Our dental office uses only composite, or tooth-colored, filling material. There are many benefits to composite fillings, including:

• Material that bonds to your tooth to provide more support for the tooth’s structural integrity
• Reduced risk of the treated tooth breaking or fracturing in the future
• Insulation from temperature changes caused by foods and beverages
• Better seals around the edges of the damaged area, increasing the tooth’s resistance to decay and leaks
• Fillings that can be repaired and replaced without being removed from the tooth
• No mercury or other metals are used, making the filling safer
