healing. It is important that you listen to what our dentists tell you and also follow the instructions.

Frequently Asked Questions
No, the procedure is usually not painful. We use local anesthesia to numb the area before starting, so you shouldn’t feel pain during the treatment. You may feel slight pressure or movement, but it should stay comfortable.
A composite filling can last many years with good oral hygiene and regular dental checkups. On average, they last around 7 to 10 years, but they can last longer depending on factors like your bite, grinding habits, and how well the tooth is cared for.
Yes, in most cases, you can eat normally once the numbness wears off. We usually recommend waiting until the anesthesia fully fades so you don’t accidentally bite your cheek or tongue. After that, you can return to normal eating, although it’s best to avoid very hard or sticky foods for the first few hours.
Yes, composite fillings blend naturally with your teeth. The material is carefully shade-matched to your surrounding tooth color, so the filling is barely noticeable when you smile or talk.
We know that cost is a real concern. If multiple teeth need treatment, we can prioritize urgent areas first and plan treatment in stages. We also help you understand your insurance coverage before starting anything.
Yes, often cavities don’t hurt until they become deeper. Treating them early with a simple filling prevents bigger problems later, even if there are no obvious symptoms yet.
