Composite fillings are an excellent alternative to traditional amalgam (silver) fillings. Unlike metal fillings, which can expand or contract with temperature changes, composite resins maintain a stable bond and provide a more natural feel. They also require less removal of healthy tooth structure, allowing for a more conservative treatment that preserves your natural enamel.

For patients with older metal fillings, replacement with composites can significantly improve both comfort and appearance. Many people notice reduced sensitivity to hot and cold and appreciate the way their teeth look brighter and more uniform.

Our team at CITIDental West Roxbury takes the time to match the shade of your filling to your existing teeth for a smooth, natural finish. The materials we use are designed for strength and longevity, meaning your restoration can stand up to years of normal function.

Whether you need a new filling or are considering updating your existing restorations, we focus on ensuring a comfortable, efficient experience and a result that supports both your oral health and your confidence.
