Dental Fillings
Extra Protection for Growing Smiles
We use tooth-colored composite fillings to restore cavities while maintaining your child's natural smile. Our gentle approach makes treatment comfortable and stress-free.
Why Tooth-Colored Fillings?
Modern composite fillings offer numerous advantages over traditional silver amalgam fillings, especially for children.
Natural Appearance
Composite fillings are carefully matched to your child's tooth color, blending seamlessly with their natural smile. No one will know they have a filling!
Conservative Treatment
Composite fillings bond directly to tooth structure, allowing us to preserve more of the healthy tooth. This means less drilling and a stronger final result.
Mercury-Free
Unlike silver amalgam fillings, composite fillings contain no mercury. They're made from safe, biocompatible materials that are ideal for children.
Durable and Long-Lasting
Modern composite materials are strong and durable, standing up well to the forces of chewing. With proper care, they can last many years.
What to Expect During Treatment
1
Numbing
We gently numb the area around the tooth to ensure your child feels no discomfort.
2
Cleaning
We carefully remove the decayed portion of the tooth, leaving only healthy structure.
3
Filling
The composite material is placed in layers and shaped to match the tooth's natural contours.
4
Polishing
We polish and adjust the filling for comfort and a perfect bite.
