Get a Beautiful White Filling

When you visit us for a filling, we use modern composite resin that perfectly matches your natural tooth color.

First, your dentist gently removes the decayed area and cleans your tooth. Then we carefully place layers of this strong, tooth-colored material to rebuild the damaged part. We shape it to fit your bite and use a special light to harden it instantly.

Unlike old silver fillings, our composite fillings bond directly to your tooth, creating a tight seal that helps prevent bacteria from getting back in. This means better protection against future decay while keeping your smile looking natural and healthy.

These durable fillings let you eat, drink, and smile with confidence, knowing your teeth are protected and strong.

Relax With Comforting Amenities

Your comfort is our top priority while you are getting a dental filling. You can feel at ease in our relaxing space with soft pillows, warm blankets, and headphones to listen to your favorite music.

Our gentle team takes time to explain each step, so you know exactly what to expect. We'll check in regularly to make sure you're feeling good throughout your visit.

If you feel nervous, we offer several options to help you relax. From mild sedation that takes the edge off to deeper options that make you feel drowsy and calm, we'll find the right level for your needs.

Many patients who were once afraid of dental treatment now look forward to their visits. Our goal is to make your experience with us pleasant from start to finish.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tooth Fillings

What are white tooth fillings made of?
White tooth fillings are made of composite resin, a blend of ceramic and plastic. Unlike amalgam fillings, which are made of a blend of metals, they can be matched to the color of your other teeth so they aren’t noticeable in your smile. They also cause fewer allergy issues than amalgam.
Which tooth fillings are safe?
Although no definitive evidence has been found that silver mercury fillings are harmful to human health, we prefer to err on the conservative side. That’s why we use completely safe and beautiful composite resin tooth fillings. These tooth-colored fillings are made up of tiny particles of glass and plastic, not metal.
How long do tooth fillings last?
The life of fillings will vary, depending on their location and your oral hygiene, among other factors. A composite filling typically lasts from five to 10 years. No filling is designed to last a lifetime. You can maximize the life span of any filling by brushing and flossing every day and visiting us at least twice a year for professional cleanings.
