Composite Dental
Fillings
An untreated cavity may not seem like much cause for concern at first. However, if you put off your visit with the team at Restorative Dentistry Group, that cavity could lead to discomfort, bad breath and even infection. You may also run the risk of losing the tooth. If you are dealing with a cavity, call Restorative Dentistry Group at 720-784-8984. A member of our team will schedule you for an appointment with our doctors and team for a composite dental filling.
Restore Your Teeth With Tooth-Colored Fillings
Unlike traditional metal amalgam fillings, composite fillings are made from a tooth-colored resin that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth. This means no dark spots or metallic appearance — just a clean, natural-looking restoration. Composite resin also bonds directly to the tooth structure, which allows our prosthodontists to preserve more of your healthy tooth during the procedure.
The filling process is straightforward and typically completed in a single visit. After removing the decay, our doctors shape and apply the composite material in layers, hardening each layer with a special curing light. The result is a durable, comfortable filling that restores both the strength and appearance of your tooth.
