Salem Family DentalComposite Fillings

Composite fillings (also known as tooth-colored or white fillings) are made from a durable resin material mixed with fine glass particles. They are carefully shade-matched to your existing teeth, making them virtually invisible once placed—perfect for both front and back teeth.

Unlike traditional silver amalgam fillings, composite fillings offer several key advantages:

• Natural appearance — They mimic the color, translucency, and contour of your real teeth for a confident, undetectable smile.
• Stronger bond — The material chemically bonds directly to your tooth structure, helping reinforce and support the remaining healthy tooth.
• Conservative preparation — Less healthy tooth structure needs to be removed compared to other options, preserving more of your natural tooth.
• Mercury-free — A safe, biocompatible choice for patients seeking metal-free restorations.
• Versatile and effective — Ideal for treating cavities, repairing minor chips, or closing small gaps while resisting fracture in moderate chewing stress.

Our experienced team in Salem, New Hampshire uses advanced techniques to place composite fillings efficiently, often in a single visit, so you can quickly restore function and aesthetics with minimal discomfort.
