Reverse Damage With Tooth-Colored Fillings

Our patients love that Johnson Dentistry is a metal-free dental practice. That means any fillings you receive from us will be completely free of metal. Dr. Johnson uses composite resin material to form our great-looking dental fillings. This durable material is made up of tiny particles of glass and plastic that bond to your teeth to repair tooth decay.

Here’s how the process works:

  • Dr. Johnson will use a guide to select the appropriate shade of composite to blend in perfectly with your other teeth.
  • Once he applies the resin and sculpts it to look natural, we will use a special lamp that instantly hardens and cures the filling.
  • You will leave our office ready to bite and chew any kind of foods you want. Your new filling should give you many years of use.

If your cavity is more substantial and an ordinary filling won’t work, we can place an inlay or onlay instead. These long-lasting restorations are usually made from lifelike porcelain and bond to the top (inlay) or top and sides (onlay) of the tooth. We’ll take impressions of your tooth so that our lab partner can customize your new restoration to exact specifications. If you have even more extensive damage, we can make a crown for you right in our office, using our CEREC system.
