Mercury Free Tooth Colored Fillings

How are fillings placed?

It typically takes a single appointment with our experienced team to restore your tooth to its original shape and function. Post-procedure, you might experience some sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures, but rest assured, this typically subsides after a few days.

At South Shore Dental Group, we offer an array of filling options. One of the most widely preferred is composite fillings.

Composite fillings, made to blend seamlessly with the natural color of your teeth, are not just an effective solution for new cavities. They can also replace existing silver amalgam fillings that might be experiencing recurring decay. Besides being mercury-free, their tooth-colored appearance lacks the metallic sheen of silver fillings, making them a more cosmetically appealing choice, especially for restorations in the more visible areas of your teeth.

With proper care, these composite fillings can stand the test of time. Like most dental restorations, they may require replacement someday, but until then, they are here to provide durability and aesthetics in equal measure.

We're committed to utilizing the latest technology and finest materials to craft composite fillings that not only fit perfectly but also offer superior functionality and aesthetics. We'll guide you on how to care for your new fillings, ensuring you enjoy their benefits for as long as possible. Like your natural teeth, maintaining good oral hygiene, practicing healthy eating habits, and regular dental visits are crucial for prolonging the lifespan of your new fillings.

Don't hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions about composite fillings or to schedule a smile consultation with our dedicated team. We make it our mission to ensure your dental journey is as comfortable, transparent, and rewarding as possible.
