Composite Fillings

Tooth-colored fillings designed to repair cavities, preserve natural tooth structure, and blend beautifully with your smile.

Natural-Looking Fillings for Cavities

A conservative repair that protects your tooth with a seamless finish.

Composite fillings are made from durable, tooth-colored resin that blends with natural teeth. The decayed tissue is carefully removed, and the filling is placed to restore tooth integrity and help prevent further damage.

Natural color match

Composite resin is selected to blend with surrounding tooth color.

Direct bonding

The filling bonds directly to the tooth surface for added support.

Smooth finish

The restoration is shaped and polished to match your natural tooth contours.

Did You Know? Composite fillings bond directly to the tooth.

This direct bond can strengthen the overall tooth structure and help reduce the risk of future fractures compared with traditional amalgam fillings.
