Our dentist typically recommends fillings if a tooth has sustained damage from cavities or from minor fracturing our chipping. Fillings work by literally “filling in” the damaged tooth structure to restore the tooth to its original structure and function. There are two main types of dental fillings, amalgam and composite.
While we offer both silver and tooth-colored fillings, our dentist prefers to use tooth-colored composite fillings whenever possible. This type of filling produces healthier and more natural-looking results as well as a strong and long-lasting solution for your smile.

Disadvantages of Silver Fillings
Silver fillings have many drawbacks. First and foremost, they are made of an amalgam of several materials, including mercury. This means that your fillings can corrode and leak, causing problems for your health and well as the appearance of your smile. Silver fillings can also become worn down or weakened, which leads to less protection for your tooth and increases your risk of cavities.
Advantages of Composite Fillings
Composite dental fillings are bonded to the teeth, which creates a right fit to the natural tooth. They work to protect, preserve and strengthen your natural tooth structure to give you a better long-term result for your smile and your oral health.


Dental Sealants
Dental sealants are highly effective at preventing tooth decay and the chewing surfaces of the teeth. Sealants are typically provided when the permanent molars begin to come in, though adults can also receive this treatment. Sealants consist of a tooth-colored resin, which is painted onto the tooth surface. This resin forms a smooth, protective coating which shields the tooth and works to “seal out” decay-causing plaque, bacteria, acids and food debris. Sealants can be applied in just a few minutes and last several years.


Dental Cleanings (Prophylaxis)
Dental cleanings are one of the most important services provided at our office. They help to keep your teeth free from decay and periodontal disease, and they help to maintain the health of your teeth, gums and supporting oral structures. Additionally, regular dental cleanings and exams allow our dentist to monitor your oral health for any developing problems and provide treatment before the issue becomes serious. You should receive a dental cleaning every six months.
