Cavities are one of the most common dental problems — and one of the most treatable. Dr. Pinney offers tooth-colored composite fillings that restore your tooth's health and function while blending in perfectly with your natural smile.
Tooth-Colored Composite Fillings
Unlike traditional silver amalgam fillings, composite resin fillings are:
- Natural-looking — Matched to the exact shade of your tooth, completely invisible in your smile
- Bonded directly to the tooth — Requiring less removal of healthy tooth structure
- Mercury-free — No concerns about metal or mercury exposure
- Durable — Modern composites are strong enough for back teeth
Replacing Old Amalgam Fillings
If you have old silver fillings you'd like to replace for aesthetic or health reasons, Dr. Pinney can safely remove and replace them with natural-looking composite alternatives.
The Filling Procedure
After the area is numbed, Dr. Pinney removes the decay, cleans the cavity, applies the composite in layers, shapes it to match your natural tooth anatomy, and hardens it with a curing light. Most fillings are completed in under an hour.
