Composite Fillings

At Sundance Dental Care, we offer composite fillings as an option when a cavity occurs. These are a great option because of the support they provide, and our dentists will carefully pick out a color that blends seamlessly with your natural tooth color. For more information about composite fillings in Phoenix, Arizona, we invite you to give us a call at 623-936-6665 and schedule an appointment with Dr. Rebecca Schaffer or Dr. Mai-Ly Duong.

Traditionally, dental fillings have been made of silver amalgam. However, our dental office uses only composite, or tooth-colored, filling material. Our dentists and team have chosen to use composite filling materials in order to provide you with a more natural-looking result and to promote better long-term oral health. There are many benefits to composite fillings, including:

• Material that bonds to your tooth to provide more support for the tooth’s structural integrity

• Reduced risk of the treated tooth breaking or fracturing in the future

• Insulation from temperature changes caused by foods and beverages

• Better seals around the edges of the damaged area, increasing the tooth’s resistance to decay and leaks

• The ability to correct cavities that are too small for amalgam fillings to repair

• Fillings that can be repaired and replaced without being removed from the tooth

• No mercury or other metals are used, making the filling safer

When you receive a composite dental filling, our dentists will carefully select a filling that matches your natural tooth color to give you a more beautiful and healthier-looking smile. Fillings can usually be placed in a single appointment.
