What Are Tooth-Colored Fillings?
Nobody should feel self-conscious when they laugh or smile—especially after fixing a cavity. At Bentley Dental, our dentists place tooth-colored composite fillings that blend flawlessly with your natural teeth and protect your long-term oral health.
Fixing a problem shouldn’t create a new one—and we make sure it doesn’t.
We use tooth-colored fillings made from composite resin that matches your natural enamel exactly. Unlike silver (amalgam) fillings, these virtually invisible restorations bond directly to the tooth structure and provide long-lasting strength without compromising aesthetics.
Why Patients Prefer Composite Fillings
Blends with your natural tooth color
Preserves more of your healthy tooth
Bonds tightly to protect against further decay
No metal, no mercury, no shine
Safe for front and back teeth
Quick, painless, and long-lasting
A healthier, cleaner-looking smile that feels as good as it looks.
When Are Tooth-Colored Fillings Needed?
We use them to treat:
Cavities or minor decay
Small chips or cracks
Worn enamel or erosion
Replacing old metal fillings
Cosmetic reshaping of teeth
If it’s small, visible, or affecting your confidence—we can fix it discreetly.
Meet Your Dentist
With Dr. Matt Bentley’s hands-on expertise and state-of-the-art equipment, we don’t just repair teeth—we design restorations that look and feel like they’ve always been there.
What to Expect During Your Visit
1. Exam & Digital X-Rays
We assess the extent of the decay or damage and determine the best treatment approach.
2. Gentle Decay Removal
Dr. Bentley carefully removes any decay and prepares the tooth with minimal drilling—preserving as much structure as possible.
3. Shade Matching
We select a custom resin shade to match your natural enamel for an undetectable restoration.
4. Application & Curing
We layer the composite material into the cavity, shape it for a natural contour, and harden it with a special light.
5. Final Polish & Bite Adjustment
Your filling is polished and adjusted to fit your bite perfectly—so it feels and functions just like your real tooth.
Should I Replace Old Metal Fillings?
We safely remove cracked, leaking, or unattractive silver fillings and replace them with composite material.
Composite fillings are free from mercury and won’t expand or contract with temperature changes the way metal does.
Keep Your Smile Natural—Even After a Cavity
Cavities happen—but the fix doesn’t have to be obvious. At Bentley Dental, we create restorations that look natural, feel comfortable, and stand the test of time.
