Tooth-Colored Fillings
in Fort Wayne
Tooth-colored composites sculpted to match the tooth they are repairing. No silver. No mercury.
Medically reviewed by Dr. Logan Goodrich, Associate Dentist.
In short
Tooth-colored fillings at Middleton Family Dentistry in Fort Wayne use composite resin shade-matched to your tooth, with no silver and no mercury; we have not placed amalgam in over a decade. For larger restorations we use biomimetic techniques that preserve as much tooth structure as possible, and when a tooth is too compromised for a filling, we recommend an onlay or crown instead.
The
work.
Every filling we place is composite resin matched to your tooth's shade. We have not placed silver amalgam in over a decade: aesthetically they are distracting, and in terms of longevity, modern composites have caught up and in many cases surpassed them.
For larger restorations, we use biomimetic techniques that preserve as much tooth structure as possible, and when a tooth is too compromised for a filling, we say so and recommend an onlay or crown instead.
