Restore Strength & Beauty With Composite Fillings

If you suspect a cavity or spot damage on your tooth, we have a safe, effective solution. With Dr. Kaady's meticulous technique and focus on long-term health, you can feel confident that your care is both precise and protective.

We use tooth-colored composite resin made from biocompatible glass and plastic particles. Your restoration will be free from metal and mercury. The result is a durable, natural-looking restoration that supports your tooth's integrity and blends seamlessly into your smile.

Here's what to expect from your treatment:

Dr. Kaady will gently remove decay.
He will apply and sculpt the composite resin to match your tooth's natural contours.
The material is hardened with a curing light.
Final adjustments are made to ensure a smooth, functional fit.

Your restoration will look and feel like your natural tooth. With good care, it can last for years.

For larger areas of damage, we may recommend an inlay or onlay, which offers more coverage without the need for a full crown. If full coverage is needed, Dr. Kaady will work with a trusted lab to fabricate a crown that's both functional and biocompatible. If needed, sedation options are available to help you feel calm and comfortable throughout your care.

Dr. Kaady is a compassionate listener but also communicates directly about your dental needs - no ambiguity whatsoever. I was a reluctant and fearful patient BEFORE seeing Dr. Kaady. Three crowns later, I think Dr. Kaady is quite amazing: fast, efficient while tending to my anxieties about pain...

Anthony J.

As someone who has a level of anxiety around dental work, Dr. Kaady and his team put you at ease with their demeanor and by clearly outlining your treatment plan. I cannot recommend this crew enough. I have moved out of town but refuse to switch offices. I tell everyone I know to get in here.

Dr Kaady and all the staff that work with him at Bridgetown Dental are amazing. I have always had excellent care whether it is dental cleaning or something more serious like a filling or a crown. Not only is the atmosphere friendly but this is one of the most affordable dentists I have been to.

Philip L.

Can't say much more than that they are great! My son was treated for broken front teeth some years ago. They did such an impressive job that I decided to change dentists. Great people, and excellent work! Best dentist and assistants I have ever had!

How long does it take to get a tooth filling?

In most cases, a tooth-colored filling can be completed in under an hour. The exact timing depends on the size and location of the cavity, but the process is typically simple and efficient. Dr. Kaady will gently remove the decay, apply biocompatible composite resin, shape it to match your natural tooth, and use a curing light to harden the material.

What are tooth fillings made of?

We use a biocompatible composite material made from a blend of tooth-colored glass and resin. This mercury-free alternative is strong, natural-looking, and conserves more of your healthy tooth structure compared to traditional metal fillings. Because the material bonds directly to your enamel, it allows for a precise, conservative restoration that blends seamlessly with your smile.

Are tooth fillings safe?

Yes, when done properly with high-quality materials, tooth fillings are a safe and effective way to restore a decayed or damaged tooth. Dr. Kaady uses only mercury-free, biocompatible composite resin to ensure your restoration supports both your oral and overall health. This metal-free material blends naturally with your enamel and avoids the potential concerns associated with traditional silver fillings.
