Natural-Looking Cavity Repair

​

Tooth-colored fillings, also known as composite fillings, offer a durable, aesthetic solution for treating cavities and minor tooth damage. Unlike traditional silver (amalgam) fillings, composite fillings are made from a tooth-colored resin that blends beautifully with your natural enamel—so no one will even notice it’s there.

​

Whether you need a new filling or want to replace older metal ones, tooth-colored fillings provide a conservative, attractive way to restore your smile.

​

Why Choose Tooth-Colored Fillings?

​

There are many benefits to choosing composite fillings over traditional materials:

​

• Seamless appearance – Matched to the shade of your natural teeth

• Strong and durable – Designed to hold up to daily wear

• Conservative treatment – Requires less removal of natural tooth structure

• Mercury-free – Safe, modern materials

• Versatile use – Can repair chipped, cracked, or worn teeth in addition to cavities

• ​

Tooth-colored fillings bond directly to the tooth, which helps strengthen the surrounding structure and reduces the risk of future breakage.

 

What to Expect During Treatment

​

Placing a tooth-colored filling is a quick and comfortable procedure. After gently removing any decay or damage, Dr. Struve will apply the composite material in layers, curing it with a special light as each layer is added. Once shaped and polished, your tooth will look and feel natural again—often in under an hour.
