Restore Strength & Beauty With Composite Fillings

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.

Common Questions About Tooth Fillings
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.
