Tooth-Colored Fillings

Why do I need a filling?

Dental fillings are essential for restoring teeth damaged by cavities. When tooth decay occurs, it weakens the tooth structure, leaving it vulnerable to further damage and discomfort. Getting a filling promptly helps protect your tooth and prevents the cavity from worsening.

At Union Smiles, we expertly replace the decayed portion of your tooth with a durable filling. This restores the tooth's structure and preserves its function and appearance. The term "filling" comes from its purpose—filling the space left by decay.

In the past, metal amalgam fillings, such as gold or silver, were the only option for repairing cavities. Today, cosmetic advancements offer more aesthetic solutions. Tooth-colored composite fillings are made from a resin material that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing a strong, beautiful, and long-lasting result.

Restore your smile and protect your oral health with modern dental fillings at Union Smiles!

Advantages of Composite Fillings

Composite fillings are a popular option for restoring teeth, and for good reason. Here’s why many patients prefer them over traditional alternatives:

  • Natural Appearance: Composite fillings are designed to match the color of your natural teeth, making them virtually invisible and ideal for a seamless smile.
  • No Dark Metals: Unlike traditional amalgam fillings, composites lack a metallic, dark appearance, ensuring a more aesthetically pleasing look.
  • Strong Bonding: These fillings bond tightly to your tooth structure, providing a durable, long-lasting solution for small cavities.
  • Non-Toxic Materials: Composite fillings are metal-free, eliminating concerns about potential health risks associated with amalgam fillings.

By choosing composite fillings, you’re opting for a healthier, more attractive, and reliable way to maintain your health.
