Resin (White) Fillings – A Natural & Safe Solution

At Marco Contreras, DDS, we prioritize natural-looking, biocompatible restorations. That’s why we exclusively use resin-based composite (white) fillings, which offer a durable and aesthetic alternative to traditional amalgam fillings.

Why Choose Composite (White) Fillings?

Unlike amalgam, composite fillings bond directly to the tooth, requiring less removal of natural tooth structure. They are also:

✔ Tooth-colored & natural-looking – Matches the shade of your teeth for a seamless appearance.
✔ Mercury-free & biocompatible – A safe, modern alternative to metal fillings.
✔ Strong & durable – Provides excellent longevity with proper care.
✔ Minimally invasive – Preserves more of your natural tooth structure.
✔ Versatile – Can be used for both small and moderate cavities.

When Are Composite Fillings Recommended?

We use resin-based composite fillings for:

✔ Cavities & decay restoration
✔ Minor tooth fractures or chips
✔ Replacing old metal fillings
✔ Cosmetic reshaping of teeth

A Safer & More Aesthetic Alternative to Amalgam

The American Dental Association (ADA) considers both amalgam and composite fillings safe. However, composite fillings offer aesthetic benefits and allow for a more conservative approach to tooth restoration, preserving as much of your natural tooth as possible.
