What Are Dental Fillings?
Dental fillings are used to restore teeth affected by cavities, fractures, or wear. At MYsmile Dental, we use composite resin (tooth-colored) materials for strong, durable, and aesthetic restorations—no silver or metal required.
We use fillings to:
Repair cavities caused by decay
Restore chipped or worn teeth
Replace old amalgam (metal) fillings
Protect teeth from further damage
Our fillings are carefully color-matched to your surrounding enamel and sculpted to look and feel like part of your natural tooth.
What Is Dental Bonding?
Dental bonding is a cosmetic procedure that uses the same composite material as fillings—but for aesthetic improvements rather than decay repair.
Bonding is ideal for:
Small chips or cracks
Minor gaps between teeth
Irregular or uneven edges
Teeth that are discolored or misshapen
Covering exposed roots from gum recession
It's a fast, conservative solution often completed in just one visit—with no drilling or anesthesia needed.
Dental Fillings vs. Bonding
If you're unsure which treatment you need, our team will assess your tooth and walk you through the options clearly and honestly.
What to Expect During Treatment
Examination & Diagnosis
We'll examine your teeth, take X-rays if needed, and determine if a filling or bonding is appropriate.Tooth Preparation
For fillings, decayed tissue is gently removed. For bonding, we lightly roughen the enamel to help the material adhere.Composite Placement
We apply and shape the composite resin in layers, curing it with a special light.Finishing & Polishing
The material is trimmed, adjusted for bite comfort, and polished to blend naturally with your smile.
We focus on precision and comfort, using gentle techniques and anesthetic when necessary.
