Cavity? No stress. Come on over and we'll have it handled expertly in no time at all.
Composite fillings at Alpine Dental
Composite fillings are made from a tooth-colored resin that bonds directly to your tooth. Unlike older silver amalgam fillings, composite fillings match the natural shade of your enamel so they blend right in. Strong, durable, and safe for patients of all ages.
If you have silver amalgam fillings that are cracking, discoloring, or simply due for replacement, we can swap them out for tooth-colored composites. The difference in appearance is significant and the procedure is straightforward. If the decay is too large for a filling, a dental crown may be the better option, and we'll walk you through it.
Cavities in baby teeth need treatment too. We use the same tooth-colored fillings for children, in a calm and unhurried environment that makes the whole appointment easier for kids and parents alike.
Getting a filling at Alpine Dental
We numb the area first so you won't feel a thing during the procedure. Then we remove the decayed portion, clean the area thoroughly, and apply the composite resin in layers, hardening each one with a curing light. Once shaped and polished, it sits flush with your surrounding tooth and looks completely natural.
Most fillings take under an hour. You can go about your day right after, with only minor sensitivity for a day or two.
Stress-free visits, every time
We work around your schedule, not the other way around. Early appointments, flexible hours, and a team that respects your time.
We work with most major insurance providers and offer flexible payment plans and membership options for patients without coverage. Our team walks you through your costs before treatment begins so there are no surprises. See payment options.
