Fillings can fix minor imperfections, including minimal amounts of decay and small cracks in the teeth. Our tooth colored fillings, called composites, are made of a space age resin, reinforced with glass quartz particles in a specific shape and size that mimics a tooth’s physical properties. They look extremely natural.
   
Many of our patients in the Plymouth area have elected to replace their old failing gray restorations with these new tooth colored, metal-free fillings. Dr. Salimy uses only the most advanced materials for fillings, dental crowns, and other procedures at our office.

In placement of a composite filling, we first remove the diseased or weakened part of the tooth (as well as the old metal filling if present). We then carefully sculpt the missing part of the tooth with the new composite filling and it is bonded into place. The composite fillings are strong enough to provide years of function. The composites are customized to blend with you existing teeth. You will feel comfortable while eating and look confident with a cleaner, whiter smile.
