Blends right in

Composite resin is matched to the color of your tooth. Once it’s placed and polished, it blends in.

Keeps more of your tooth

Composite bonds directly to the tooth, so the preparation stays smaller and more of your healthy tooth stays yours.

Done in one visit

Most fillings take 30 to 60 minutes per tooth. You leave the same day with the work complete.

^{What to expect}

How a tooth-colored filling is placed

Numbing

The area is numbed with local anesthetic, so the visit stays comfortable.

Decay removal

We remove the decayed material, keeping the preparation small to preserve your natural tooth.

Filling and curing

Composite is placed in layers, shaped to your tooth’s natural contours, and each layer is hardened with a curing light.

Polish

The filling is smoothed and polished to match the surrounding tooth. You’re done and back to your day.

^{White vs. silver}

What’s the difference between white and silver fillings?

Most patients today receive composite fillings. Silver amalgam is placed less often now, but you may have older ones.

Composite (tooth-colored)

Matches your tooth color, bonds chemically to the tooth so the preparation can be smaller, and modern composites have closed most of the durability gap.

Amalgam (silver)

Silver and visible, especially toward the front. Needs a slightly larger preparation to hold mechanically, with a long track record in high-pressure back molars.

^{Longevity and cost}

How long fillings last, and what they cost

Composite fillings typically last 7 to 10 years, and many go well beyond that with brushing, flossing and regular checkups. The bigger win is stopping the next cavity; our guide on how to prevent cavities covers the habits that matter most.

Fillings are the inexpensive fix. Treating a small cavity now costs a fraction of the crown or root canal it can grow into. Most PPO plans cover fillings, and we give you your cost in writing before your appointment.

^FAQ

Filling questions, answered

Are composite fillings as strong as silver fillings?

Modern composite is very durable and works well in most positions in the mouth. Amalgam keeps a slight edge in some very high-pressure back-molar situations, and your dentist will recommend what’s right for your specific tooth.

Should I replace my old silver fillings?

When they’re cracked, leaking or failing, replacement makes clear sense. Silver fillings still in good condition can stay, and swapping them for composite is an option if the appearance bothers you.

How long does a filling take?

Most single-tooth fillings take 30 to 60 minutes, including time for the anesthetic to set. Multiple fillings take longer, and we’ll give you the expected time when you book.

Does getting a filling hurt?

The area is numbed with local anesthetic, so the visit is comfortable; you’ll feel some pressure. Mild sensitivity for a day or two afterward is normal and settles on its own.

How much does a filling cost?

Typically $200 to $430 before insurance, depending on the tooth and the number of surfaces. Most PPO plans cover fillings, and we put your cost in writing first.
