Dental Fillings
Repair Cavities with Natural-Looking, Tooth-Colored Fillings
If you have a cavity or minor tooth damage, a composite dental filling offers a fast, effective way to restore your tooth’s health and function—without sacrificing your smile’s appearance. At Frost Family Dental in Metairie, LA, we use only tooth-colored composite fillings to ensure your dental restorations are both durable and natural-looking.
What Is a Composite Dental Filling?
A composite filling is made from a tooth-colored resin material that bonds directly to your natural tooth. It’s used to repair small to moderate areas of decay or damage and is carefully matched to the shade of your natural teeth for a seamless result.
Composite fillings are strong, aesthetic, and mercury-free—making them an excellent choice for patients of all ages.
Why You Might Need a Dental Filling
We may recommend a filling if you have:
A cavity caused by tooth decay
A chipped or worn-down tooth
Minor cracks or fractures
Sensitivity to sweet, hot, or cold foods and drinks
Old or worn-out fillings that need replacement
Treating decay early with a dental filling helps preserve your natural tooth and prevent more extensive procedures down the line.
