Dental Fillings

Dental Fillings

At Peterson Family Dentistry, we provide comprehensive preventive and restorative dental care for the whole family, including tooth-colored fillings that blend seamlessly with natural teeth.

Why You Might Need a Filling

Tooth decay can cause a variety of symptoms, including:

• Sensitivity to hot or cold foods and beverages

• Persistent toothaches or jaw pain

• Bad breath or an unpleasant taste in the mouth

If left untreated, decay can spread and lead to more serious issues. A dental filling can repair the damage, relieve discomfort, and protect the tooth from further deterioration. During your visit, we’ll perform a thorough exam—and if needed, take digital X-rays to assess the extent of the decay.

The Benefits of Tooth-Colored Fillings

We offer tooth-colored fillings made from high-quality composite resin or porcelain. These materials are:

• Matched to the color of your natural teeth

• Durable and long-lasting

• Mercury-free and biocompatible

• Ideal for both front and back teeth

Unlike silver amalgam fillings, tooth-colored fillings maintain the natural look of your smile, without any visible metal.
