Modern, mercury-free composite fillings restore decayed or damaged teeth with a natural, tooth-colored finish — protecting your health while keeping your smile beautiful.
Composite Fillings
A filling repairs a tooth that has been affected by decay — cleaning away the damage and rebuilding the tooth so it's strong and healthy again. At Monroe Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, we use tooth-colored composite resin instead of old-fashioned silver amalgam.
Composite is carefully shade-matched to your natural tooth and bonded directly in place — so your filling is virtually invisible. It's mercury-free, conserves more of your healthy tooth, and restores full chewing strength.
We believe a filling should do more than just fix a cavity. Every restoration we place is crafted to look natural and feel comfortable — because your smile deserves both beauty and lasting function.
Composite fillings contain no metal or mercury — just a durable, biocompatible resin that's safe for your body and your smile.
Each filling is precisely shade-matched and polished to blend seamlessly with your tooth — no dark spots, no metallic shine.
Composite bonds directly to the tooth, preserving more of your healthy structure while restoring full chewing strength.
