Composite Fillings

Clearwater Dreams Dental

Restore Your Smile Seamlessly with Tooth-Colored Fillings

Gone are the days when treating a cavity meant compromising your smile with dark metal spots. At Clearwater Dreams Dental, we use high-quality composite resins that match the exact shade of your natural teeth.

Invisible Restoration

We shade-match the composite resin to your adjacent teeth, making the filling virtually undetectable to the naked eye.

Mercury-Free Safety

Our fillings are made from a biocompatible resin mixture, eliminating the risks and concerns associated with amalgam (silver) fillings.

Conservative Treatment

Composite bonds directly to the enamel, allowing us to remove less of your healthy tooth structure compared to metal fillings.

Chip & Crack Repair

Beyond cavities, composite bonding is excellent for repairing small chips, cracks, or worn edges on front teeth.

Amalgam Replacement

We can safely remove your old, dark silver fillings and replace them with white composite for a brighter, healthier-looking smile.

Instant Functionality

Composite fillings harden instantly with our curing light, so you can chew normally almost immediately after your appointment.

Everything You Need to Know

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do composite fillings last?
With proper care, brushing, and flossing, composite fillings are very durable and can last many years (typically 5-10 years or more) before needing replacement.
Do composite fillings hurt?
No. We numb the area completely before starting. After the anesthesia wears off, you might feel slight sensitivity to hot or cold for a few days, which is normal and temporary.
Can I replace my old silver fillings with white ones?
Absolutely. Many patients choose to replace old metal fillings for aesthetic reasons or because the old metal has cracked. We can discuss if this is the right option for you during your exam.
Will my insurance cover composite fillings?
Most dental insurance plans cover composite fillings, especially for visible teeth. Some plans may have different coverage for back teeth, but we will always check your benefits for you beforehand.
