Composite Fillings

There are various types of filling materials available, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. We will discuss the best option for restoring your teeth or your child’s. Composite fillings and silver amalgam fillings are the most commonly used today. Composite fillings are tooth-colored, allowing them to closely match the shade of your natural teeth, making them ideal for front teeth or other visible areas.

Dr. Terry Haskin and Dr. Gordon Goldstine will assess your specific dental needs and discuss the best filling options for you. Composite (tooth-colored) fillings are ideal for visible teeth because they blend in naturally, while silver amalgam fillings may be recommended for back teeth due to their durability.

Fillings typically last several years, depending on the material used and your oral hygiene habits. Dr. Haskin and Dr. Goldstine will provide guidance on maintaining your fillings and may recommend regular check-ups to ensure they remain in good condition.

Dr. Haskin and Dr. Goldstine prioritize your comfort during the filling process. Local anesthesia is used to numb the area, ensuring a painless procedure. They also offer the latest relaxation techniques to make your visit as comfortable as possible.
