Tooth-colored fillings are made from a durable composite resin that matches the natural shade of your teeth, providing a seamless and aesthetically pleasing solution for cavities.

Unlike silver (amalgam) fillings, tooth-colored fillings blend with your natural teeth, are free of mercury, and bond directly to the tooth structure for added strength.

These fillings are used to repair teeth damaged by decay, cracks, or minor fractures. They are also ideal for replacing old silver fillings.

With proper care, tooth-colored fillings can last 7-10 years or more. Regular checkups help ensure their longevity.

Cavities are bound to happen on teeth with deep grooves or lack of proper oral health care at some point in life. Whether it is genetics, lack of salivary flow, dietary changes throughout life, lack of protective sealants or long periods between dental hygiene cleanings, cavities happen. Most dental situations with these cavities simply require removing the decay and filling in the removed area. In prior decades, dentists would fill your tooth with an amalgamation of different metals. These are lovingly referred to as “Silver Fillings”, however, almost all contain Mercury and other toxins. At Open Late Dentistry, we believe in using only the latest in technology and the highest standard of care, and only place esthetic, tooth-colored composite fillings or ceramic, lab-made, fillings. These are more natural looking, life-like and will resemble the tooth, while remaining strong. These materials are safer and most importantly look much more natural when you are having a conversation with others.

-Tooth-colored composite fillings do not contain mercury or other metals which may cause sensitivity or toxic effects.-Some patients have metal sensitivities.
