Dental Fillings

Fillings That Look and Feel Like Natural Teeth

Cavities happen—but fixing them doesn’t have to mean obvious metal restorations. At Smile, Co., we offer composite (tooth-colored) dental fillings that blend perfectly with your natural enamel, restoring strength, function, and aesthetics—all in one visit.

We take a modern, minimally invasive approach that keeps your experience comfortable and efficient, whether it’s your first cavity or you’re replacing older fillings.

What Is a Composite Dental Filling?

A composite filling is made from a tooth-colored resin that bonds directly to your enamel. It’s strong, durable, and shaded to match your natural teeth—so it becomes virtually invisible once placed.

We use fillings to:

  • Repair small to mid-size cavities
  • Restore cracked or chipped teeth
  • Replace old or worn-out amalgam (metal) fillings
  • Smooth out minor surface damage
  • Prevent further decay after early cavity detection

We’ll always walk you through your options and recommend the most conservative, aesthetic treatment possible.

The Smile, Co. Filling Process

Here’s what to expect during your appointment:

  1. Gentle prep – We remove the decayed portion of the tooth while preserving as much natural structure as possible.
  2. Color matching – We select a composite shade that blends perfectly with your enamel.
  3. Filling placement – The resin is placed in layers, sculpted to fit your bite, and cured with a special light.
  4. Polishing – We finish by shaping and smoothing the surface for a natural, seamless feel.

Most fillings are completed in under an hour with no downtime—you can eat, drink, and smile right away.

Need extra comfort? We offer sedation options for patients with anxiety or sensitive teeth.

When Do You Need a Filling?

You may need a filling if you’re experiencing:

  • Tooth pain or sensitivity
  • Visible holes or dark spots
  • Food getting stuck in one area
  • Pain when biting or chewing
  • An old filling that feels loose or worn

During your routine cleaning and exam, we check for signs of decay and recommend treatment early—before it becomes a bigger problem.

Why Choose Tooth-Colored Fillings?

Our composite fillings offer:

  • Natural appearance – no gray or silver
  • Bonding strength – supports and reinforces tooth structure
  • Conservative treatment – less drilling required
  • Safe materials – metal-free and mercury-free

We also offer nutritional counseling and fluoride treatments to help you avoid future cavities and keep your smile strong.

FAQs: Dental Fillings

Are tooth-colored fillings as strong as metal?

Yes—composite fillings are strong and durable, especially for small to mid-size cavities. For larger restorations, we may recommend crowns.

How long do fillings last?

Composite fillings typically last 7–10 years or more with proper oral hygiene and routine checkups.

Does getting a filling hurt?

The procedure is quick and gentle, usually requiring only local anesthetic. Sedation is available for added comfort.

Can I replace old metal fillings with composite?

Yes. We frequently replace old silver fillings for patients seeking a more natural appearance or improved comfort.

Will my tooth feel different after a filling?

There may be slight sensitivity at first, but most patients adjust within a day or two. We ensure your bite feels smooth and natural before you leave.
