Composite Fillings

Tooth-colored fillings that mimic the color of your natural teeth.

Tooth-colored Dental Fillings

“Tooth colored” or composite fillings have become the workhorse of modern dentistry. They chemically bond to the tooth and blend in with existing tooth structure very well. They are less temperature sensitive and leak less than older amalgam or silver fillings. Our doctors almost always recommend composite fillings for newly damaged teeth and can even replace your amalgams for a younger, healthier smile! 

Signs you might need a filling:

  • Tooth pain
  • Tooth sensitivity
  • Pain when eating
  • Dental floss shreds
  • Dark spots
  • Bad Breath (caused by large cavities)

If you ignore your cavity it can turn into a more serious issue that requires a root canal. An untreated cavity can spread to the gums, jaw and mouth and cause an abscess.

 

Replacing old dental fillings

Bend Oregon patients that have had dental fillings for many years sometimes benefit from having them replaced. While fillings can last for a long time, even a lifetime, there are a few reasons for replacing them:

  • Cracks and gaps
  • Decay
  • Aesthetics (replacing silver fillings)
