Improving Teeth Strength and Appearance

Dentistry is constantly advancing and now patients can take advantage of innovative treatments and cosmetic solutions. The composite fillings have replaced the silver amalgam ones almost completely. While they have been around for quite some time, they are now stronger, more naturally looking and longer lasting than ever before. Discover how we use them to give our patients a bright smile and more.
Restore Decayed and Chipped Teeth

What Are They Used for?

Composite fillings are used as treatment for tooth decay. This condition is characterized by one or more miniature cavities on one or more teeth. With these fillings, the teeth look completely natural and feel the same way after the treatment.


A chipped tooth can also be fixed with filling which mimics natural enamel. With careful application, the original shape will be restored completely. The tooth will look and feel the same as before.


If you are not happy with your existing amalgam fillings, your dentist can replace them with composite one. This is one of the cosmetic dentistry services marking the highest increase in demand in recent years. The new fillings do the same job as the old ones, but the appearance of the teeth is completely natural.

No Metal Fillings, Try Tooth-Colored Fillings

How Are They Made and Applied?

The composite resin used for fillings is made of plastics and glass. It is easy to find a shade that matches the color of your teeth closely. To fill the cavity or to restore the shape of the chipped tooth, your dentist will clean and prepare the area and apply and mold the material. Usually, one visit is required for the treatment.
