Valantine Family Dentistry:
Healthy Teeth, Invisible Repairs

When you hear "dental filling," you might picture the silver amalgam fillings of the past. Today’s modern fillings are a completely different experience. We use a high-quality composite resin, a durable material that can be precisely matched to the natural shade of your own teeth.

Unlike old metal fillings that are simply packed into place, this composite material is chemically bonded to the tooth. This creates a stronger, more integrated repair that not only fills the cavity but also helps to hold the tooth together, preserving its integrity from the inside out.

Choosing a composite filling means you’re not only restoring your tooth’s health but also investing in its long-term appearance and strength. Our patients love them because they offer a combination of benefits that older materials simply can’t match.

• A Flawless Match: We custom-tint the resin to blend seamlessly with your surrounding teeth. The repair is so natural-looking that no one will ever know it’s there.
• Preserves More of Your Tooth: Composite fillings require less removal of healthy tooth structure compared to traditional metal fillings, allowing us to keep your tooth as strong as possible.
• A Strong, Lasting Bond: The bonding process seals the tooth tightly, effectively locking out bacteria and preventing future decay under the filling.
• Completely Metal-Free: For patients who are concerned about mercury or prefer a more healthy approach, our tooth-colored fillings are a safe, biocompatible choice.
