RESTORATIVE CARE

Dental Fillings

Restore Your Tooth’s Strength, Shape, and Function

Our goal is always to help patients prevent cavities through excellent preventive care. However, when tooth decay does occur, dental fillings are a reliable way to restore the strength, shape, and natural contour of the tooth while protecting it from further damage.

At Sorin Dental Wellness, we use modern, tooth-colored fillings to deliver durable, natural-looking results with your comfort in mind.

Tooth-Colored Composite Fillings

We exclusively use tooth-colored composite resin fillings, which are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. These fillings restore normal chewing function and, with proper home care and regular dental visits, can last for many years.

Composite fillings are a modern alternative to traditional metal (silver) fillings and offer several important advantages.

Benefits of Composite Fillings

Natural Appearance

Composite resins are available in multiple shades, allowing us to closely match your natural tooth color. This means your fillings remain discreet so when you smile or laugh, they’re virtually unnoticeable.

Micro-Mechanical Bonding

Unlike metal fillings, which rely on mechanical retention, composite fillings bond directly to the tooth using advanced bonding techniques. This creates a strong, secure seal that helps support the remaining tooth structure.

Flexibility & Tooth Preservation

Composite materials have a slight flexibility that more closely mimics natural tooth structure. Traditional silver fillings are rigid, which can place stress on surrounding tooth enamel over time. Composite fillings help distribute pressure more evenly during chewing, supporting long-term tooth health.

Replacing Old Metal Fillings

If you currently have metal fillings and are unhappy with their appearance or concerned about how they may be affecting your teeth, we’re happy to discuss replacement options. Many patients choose to replace older fillings with tooth-colored composites for improved aesthetics and comfort.

Thoughtful, Conservative Care

Every filling is placed with precision and care. We take a conservative approach, removing only what’s necessary and preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible.

If you’re experiencing tooth sensitivity, discomfort, or have been told you need a filling, we invite you to schedule an appointment to explore your options.
