Why Choose Beam Dental

Our dedicated team of dentists, implant specialists, hygienists, and care specialists in West Long Branch, NJ, works together to create a convenient dental experience.

White resin fillings, frequently called composite fillings, provide a modern way to repair cavities and other types of dental damage. Unlike traditional gold or silver amalgam options, these fillings are designed to match the natural color of your teeth, allowing them to blend seamlessly into your smile.

Beyond their aesthetic appeal, composite fillings are highly durable and versatile. At our West Long Branch office, we use them to fix cavities, repair minor chips or cracks, and even close small gaps between teeth. Because the resin bonds directly to your tooth enamel, our dentists often don't need to remove as much healthy tooth structure as they would with other restorative options.

  • The process is straightforward: your dentist will remove any decay under a local anesthetic and then apply the resin in thin layers. Each layer is cured with a specialized light before the filling is shaped and polished to fit your bite perfectly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the procedure for getting a filling hurt?

Most patients do not experience pain during the process. Your dentist will use a local anesthetic to numb the area around the tooth, though you may still feel some light pressure or vibration from the tools.

How long can I expect my white fillings to last?

With proper care, resin fillings typically last between seven and 10 years. To help them last, we recommend regular brushing and flossing, and avoiding extremely hard or sticky foods that could chip the material.

Are composite fillings better than silver fillings?

The best choice depends on your specific needs and preferences. Composite fillings offer a natural appearance and require less drilling, while silver fillings are often chosen for their durability in larger repairs on back molars.

What exactly are tooth-colored fillings?

They are made of a specialized acrylic resin used to treat cavities and structural damage. Because they match the shade of your natural teeth, they are virtually unnoticeable once placed.
