Tooth-Colored Fillings
Natural-looking composite fillings that repair cavities and small chips while blending in with your smile.
When a cavity is caught early, a filling stops decay before it spreads deeper into the tooth. We use tooth-colored composite material that bonds directly to your tooth, so the repair is strong, conservative and almost impossible to spot.
IS IT RIGHT FOR YOU?
Patients with small to moderate cavities, minor chips or worn spots, or older fillings that are cracked, leaking or need to be replaced.
What to Expect
We numb the tooth, remove the decay and clean the area. The composite is applied in thin layers, hardened with a curing light, then shaped and polished so your bite feels natural. Most fillings take under an hour.
Common Questions
Quick answers to questions we hear often. See all FAQs
Can I replace my silver fillings?
Yes, if they are worn or failing. We will check them and let you know whether replacement makes sense.
How long do composite fillings last?
With good care, composite fillings typically last many years. Regular checkups help us catch any wear early.
Can I eat right after a filling?
Composite fillings harden immediately, but wait until the numbness wears off so you do not bite your cheek or tongue.
