Understanding Your Filling Options
Why Choose Composite?
The Advantages of Modern Tooth-Colored Fillings
Traditional silver (amalgam) fillings are durable but visible, and they require removing more healthy tooth structure. Tooth-colored composite fillings are bonded directly to your tooth, preserving structure while providing an esthetically natural result.
Our composite fillings use the latest light-curing technology to achieve maximum hardness and durability. With proper care, they last 10-12 years. More importantly, they blend perfectly with your smile, making cavity treatment something you don't need to be self-conscious about.

Composite fillings typically last 10-12 years with good oral hygiene. They can last longer depending on the size and location of the filling, and your care habits. Silver fillings last longer (15-20 years), but we recommend composite for superior esthetics.
No. We use local anesthetic so you feel no pain during the filling process. Some patients experience minor sensitivity immediately after, but this resolves within 24-48 hours. If sensitivity persists, contact us immediately.
Yes. If you have old silver fillings you'd like to replace with tooth-colored composite, we can remove them and place new composite fillings. This improves the appearance of your smile while maintaining tooth integrity.
Absolutely. We use a shade-matching guide to select composite resin that perfectly matches your natural tooth color. The result is invisible to others.
Treat a composite filling like a natural tooth. Brush twice daily, floss, and avoid chewing on hard objects. Avoid staining foods/drinks (coffee, red wine) for the first 24 hours after placement for optimal color retention.
Most dental insurance plans cover tooth-colored composite fillings. Coverage is often the same as silver fillings. Contact your insurance provider or our office for specific coverage details.
