Natural-Looking, Long-Lasting Cavity Repair
Most people will get at least one cavity in their lifetime. Fortunately, this issue can easily be treated. We use tooth-colored, biocompatible fillings to repair dental damage and keep the inner structures of your teeth from becoming affected by harmful oral bacteria. The composite resin that we use for fillings is able to chemically fuse with your natural enamel, allowing the treatment to protect your tooth from the threat of bacteria for years.

Common Questions About Tooth-Colored Fillings
Composite fillings are made from a tooth-colored resin that blends seamlessly with your smile, while traditional amalgam fillings are made from a metal alloy that contains mercury. Composite fillings also bond directly to your tooth structure, which means we can preserve more of your natural, healthy tooth during the procedure.
With good oral hygiene and regular dental visits, tooth-colored fillings can last many years. Their lifespan depends on factors like the size of the filling, your bite, and how well you care for your teeth, but most patients enjoy long-term, reliable results.
Yes, in most cases we can complete your tooth-colored filling in a single visit. We use local anesthesia to keep you comfortable throughout the procedure, and most patients experience little to no discomfort afterward.
