Protect Your Smile From Cavities

When too much bacteria builds up in your mouth, it results in tooth decay. As decay spreads through your teeth, it leaves hollow spaces in the enamel called cavities. Without treatment, cavities can lead to additional oral infections and tooth loss.

If you have a cavity, Dr. Grubb can revitalize your tooth with a composite filling. Learn how you can benefit from this highly convenient treatment.

Tooth-Colored Composite Fillings

Until recently, most dentists used amalgam fillings to treat cavities. However, their noticeable appearance is a disadvantage and many patients have become concerned that amalgam fillings contain mercury.

For your safety and convenience, we only use composite fillings at our practice. Made from a durable, tooth-colored resin, these fillings are customized to blend in seamlessly with your smile.

Benefits of Tooth-Colored Fillings

Composite fillings offer several unique benefits, some of which include:

• Customized to match the shade of your natural teeth
• Repairs cracked, chipped, and severely decayed teeth
• Restores full strength to your tooth
• Bonds directly with your existing tooth structure
• Preserves more of your natural tooth structure than amalgam fillings
