Tooth-Colored Fillings That Blend In

When a cavity forms, a filling removes the decay and restores the tooth before the damage spreads. Our tooth-colored fillings match your natural teeth, so no one will know they're there.

Step by step

The Filling Process

  1. 1

    We numb the area so you stay comfortable.

  2. 2

    The decayed part of the tooth is gently removed.

  3. 3

    Composite resin is applied in layers and shaped to fit your bite.

  4. 4

    A special light hardens the filling, and we polish it smooth.

What Makes Them Different

Natural Appearance

Composite resin is color-matched to your natural teeth so the filling blends in completely.

Mercury-Free

Tooth-colored composite fillings contain no mercury — a cleaner option compared to traditional amalgam.

Single Visit

Most fillings are completed in one appointment — we place, shape and polish the same day.
