Get Tooth-Colored Fillings (That Don't Stand Out)
It is important to treat cavities as soon as possible to protect your oral health and preserve your natural smile. Our dentists use the latest techniques and materials to place fillings that are both durable and esthetically pleasing, ensuring that your restored tooth looks and feels like a natural part of your smile.
We specialize in placing tooth-colored composite fillings. They offer several advantages over traditional metal fillings:
- Seamless, natural appearance that blends in with your surrounding teeth
- Strong, composite material that withstands the pressures of daily biting and chewing
- Less removal of healthy tooth structure, preserving more of your natural tooth
- Reduced sensitivity to temperature changes, increasing your comfort
- Safe, mercury-free alternative that’s better for your overall health
In cases where a cavity is too large for a traditional filling, your dentist may recommend an inlay or onlay. These custom-made restorations are crafted to fit precisely onto the affected area of your tooth, providing a more comprehensive solution for extensive decay or damage. Inlays and onlays are made from durable materials like porcelain that strengthen your tooth and restore its natural appearance.

Yes, fillings can occasionally come out, especially if exposed to sticky, chewy, or very hard foods. If this happens, try to place the filling back in the tooth if possible and contact our office right away so we can replace it promptly.
Composite fillings can last many years with proper oral hygiene and regular dental visits. Avoiding hard foods, maintaining good brushing and flossing habits, and attending routine exams can help extend the life of your filling.
Getting a tooth filling is typically comfortable. We numb the area before treatment so you do not feel pain during the procedure. Some mild sensitivity afterward is normal and usually resolves within a few days.
