Do You Provide Tooth-Colored Fillings?

In this video, Dr. Matthew Keider explains how modern composite fillings provide a durable and natural-looking alternative to traditional silver fillings. If you are interested in upgrading your dental restorations, schedule a free consultation today to explore your options.

In the past, silver fillings were one of the most durable materials available for treating cavities. While they provided long-lasting results, their dark, metallic appearance was not aesthetically pleasing. As a result, advancements in dental materials have led to the development of highly effective tooth-colored alternatives.

Today, we use composite resin, a material that is both strong and aesthetically superior. Composite fillings blend seamlessly with natural teeth, as they can be precisely matched to the shade of your existing teeth. This makes them virtually unnoticeable while still providing the durability needed for long-term function.

Many people refer to composite resin as “bonding,” but it is primarily used as a tooth-colored filling material. Due to its strength and natural appearance, composite resin has largely replaced silver fillings in modern dentistry. These advancements allow us to restore teeth with materials that not only perform well over time but also enhance the overall appearance of your smile.
