Repair Dental Damage

There is still some debate on whether or not the mercury in metal amalgam fillings can affect long-term health. However, we prefer to land on the conservative side. That's why we only place composite fillings. Our approach offers several important advantages:

  • Composite fillings are made up of tiny particles of glass and plastic that are completely safe.
  • Placing a composite filling requires less removal of healthy tooth structure than metal fillings.
  • The tooth-colored appearance blends naturally with your existing teeth.
  • No mercury or other metals are used in the filling material.

Rather than metal, these modern fillings provide both safety and aesthetic benefits for long-term oral health.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tooth Fillings

What are tooth fillings made of?

Fillings are made out of either composite resin, a blend of ceramic and plastic, or porcelain. We can match the color of these materials to your other teeth so they will look completely natural in your smile. Unlike amalgam (metal) fillings, tooth-colored fillings don't contain mercury. So they're a good choice for patients who prefer to avoid mercury.

Which tooth fillings are safe?

Although no definitive evidence has been found that silver mercury fillings are harmful to human health, we prefer to err on the conservative side. That's why we use completely safe and beautiful composite resin tooth fillings. These tooth-colored fillings are made up of tiny particles of glass and plastic, not metal. We also offer porcelain fillings, another metal-free option.

How long do tooth fillings last?

After your dentist places your new filling, you should expect it to last for several years without any problems. Composite fillings last an average of about five to seven years, although other factors do come into play, including which tooth has the filling and the types of foods you eat.
