Dental Fillings That Don’t Look Like Fillings

Cavities, chips, cracks, and everything in between can happen, no matter how careful you are or the time and attention you put into brushing and flossing. When your smile gets damaged and needs care, we’re here to help. Simply put, a tooth-colored dental filling is how we stop your pain and discomfort, rebuild your smile, and make it look so seamless, you’ll have a hard time telling which tooth was damaged in the first place.

If your smile feels less than what it used to be and you need a filling, call us to schedule your appointment and smile confidently again.

Why We’ve Moved Beyond Metal Fillings

For many years, the standard for fillings was a silver-colored metal called amalgam. While it solves the immediate problem (making your tooth whole again), these fillings are often unsightly and could lead to fractures when done incorrectly.

At Holliday Dental, we’ve taken a more modern approach. Beyond repairing your smile, we can also replace old silver fillings with more aesthetic, conservative, and less likely to fracture tooth-colored fillings.

Your New Smile, Seamlessly Whole

Choosing a composite filling is about restoring your tooth in the best way possible. Whether it’s a molar at the back or the highlight of your smile front-and-center, you deserve a beautiful, lasting result you can feel confident in.

A Virtually Invisible Restoration: We take great care to match the composite resin we use to your natural shade. Once placed and polished, the filling itself is so seamless that you may not be able to tell it’s there.
Preserving More of Your Natural Tooth: Unlike metal fillings, composite resin bonds directly to your tooth’s surface. This stronger bond allows us to preserve more of your healthy tooth structure, resulting in a smaller, more conservative repair that actually strengthens the tooth and doesn’t put it at risk later.
0% Mercury, 100% Safe: You can have peace of mind knowing that our tooth-colored fillings are 100% mercury-free, safe, and biocompatible.

Your Comfortable Filling Appointment

Getting a filling is one of the most common and straightforward procedures in dentistry, and we believe the only surprise you should expect is how great your smile looks and feels after we’ve cared for it.

Get Comfortable: We begin by completely numbing the area around your tooth, so you’ll feel nothing more than a slight pressure from start to finish.
Preparing Your Tooth: Your dentist will gently and thoroughly clean the decayed or damaged portion of your tooth, creating a healthy and strong foundation for the new filling.
Placing Your New Filling: We place the soft composite resin in layers and carefully sculpt it to match the natural contours of your tooth. Your bite will feel as good as it did before, if not better!
The Finishing Touches: A special light is used to harden the filling in seconds, creating that durable and stunning finish in as little as a single visit. We’ll take the time to polish up your tooth, see how you feel gently biting down, and show you your complete smile as a final reveal.

Protect Your Smile for the Long Run

Don’t let a small cavity or an unexpected chip turn into a bigger problem. A simple, tooth-colored filling is a proactive step to protect your tooth and keep your smile healthy for years to come.
