White Fillings for Cavities

Composite resin or tooth-colored fillings provide good durability for repairing cavities. They can be used anywhere in the mouth and are an excellent choice to blend the filling in with the natural tooth.
In the past, amalgam or metal fillings were the primary solution for filling cavities. Today, however, tooth-colored fillings are most used because they can blend in with the natural tooth color.
The resin used to make the composite filling is made of powdered glass and plastic resin. These combine to fill the cavity, providing a natural appearance that blends in seamlessly with the natural teeth. They can be used on front and back teeth.
When You Might Need a Filling
If you have a cavity, early tooth decay, or minor tooth damage, a dental filling might be the solution. At SmileCare Dental, we emphasize early detection and treatment to protect your natural teeth, and avoid more serious dental issues down the line.
Untreated cavities can progress quickly—leading to pain, infection, or even tooth loss. That’s why it’s important to schedule regular checkups and address any concerns promptly. After your dental exam and digital x-rays, our team will determine if a filling is needed and explain exactly which areas of the tooth require repair.
We use modern composite (white) fillings that not only restore your tooth but also blend seamlessly with your natural smile. At SmileCare Dental, your comfort and long-term dental health are always our top priority.
