The best and most prominent way to restore cavity-infected teeth is with dental fillings. At Ellis Dentistry Co., we use composite (tooth-colored) fillings that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
What Are Composite Fillings Made From?
Modern fillings have evolved from metals to composite resin — a biocompatible material that can be precisely color-matched to your existing teeth for an invisible restoration.
Advantages of Composite Fillings
- Biocompatible and mercury-free
- Simple and comfortable procedure
- Durable and long-lasting
- Excellent sealing properties
- Color-matched to natural teeth
How Are Fillings Placed?
- Diagnosis and x-rays
- Scaling and cleaning
- Etching the tooth surface
- Applying and shaping the filling
- Curing with a photopolymerizing light
