Dental Fillings: Materials and Options

When decay is caught early, a filling quickly restores the tooth. Today's materials make fillings stronger, more natural-looking, and more comfortable than ever before.
Tooth-Colored Composite
Composite fillings are matched to your natural tooth color and bond directly to the tooth, preserving more structure. They are our preferred choice for most patients thanks to their appearance and reliability.
Other Options
Depending on the situation, porcelain inlays or onlays may be recommended for larger restorations. We help you choose based on the tooth's location, the size of the cavity, and your preferences.
Why Timely Fillings Matter
Treating a small cavity promptly prevents it from growing into a root canal or extraction. Altamonte Springs patients benefit from our conservative, tooth-preserving approach.
