Composite fillings,
conservative and natural.
Tooth-colored composite fillings for cavities and small chips. Bonded directly to the tooth, color-matched, and conservative — they preserve more healthy tooth structure than amalgam ever could.
A dental filling restores a tooth that has been damaged by decay, a small chip, or wear. Modern composite (tooth-colored) fillings bond directly to the tooth, are color-matched to your existing tooth shade, and preserve more healthy structure than the older amalgam (silver) fillings.
Composite fillings, explained.
The questions we get most often. Call us if yours is not here.
Yes, for most cases. Composite (tooth-colored) fillings bond directly to the tooth, require less removal of healthy structure, and look natural. Amalgam still has a role in specific clinical situations but is rarely the first choice at Sarasota Dental Arts.
