Traditionally, dental fillings have been crafted from silver amalgam. However, our dental office exclusively utilizes composite, or tooth-colored, filling material. We have made this choice to provide you with a more natural-looking result and to promote long-term oral health.

Composite fillings offer numerous advantages, including:

• A material that bonds directly to your tooth, providing enhanced support for the tooth's structural integrity.

• A reduced risk of future breakage or fracturing of the treated tooth.

• Insulation from temperature changes triggered by foods and beverages.

• Improved seals around the edges of the affected area, enhancing the tooth's resistance to decay and leaks.

• The ability to address cavities that may be too small for amalgam fillings to effectively repair.

• Fillings that can be repaired or replaced without needing to remove the original filling from the tooth.

• Mercury-free and metal-free materials, make the filling a safer option.

When you receive a composite dental filling, our dentist will meticulously select a filling shade that matches your natural tooth color, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing and healthier-looking smile. Most fillings can be placed in just one appointment.
