At Woodland Family Dental, we offer composite fillings, also known as tooth-colored or white fillings, as a modern and aesthetically pleasing solution for treating cavities and minor tooth damage. These fillings are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, making them an ideal choice for patients who want both function and beauty in their dental restorations.
By far the best dentist i’ve been to! (coming from someone with a dentist phobia!) i went to western dental for a checkup yesterday and was not satisfied with my appointment and decided to get a second opinion. i called this place this morning and was able to come in just a couple hours later! turns out i had THREE cavities that western dental didn’t even find and was able to get my fillings and a cleaning THE SAME DAY! everyone was so lovely and reassured me everything was fine. the building was also very clean and had a nice calming environment 🙂 10/10 will recommend everyone to go here!

What Are Composite Fillings?
Composite fillings are made from a durable resin-based material that can be custom-shaded to match the color of your natural tooth. They are commonly used to:
- Repair cavities caused by tooth decay
- Restore chipped or worn teeth
- Replace old or damaged silver (amalgam) fillings
Unlike traditional amalgam fillings, which are silver-colored and often visible when you smile, composite fillings offer a discreet and attractive alternative. They also bond directly to the tooth structure, which can help strengthen the tooth and preserve more of its natural integrity.
Benefits of White Fillings
Natural Appearance
Blends perfectly with surrounding teeth for a seamless smile.
Mercury-Free
Composite fillings are made without mercury, making them a safer alternative for many patients.
Minimally Invasive
Requires less removal of healthy tooth structure compared to amalgam.
Durable and Long-Lasting
Designed to withstand normal chewing forces, especially in small to mid-sized restorations.
Why Replace Silver Fillings?
Older amalgam fillings can darken over time and even expand or contract with temperature changes, potentially leading to cracks in the surrounding tooth. Replacing these with tooth-colored composite fillings not only improves the appearance of your smile but can also protect the long-term health of your teeth.
