At Jackman Family Dental, you won’t ever have to worry about a metal filling that looks out of place with your smile. We use only amalgam-free fillings that blend in naturally. Our metal-free tooth fillings are made of composite resin, which contains tiny particles of glass and plastic that fill in cavities. These fillings offer many benefits, including:

  • A discreet appearance that won’t draw unwanted attention to your restoration
  • Less invasive placement, as we won’t need to remove as much healthy tooth structure
  • Durability, as your filling will last for several years before needing replacement

Receive Other Types of Smile Repair if Needed

If your cavity or dental damage is too large for a standard filling, we can help with another type of restoration. Other options include:

  • Inlays – Inlays are usually made from porcelain and are placed on the top of a damaged tooth between the cusps (tips).
  • Onlays – Onlays are similar to inlays, except that they also extend onto the sides of your tooth.
  • Dental Crowns – We can have a new crown made that will completely cover your tooth, strengthening it and restoring your chewing capacity.

Common Questions About Tooth Fillings
What are white tooth fillings made of?

White tooth fillings are made of composite resin, a blend of ceramic and plastic. Unlike amalgam fillings, which are made of a blend of metals, they can be matched to the color of your other teeth so they aren’t noticeable in your smile. They also cause fewer allergy issues than amalgam.

Which tooth fillings are safe?

At Jackman Family Dentistry, we have chosen to offer only metal-free, tooth-colored composite resin fillings. We want to give our patients complete peace of mind about their oral health, so we don’t place any metal fillings here. While many experts believe that metal fillings pose no risk to patients, we prefer to be more conservative with our treatment.

When do tooth fillings need to be replaced?

The life of fillings will vary, depending on their location and your oral hygiene, among other factors. A composite filling typically lasts from five to 10 years. No filling is designed to last a lifetime. You can maximize the life span of any filling by brushing and flossing every day and visiting us at least twice a year for professional cleanings.
