Looking for a natural, mercury-free solution for cavities? At Riverview Dental in Columbus, OH, our tooth-colored composite fillings blend seamlessly with your smile for a durable, discreet restoration — without the dark metal look.

​​

What Are Composite Fillings?

Composite (resin-based) fillings are made from tooth-safe materials that mimic the shade of your natural enamel. Perfect for repairing cavities or fractures, these fillings bond directly to your teeth and are custom-shaded for a flawless, natural appearance.​

​

Advantages of Tooth-Colored Fillings

• Aesthetic quality: Matches your natural tooth color, so fillings are unnoticeable

• Enamel preservation: Requires less removal of healthy tooth structure

• Strong bond: Reduces risk of cracking or leakage around the filling

• Mercury-free: Safe and clinically proven material

• Durable & long-lasting: Smart choice for both front and back teeth

​

What Happens During the Procedure

During a filling appointment you can expect:

1. A thorough numbing of the area to ensure your comfort

2. Removal of decayed tissue and thorough cleaning

3. Layered placement of composite material, shaped for a precise fit

4. UV curing to permanently bond the filling to your tooth

5. Shaping and polishing to match texture, function, and shine

​

We always check your bite to guarantee a comfortable fit and recommend follow-up reviews to ensure long-term success.
