Composite Fillings
Tooth colored fillings are a great alternative for patients who don’t want the appearance of metal fillings. For this reason, we often recommend composite filling treatments for adult teeth that are in the front and most noticeable. Our Grand Rapids dentist is able to match the color of the filling to the color of your natural tooth enamel. Composite fillings can also be used for the back teeth. Did you know that metal fillings can expand and contract with fluctuating temperatures?
Restorative Dentistry
This movement can cause tooth fillings to crack and let in dental plaque and oral bacteria. Composite fillings, on the other hand, are more durable and won’t expand and contract. If you suspect you have a toothache and suspect a cavity, please don’t hesitate to call our Grand Rapids dentist office.
Composite fillings are made out of a plastic and glass mixture to mimic the appearance and function of natural tooth enamel. Many of our patients appreciate being able to choose white fillings to maintain a beautiful smile. Our Grand Rapids fillings dentist will be able to restore your smile with composite fillings after drilling out tooth decay.
