Dr. Dudley uses all the technology and training available to repair decayed or damaged teeth, with as little discomfort to you possible. One big improvement to filling cavities is to use color-matched composite resins to repair decayed teeth. These are often called white fillings, one of the easiest, yet most dramatic methods to improve the health and appearance of your teeth.
White fillings don’t use metal, so they’re healthier for you. Metal fillings can contain harmful mercury and can expand and contract over time, letting decay seep in underneath. White fillings fill in space in the tooth and last much longer than metal. In addition to being stronger and healthier, white fillings are tinted to match your own teeth. The filling blends in with your tooth and is imperceptible like you never had a cavity!
