Tooth-colored fillings

Modern composite fillings restore decayed teeth gently — usually in a single visit, with a finish that matches your enamel.

Quick facts
  • Most fillings finished in one visit
  • Color-matched composite — no silver line
  • Numbing options for anxious patients
  • Covered by most PPO insurances

What to expect

  1. 1

    Gentle exam

    We take a quick look and a small X-ray to confirm the cavity and its depth.

  2. 2

    Numbing

    A topical gel goes first, then a precise local — most patients say they only feel pressure.

  3. 3

    Clean the decay

    We remove only the damaged tissue and leave as much healthy tooth as possible.

  4. 4

    Bond & shape

    Composite is layered, cured with a soft light, and polished so it feels like your own tooth.

  5. 5

    Bite check

    We adjust until the bite feels natural before you walk out.

Cost & insurance

Most PPO insurances cover composite fillings as a basic restorative service after deductible. We'll verify your plan before treatment and give you the exact out-of-pocket up front.

Frequently asked

  • 01Are white fillings as strong as silver ones?

    Yes — modern composite materials bond to the tooth and are rated for chewing surfaces. Properly placed, they last 7–10 years on average.

  • 02Will it hurt?

    We numb the area thoroughly before any drilling. You may feel pressure or vibration, not pain. Tell us at any moment and we'll pause.

  • 03How long does one filling take?

    Usually 30–45 minutes per tooth, including numbing time.

  • 04Can I eat after?

    Composite is hardened immediately, so you can eat once the numbness wears off (1–2 hours).
