Fillings

Dental Fillings

It used to be that dentists could only repair cavities with unsightly metal fillings. Not anymore. Today, our dentists can repair cavities and decay with modern, tooth-colored fillings.

Advantages of white filling over traditional metal fillings:

  • Composite fillings are mercury free, which is good news for those interested in long-term health.
  • They look great and blending in flawlessly with your teeth.
  • Composite fillings require less removal of natural tooth material, allowing for a more conservative restoration.
  • Composite fillings actually bind to the inside of your tooth, making it far less likely that they will become dislodged or fall out.
  • The resin used in composite fillings does not expand and contract in response to heat the way that the metal in amalgam fillings does. Over time, the minute movements of metal fillings can cause them to become loose or fall out.
Before and After Dental Fillings

For patients in the Las Vegas or Henderson Nevada area who want the best that restorative dentistry has to offer, tooth-colored fillings are a great alternative to silver amalgam fillings.
