At our practice, your child’s safety, health, and comfort are our top priorities. That’s why we never use mercury-containing silver (amalgam) fillings. Instead, we use BPA-free white composite fillings that are safe, durable, and tooth-colored.
Why White Fillings Are Better for Kids
White fillings are the modern standard in pediatric dentistry because they:
- Look natural: They match the color of your child’s teeth, so no one will notice a cavity was treated.
- Are safe: BPA-free composites are biocompatible and free from mercury, making them a safer option for children.
- Preserve more tooth structure: Composite material bonds directly to the tooth, which helps maintain strength and support.
- Durable and long-lasting: White fillings can withstand normal chewing and last for many years with proper care.
When We Use White Fillings
White fillings are ideal for:
- Treating small to moderate cavities in front or back teeth
- Repairing minor chips or cracks caused by injury
- Restoring teeth after pulp therapy when only a portion of the tooth needs filling
A Smile That Feels and Looks Healthy
Because white fillings blend seamlessly with your child’s natural teeth, they allow your child to smile confidently. The filling strengthens the tooth while keeping their smile looking natural, healthy, and beautiful.
We are committed to using the safest, most effective dental materials for your child, so you can feel confident in every treatment we provide.
