Tooth-Colored Fillings

No more unsightly metal

In the not-so-distant days of dentistry’s past, and even in many offices still today, the only way to fill a cavity and stop decay was using metal fillings. Metal fillings – usually a mix of metal alloys, silver, and mercury – tend to expand and contract with changes in temperature, making them susceptible to damage and breaking. Not to mention the ugly dark spot that serves as a glaring reminder of dental work every time you open your mouth.

Thankfully, with advances in dental techniques and materials at Coastal Cosmetic Family Dentistry® we can fill cavities and stop decay in its tracks with a tooth-colored composite material that blends in seamlessly with your natural teeth.

What are the benefits?

The benefits of tooth-colored fillings are numerous, and range from functional, to cosmetic, to health.

  • Blend in seamlessly with natural teeth
  • Virtually invisible
  • Stop & prevent further decay
  • More stable than metal
  • Longer-lasting
  • No toxic mercury

If you have a cavity that needs to be filled, we would love to provide you with a natural looking tooth-colored filling that can restore your smile to full health and brilliance. Remember, the best way to minimize and prevent tooth decay is to:
