Repair a cavity, keep your natural look

When a cavity needs treatment, a tooth-colored composite filling restores the tooth while matching its natural shade. Composite bonds directly to the tooth, requires removing less structure than old-style fillings, and contains no mercury. Most fillings are quick, comfortable, and done in a single visit — and we’ll always tell you honestly whether a filling is actually needed.

Fillings FAQ

Common questions

Are tooth-colored fillings better than metal?
For most cavities, tooth-colored composite fillings match your tooth, bond directly to it, and contain no mercury. They look and feel natural.
Does getting a filling hurt?
Fillings are done with numbing, so you should feel little to nothing. Any sensitivity afterward is usually mild and brief.
How long do fillings last?
With good care, tooth-colored fillings commonly last many years. We check them at every visit and replace them only when needed.
Can you replace my old metal fillings?
Yes, when appropriate. Some patients choose to update old fillings to tooth-colored ones — we’ll advise honestly on whether it’s worth doing.
