Cavity Treatment Hamilton Ontario 2026 — Tooth Fillings at Red Rose Dentistry
Cavity (dental caries) treatment in Hamilton Ontario at Red Rose Dentistry uses tooth-coloured composite resin fillings — no silver amalgam. Cavities treated early (at a routine checkup) cost $150–$400 and are CDCP-covered at $0 for eligible patients. Untreated cavities progress to root canals and crowns (much more expensive). Red Rose sees new patients for cavity treatment within 1–5 business days. Open 7 days.

Tooth-Coloured Composite Fillings — Why Red Rose Doesn't Use Amalgam
Red Rose Dentistry uses tooth-coloured composite resin fillings exclusively. Composite fillings:
- Match your natural tooth colour — invisible in normal conversation and photos
- Bond directly to the tooth structure, requiring less removal of healthy tooth
- Are mercury-free — no silver amalgam concerns
- Can be repaired or touched up at future appointments
- Are CDCP-covered when composite is the appropriate material for the cavity size and location
Cavity Treatment Process at Red Rose Hamilton
Step 1 (5–10 min): Local anaesthetic injected; area fully numb before any drilling. Most patients report feeling only pressure during the treatment — not pain.
Step 2 (5–15 min): Cavity removal — the decayed tooth material is removed with a high-speed handpiece. Modern cavities are often caught small on X-ray, meaning very little removal is needed.
Step 3 (10–20 min): Composite application — tooth-coloured filling material applied in layers; each layer cured with an LED light for 20 seconds.
Step 4 (5 min): Bite adjustment and polishing — filling is shaped precisely to your bite and polished smooth.
How to Prevent Cavities — Hamilton Ontario Advice
- Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste — the single most effective cavity prevention measure
- Floss daily — cavities between teeth cannot be reached by brushing alone; 30% of cavities occur between teeth
- Professional cleaning every 6 months — CDCP covers 2x/year; removes calculus that increases cavity risk
- Fluoride varnish treatment — applied at your cleaning appointment; reduces cavity risk by 30–40%; CDCP covered
- Dental sealants (for children) — coating placed on back molar grooves; reduces childhood cavities by up to 80%
