These durable restorations help you maintain a healthy, confident smile without anyone knowing you’ve had dental work. Important benefits of our fillings include:
Call Smile Institute today at 305-990-2532 to schedule an appointment. Our experienced dentists have placed many tooth-colored fillings over the years, helping patients restore their teeth and maintain healthy smiles.
Our composite resin fillings are carefully chosen to match your natural tooth color, making them virtually invisible when you smile. We blend different shades of the composite material to create the perfect match for your teeth. Unlike dark metal fillings that can show through your teeth or be visible when you laugh, these natural-looking restorations keep your smile bright and confident.
Beyond their attractive appearance, composite fillings give you peace of mind by being completely metal-free. They bond directly to your tooth structure, so they provide excellent support while needing less drilling than metal fillings. This means more of your healthy tooth structure stays intact.
If you feel anxious about dental work, we offer safe sedation options to help you relax. Laughing gas provides gentle relaxation that wears off quickly, letting you drive yourself home afterward. The gas helps you feel calm and comfortable throughout your filling procedure while remaining fully awake.
If you need deeper relaxation, oral conscious sedation might be right for you. This prescription medication helps you feel deeply relaxed and often creates a dreamlike state. You’ll need someone to drive you home, since effects last a while. Many patients have little memory of their procedure.

White tooth fillings are made of composite resin, a blend of ceramic and plastic. Unlike amalgam fillings, which are made of a blend of metals, they can be matched to the color of your other teeth so they aren’t noticeable in your smile. They also cause fewer allergy issues than amalgam.
Although no definitive evidence has been found that silver mercury fillings are harmful to human health, we prefer to err on the conservative side. That’s why we use completely safe and beautiful composite resin tooth fillings. These tooth-colored fillings are made up of tiny particles of glass and plastic, not metal.
We use natural-looking composite tooth fillings that blend in beautifully with the rest of your teeth. On average, you can expect these fillings to last five to seven years, although some patients do get a longer life from them. Their longevity will ultimately depend on factors such as the location of the filling and your oral hygiene habits.
