Composite Fillings
Searching for mercury-free dentistry near you? Our holistic dentists in Grand Rapids, MI, offer composite fillings as a safe, mercury-free alternative to traditional silver fillings. What’s more, composite fillings help restore your teeth after minor decay, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
Benefits of Composite Fillings
Composite dental fillings offer many health benefits to your smile and overall health.
​
Restore Teeth with Small Cavities
Once a tooth develops a cavity, the decay will continue to spread unless treated. For this reason, it’s important to not delay cavity treatment. The sooner we can treat a small cavity, the more natural tooth structure we’re able to preserve.
Smile with Confidence
Unlike traditional silver fillings, composite resin fillings match the color of your natural tooth enamel. These white fillings are carefully color-matched to ensure they blend in with your smile.
​
Benefit from a Holistic Approach
Composite dental fillings do not contain mercury amalgam like their traditional silver counterparts. As such, you can experience peace of mind knowing that you’re choosing a safe, biocompatible option for your smile.
​
How to Care for Composite Fillings
Care for white fillings as you would the rest of your smile by practicing good oral hygiene at home. This includes brushing your teeth twice a day for two minutes at a time, as well as flossing once daily.
Likewise, we recommend that you continue seeing us for preventive dental care. While brushing and flossing removes plaque, only a dental professional can remove tartar—the main culprit of tooth decay and gum disease.
Please refer to our team for full care instructions.
