At Mooring Dental, we are committed to maintaining the health and beauty of your smile. Dental fillings are an essential part of restoring teeth damaged by decay, preserving the tooth’s structure, and preventing further deterioration. Our team provides high-quality, tooth-colored fillings that blend seamlessly with your natural smile while offering strength and durability.
We offer several types of fillings, designed to meet the specific needs of each patient while maintaining aesthetics and functionality.
Composite fillings are made from a tooth-colored resin that closely matches the natural color of your teeth. These fillings bond directly to the tooth, strengthening the remaining tooth structure and providing a durable solution for small to mid-sized cavities. Composite fillings are an ideal option for patients looking for a discreet, aesthetically pleasing restoration.
For patients with more extensive decay or damage that doesn’t require a full crown, we offer CEREC same-day inlays and onlays. These custom-made ceramic restorations are crafted in just one visit, using advanced technology to fit your tooth precisely. Inlays and onlays provide excellent durability and a natural look, restoring both the appearance and function of your tooth.
Composite fillings offer several advantages over traditional metal fillings, making them a popular choice for restoring damaged teeth:
Composite fillings blend perfectly with your natural teeth, making them virtually invisible.
Composite fillings require less removal of the natural tooth structure compared to traditional metal fillings, preserving more of your tooth.
Modern composite materials are designed to withstand the forces of chewing, providing long-lasting results.
Composite fillings are mercury-free, offering a safe alternative to traditional amalgam (silver) fillings.
If you have older amalgam fillings and are concerned about their appearance or the presence of mercury, Mooring Dental offers safe amalgam filling removal and replacement. We use tooth-colored fillings or ceramic restorations to replace old silver fillings, enhancing the appearance of your smile while giving you peace of mind with mercury-free options.
At Mooring Dental, we prioritize your oral health and comfort. Dr. Sean Mooring and our team take great care to ensure your fillings not only restore your teeth but also look natural and feel comfortable. Whether you need a new filling or want to replace old silver fillings, we use the latest techniques and materials to provide long-lasting, aesthetically pleasing results.
