A Natural Approach to Cavity Treatment

Fillings are used to seal small holes in your teeth—known as cavities—preventing decay from spreading deeper into the tooth.

Why Fillings Are Needed

  • Stop the spread of tooth decay
  • Restore damaged tooth structure
  • Protect the tooth from further infection
  • Maintain strength and function

Why Choose Metal-Free

  • A natural, seamless appearance
  • Strong bonding to the tooth structure
  • Durable and long-lasting results
  • Aesthetic alternative to metal fillings
Understanding

Types of Fillings

There are two main types of dental fillings:

Traditional Amalgam Fillings

Made from a blend of mercury, silver, tin, and copper, these fillings are strong and cost-effective but more visible.

Tooth-Colored (Metal-Free) Fillings

Made from composite, porcelain, or glass ionomer materials, these fillings blend naturally with your teeth while bonding directly for added strength and support.
