Tooth-colored fillings · Frisco, Texas
Repair the tooth.Preserve the smile.Naturally discreet.
Custom-shaded composite resin can repair cavities and minor damage while maintaining the natural color, structure, and character of your smile.
Repair cavities and protect your smile
Restore damaged teeth without compromising appearance.
Health and aesthetics can be restored together.
Visible metal does not have to be the tradeoff for repairing a cavity. Tooth-colored fillings rebuild damaged areas using composite resin selected to coordinate with your existing enamel.
Stonebriar Smile Design combines careful shade selection with precise shaping to protect the tooth while preserving a smile that looks naturally your own.
Why Stonebriar
A conservative restoration with thoughtful attention to detail.
Custom-shaded enamel match
Composite resin is adjusted to coordinate with surrounding enamel and avoid the gray appearance associated with metal fillings.
Quick, comfortable treatment
The material is placed, shaped, and hardened efficiently with a curing light during a streamlined restorative visit.
Composite instead of amalgam
Glass and plastic-based composite resin provides a metal-free solution that bonds directly to damaged tooth structure.
What are tooth-colored fillings?
Composite resin shaped directly to your tooth.
Traditional amalgam combines metals such as mercury and copper. Tooth-colored fillings instead use a putty-like composite made from glass and plastic, offering a modern metal-free approach.
Match the shade
Your dentist adjusts the composite color to coordinate with the enamel surrounding the damaged area.
Place and shape
The resin is applied to the prepared tooth and carefully sculpted to restore its natural contour and align with your bite.
Harden the result
A curing light instantly hardens the material before the restoration is refined and polished.
Benefits of composite fillings
More natural structure. Less visible dentistry.
Composite resin is designed to repair the damaged area efficiently while supporting a natural appearance and conservative treatment approach.
Tooth-colored fillings offer:
- A natural match: No gray sheen or noticeably different color
- Conservative preparation: More healthy tooth structure can remain intact
- Stable shape: Composite does not contract and expand like metal
- Reduced sensitivity potential: Less response to temperature-related material changes
- Balanced force: Stress can be distributed more evenly through the restored tooth
Replacing metal fillings
Know when an older filling needs attention.
Not every amalgam filling needs immediate replacement. However, an older restoration accompanied by pain or sensitivity may indicate that the tooth is breaking down further and should be evaluated.
Because metal fillings can act like a wedge within a compromised tooth, replacement may eventually be appropriate. Composite resin distributes force differently and allows modern dentistry to restore and protect the tooth while maintaining a natural-looking smile.
