What Are Tooth-Colored Fillings?
Nobody should feel self-conscious when they laugh or smile—especially after fixing a cavity. At Bentley Dental, we use tooth-colored composite fillings that blend in flawlessly with your natural teeth while protecting your long-term oral health.
Because fixing a problem shouldn’t create a new one.
Tooth-colored fillings are made of a composite resin material designed to match the exact shade of your natural enamel. Unlike silver (amalgam) fillings, they’re virtually invisible and bond directly to the tooth structure, providing 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.

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
The composite material is layered into the cavity, shaped for a natural contour, and hardened 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?
If you have visible silver fillings that are cracked, leaking, or bothering you cosmetically, we can safely remove 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 make restorations that blend in, feel natural, and last for years.
