What is fillings?
Allo Dental Clinic provides fillings near Yonge and Lawrence in Toronto. A filling restores a tooth after decay, fracture, or an old filling problem. We use tooth-coloured materials and explain what we find before treatment begins. Your dentist explains the diagnosis, options, expected fees, and referral needs before treatment begins.
The goal is to restore the tooth while preserving as much healthy structure as possible.
We diagnose the area with an exam, photos, and X-rays when needed. If a filling is appropriate, we discuss size, location, comfort, and long-term expectations.
When damage is too large for a filling, a crown, inlay, onlay, or root canal assessment may be discussed instead.
