The amalgam fillings are still a good filing it’s just strictly—it goes back to that cosmetic thing, and the silver fillings typically get darker over time. Now you got this beautiful white tooth with a dark black filling in it. Well, if we put a white filling in it, now you don’t have that problem.
It seems like with the composites, my own personal opinion, seems like—the composites seem like, instead of metal, it insulates the tooth more. It seems like the white fillings seem like it insulates—it’s only my opinion. It seems like we don’t have as much trouble with patients that, even drinking something cold and come in saying this tooth is bothering me because the white fillings are the composite, and it seems like it insulates the tooth better.

Bring Back a Better Smile With Composite Fillings
Your oral health is important. Tooth decay affects more than 90 percent of people in the United States. The sooner we can address problems, like untreated cavities, the easier the solution.
We have invested in technology that allows us to find tooth decay in its earliest stages. We use:
- Digital X-rays – Digital X-rays produce clear images that reveal underlying oral health issues. These X-rays also use a fraction of the radiation of film X-rays.
- DIAGNOdent – This device uses laser technology to show cavities and other issues that aren’t visible to the naked eye. We can take action sooner and reverse the damage to your teeth.
When left untreated, decay can impact the health and function of your teeth. By getting a filling today, you can spare yourself from more worrisome concerns and more expensive care. More serious infections may require more extensive restorative treatment.
If you have anxiety, we want to put your mind at ease. This starts with our friendly team of professionals. In addition, we offer comforting amenities, such as massage chairs, cozy blankets, and televisions, to help you relax. You also have the option of dental sedation for its calming effects.

A dental filling repairs damage caused by tooth decay so that it doesn’t do further harm to your tooth, your oral function, or your oral health. Most of the time, your dentist will catch tooth decay at your routine hygiene appointments before it has had enough time to cause too much damage. We remove the decayed portion of the tooth and then strengthen and preserve the tooth with a composite filling to keep a larger cavity from forming.
Our tooth fillings are a composite resin that is not only easier on your teeth than standard metal fillings, but it allows us to preserve more of the healthy structure of the tooth as well. There is also a cosmetic benefit to composite fillings because they seamlessly blend in with the natural color of your teeth so you won’t see any dark spots in your mouth when you smile, speak, and laugh.
Generally, you can expect a tooth filling to last many, many years. But that doesn’t mean they never fall out or become damaged. An accident, injury, or even biting down on something hard just the wrong way can all damage a tooth filling, but it’s not that common. Our composite fillings are strong and durable, but to give you more confidence about the longevity of your restorative care, we also guarantee our work for five years.
