Restore the Natural Look and Feel of Your Teeth

At our Dental Office in Burnaby, we perform routine dental fillings to repair and restore teeth while preventing further decay or infection. Composite resin fillings are carefully colour-matched to your natural tooth shade, making them an excellent choice for those seeking a more discreet and aesthetically pleasing restoration. Unlike traditional metal fillings, composite resin forms a strong bond with your tooth, filling smaller spaces and minimizing the need for extensive drilling.

Why Are Fillings So Important?

Getting a filling may seem like a chore, but addressing cavities promptly is essential for several reasons:

  • Stop cavities from worsening: Untreated cavities can continue to grow and cause more damage.
  • Prevent painful infections or abscesses: Cavities that are left untreated can lead to infections that require more invasive treatments.
  • Restore tooth strength and durability: Fillings help maintain the integrity of the tooth.
  • Save money in the long run: Early treatment helps prevent more expensive dental work down the road.
  • Reduce sensitivity to hot and cold: Fillings can help alleviate discomfort caused by temperature sensitivity.
  • Preserve your natural smile: Timely fillings help you maintain a healthy, functional smile.

What is the Process for Filling a Cavity?

Gentle Freezing

Prior to filling a cavity, we ensure your comfort by administering a local anesthetic to numb the area. We understand that this step might cause some apprehension, but rest assured, it ensures a painless experience. The anesthetic numbs the tooth and surrounding area, allowing us to work without discomfort.

The Process of Filling the Tooth

Once you’re comfortably numb, we carefully clean and prepare the affected tooth. An adhesive gel is applied to create a foundation for the composite resin filling. The resin, which is a white filling material, is meticulously molded to match the contours and bite of your tooth, ensuring a seamless and natural-looking result.

Curing the Composite

A special LED light is used to cure and solidify the composite resin material. After curing, your dentist will thoroughly inspect the filled tooth and make any necessary adjustments before giving it a final polish to ensure it looks and feels natural.

The Cost of a Filling in Burnaby

Fillings are a routine and effective way to prevent and address dental issues, and many insurance plans offer significant coverage for them. Depending on your insurance, you can expect to pay anywhere from $0 to $100+ for fillings. Without insurance, the cost typically ranges from $120 to $300 or more, particularly if multiple fillings are required.

    When determining the cost of your treatment, we consider:
  • Your current oral health
  • The number of fillings needed
  • The location of the cavities
  • Whether new X-rays are necessary
  • The time required for the procedure
  • The equipment and supplies needed

Promptly filling cavities is important to prevent more invasive treatments, alleviate dental pain, and protect your overall health and well-being.

I first met Dr. Ken at Maple Ridge Dental Valley, and from the very beginning, I knew I was in the best hands. His genuine care, attention to detail, and deep concern for my dental health have always stood out. When he moved his practice to Burnaby, and we moved from Maple Ridge to Abbotsford, there was no question in my mind—I would follow him wherever he went. Trust like this is rare, and I’m so grateful to have found a dentist who truly cares not just for my teeth, but for me as a person. What makes Dr. Ken even more exceptional is how much he understands and respects his patients’ financial situations. He takes the time to explain every option, never pushes unnecessary treatments, and gives honest advice about what can wait and what needs attention now. He helps you plan realistically without pressure, which shows he cares more about your well-being than just filling his own pocket. That kind of integrity is rare—and it means everything. 🥰🙏

This is the most professional dental clinic I’ve ever been to, and they do an amazing job of explaining everything in a way that patients can easily understand. At most dental offices, the explanations are often too brief—you’re told where the problem is and that it needs to be treated, but you’re left unsure about what’s really going on with your teeth. However, at this clinic, the doctor takes the time to thoroughly explain everything from why the issue is happening to how they plan to treat it, making it so much easier to trust the process. I was treated by Dr. Christabelle, and not only was she incredibly kind, but you can also tell just how skilled she is the moment you receive treatment. My husband also had his wisdom tooth removed here, and he was extremely satisfied—he even said he’s glad we found such a great dental clinic! 😆 The receptionists are always friendly and welcoming, which makes each visit even better. Plus, their equipment is top-notch and up-to-date, which adds to the trustworthiness of their care. Highly recommend this place! 😊👏

This is the best dental service I have ever received in Canada. Dr. Ken is very professional, kind, friendly, and knowledgeable. I did my fillings and Invisalign treatment with him, and I was extremely satisfied with both the process and the results. The clinic’s facility is new, spacious, and clean, equipped with the latest updated technology. The front desk staff are very helpful and always do their best to schedule appointments that fit my schedule. Even though I moved to the East, Dr. Ken and his team are always willing to assist me with any concerns I have. Their dedication and exceptional service make every visit a pleasant experience. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone looking for professional and caring dental care!
