If a cavity or area of tooth decay is left untreated, the result could be an infection or even a tooth extraction. Even a small amount of dental damage could eventually create a big problem.

Traditionally, dental fillings have been made of silver amalgam. However, at Smile Advanced Dental Center, we use only composite (or tooth-colored) filling material. Our team has chosen to use composite filling materials in order to provide our patients with a more natural-looking result and to promote better long-term oral health. There are many benefits to composite fillings, including:

When you receive a composite dental filling, our dentists will carefully select a filling that matches your natural tooth color to give you a more beautiful and healthier-looking smile. Fillings can usually be placed in a single appointment.
