Tooth-Colored Fillings in Pleasant Grove, UT

Natural-looking, mercury-free fillings that repair cavities and blend right in with your tooth.

Tooth-colored composite fillings

When a cavity needs filling, we use tooth-colored composite resin that bonds to your tooth and matches its natural shade, so the repair is practically invisible. Composite fillings are strong, mercury-free, and conserve more of your natural tooth than the old silver amalgam fillings.

Most fillings are done comfortably in a single visit.

Why composite fillings

Composite bonds directly to the tooth, which means we can remove less healthy structure and the filling helps support what remains. It also looks natural, an important advantage for teeth that show when you smile.

If you have old, worn, or darkened silver fillings, we can replace them with tooth-colored composite.

What to expect

We gently remove the decay, clean the tooth, and place the composite in layers, shaping and hardening each one. We finish by checking your bite so the filling feels comfortable.

The whole process is usually quick and done with local anesthetic, and you can eat normally soon after.

Common questions

Tooth-Colored Fillings questions, answered.

Are composite fillings as strong as silver ones?
For most everyday cavities, yes. Modern composites are durable and bond to the tooth. For very large cavities under heavy chewing forces, we may suggest a crown or inlay instead.
Can I replace my old silver fillings?
Yes. Many patients choose to swap aging or darkened amalgam fillings for tooth-colored composite for both appearance and to remove failing old fillings.
Do fillings hurt?
We numb the tooth first, so the procedure is comfortable. Some mild sensitivity afterward is normal and usually fades within a few days.
