Our Fillings Options

We offer composite resin fillings, which are designed to match the natural color of your teeth. These fillings are an excellent choice for a seamless, natural look and are ideal for treating cavities or repairing minor tooth damage.
Replacing Amalgam fillings
If you have existing silver (amalgam) fillings and wish to replace them with tooth-colored fillings, we can help! While we don’t routinely recommend removing and replacing amalgam fillings unless there’s an issue, we do offer this service to our patients who prefer a more natural appearance for their teeth.
