At Twin Branch Dental, we are able to repair broken and decayed teeth with white fillings (also called composite fillings) or silver fillings (also called amalgams). Tooth colored composite fillings are free of mercury so you can rest easy knowing that your health is our top priority.  White fillings are not only safe, but they also give a more natural looking result than traditional silver amalgam fillings. 

What to Expect

While some small fillings can be completed without utilizing anesthetic, most require local anesthesia to numb the tooth prior to starting the procedure.  The Doctor will then remove any tooth decay and existing filling material. This helps to provide a stable base for your new restoration.  The tooth is then kept dry and carefully prepared.  Next, the tooth-colored filling material is placed and cured in place with a special blue light to help it harden.
