See How Fillings Can Restore Your Smile
Amalgam Fillings vs. Composite Fillings
Amalgam Fillings
Amalgam fillings are different than gold fillings. Dental amalgam contains multiple types of metal, like silver, mercury, and tin.
While rare, the metals in amalgam can cause adverse reactions in patients with a metal allergy or sensitivity. Amalgam also looks metallic and can stand out in your smile.
Composite Fillings
These fillings are made from tooth-colored composite resin, which includes a mixture of metal-free synthetic materials.
Unlike amalgam, composite resin is hypoallergenic and won't cause any adverse effects. Composite fillings also look more subtle than amalgam fillings, blending in with your enamel and allowing you to discreetly repair your smile.

Can Children Get Dental Fillings?
While it may seem like fillings for children are unnecessary, they can play an important role in your child's dental health.
If cavity-causing bacteria spreads to the tooth roots, it may lead to an uncomfortable condition like an abscess or gum disease. After treating your child's dental decay, we can seal their tooth with a natural-looking filling to restore their bite, smile, and health.
We know your child may not be eager to visit the dentist's office, so we'll do everything we can to keep the experience comfortable, calm, and engaging for you both. We have a family-friendly team of caring professionals who will take the time to ensure your child receives the excellent care they deserve.

Dental Fillings Appointment Timeline
You can trust Drs. David M. Bonner and Reagan A. Bonner to alleviate your dental pain and refine your smile with fillings.
How to Prevent Future Cavities
Once your fillings have been placed, you can help ensure that your teeth stay healthy.
Brush Daily
Brush with toothpaste that contains fluoride. This mineral can help strengthen your teeth. If you need recommendations, you can ask Dr. Bonner about his top choices.
Floss Regularly
Plaque contains acids that eat away at your tooth enamel, causing cavities. Flossing each day will help you prevent plaque buildup. It will also help keep your gums clean and free from gum disease.
