Fillings and crowns
Fix a cavity, a chip or a cracked tooth. White fillings only; crowns in one or two visits.
- Starting price
- $180 for a one-surface white filling
- Time
- Fillings: one visit. Crowns: two visits, two weeks apart.
What it is
A filling repairs a small hole. A crown covers a tooth that’s too broken or cracked for a filling to hold. We’ll show you the x-ray and tell you which one you need and why — if a filling will do, we won’t sell you a crown.
Fillings are tooth-coloured composite, never silver. Crowns are porcelain, matched to the shade of your other teeth with a shade guide in daylight.

What happens
Numb the tooth
Topical gel first, then the injection. Most people don’t feel the needle.
Clean out the damage
Remove the decay or the cracked part. This is the part people dread; it takes ten minutes.
Fill or fit
A filling is shaped and set with a light in the same visit. For a crown, we take a digital scan, fit a temporary, and seat the final one two weeks later.
“I hadn’t been to a dentist in six years and was braced for a lecture. Got none. Got a plan, a price, and two fillings done the same week.”
