Tooth Colored Fillings

Fix cavities and minor damage with natural-looking, tooth-colored fillings for a healthy, seamless smile.

Conservative and Aesthetic Composite Resin Fillings

At Stonehaven Dental, we prioritize both the health and the appearance of your teeth. Unlike traditional silver amalgams, our composite fillings are made from a blend of tooth-colored resin and finely ground glass, allowing them to bond directly to your tooth structure. This material requires less enamel removal, preserving more of your natural tooth while providing a durable, temperature-resistant restoration that is virtually invisible to the naked eye.

Tooth Colored Fillings

Natural-Looking Aesthetics

Our composite resin is carefully matched to the shade of your natural teeth, ensuring that your dental work remains a private matter.

Conservative Tooth Preparation

Placing white fillings requires the removal of only a small portion of the tooth, which helps protect and maintain your tooth's natural structure and strength.

Mercury-Free and Biocompatible

Composite fillings are crafted from safe, biocompatible materials that do not contain mercury, making them a healthy choice for your body.

Temperature and Stain Resistance

These fillings are resilient against temperature changes for optimal comfort and, with proper care, provide a durable solution that lasts for several years.

Questions

Find answers to common concerns about whitening treatments and what to expect.

What is a dental filling used for?

A dental filling is a restoration used to repair minor damage caused by decay, cracks, or fractures. It restores the tooth's functionality and prevents further decay from spreading.

How long does it take to get a tooth-colored filling?

The procedure is very efficient and can be completed in a single appointment. This includes tooth preparation, layering the resin, curing it with a special light, and final polishing.

Is the procedure for placing a filling painful?

No. We use powerful local anesthetics to numb the area around the tooth before we begin, ensuring you remain comfortable and pain-free throughout the preparation and placement process.

Do tooth-colored fillings require special care?

They do not require any special maintenance beyond your normal routine. Simply brush and floss as usual and visit our office every six months for professional cleanings and check-ups.

Is there any downtime after the appointment?

There is no downtime, but we recommend avoiding hot substances or chewing until the anesthesia wears off (usually about two hours) to prevent accidental biting or burning of your cheeks and tongue.
