Composite Dental Filling

Our dentist and team are happy to use composite, or tooth-colored, dental fillings, as opposed to traditional silver amalgam fillings. Composite dental fillings offer a more natural-looking result and can help you achieve improved oral health. Some of the benefits of composite dental fillings are:

  • Support for your tooth’s structural integrity
  • Reduced risk of future breaking or fracturing in the affected tooth
  • Insulation from temperature changes caused by foods and beverages
  • Increased resistance to decay and leaks, due to improved seals
  • Flexibility to correct cavities that are too small for amalgam fillings to repair
  • Easy filling repair and replacement without being removed from the tooth
  • Safer dental fillings with no mercury or other metals used
