At Guilford Hills Dental Care we utilize composite fillings and amalgam fillings based off of the patient’s need. Most of the time we use tooth colored composite fillings and we do that to restore very basic small cavities inside the patient’s tooth. Generally they can last anywhere from seven to ten years and as long as the patients keep them clean, sometimes they can last even longer than that, just really dependent on patient home care.

Restore Your Smile With a Tooth Filling
Understanding your options for dental fillings helps you make the best choice for your dental health. We use digital X-rays and intraoral cameras to examine your teeth carefully, showing you exactly where decay exists and helping us plan precise treatment. This advanced equipment lets us spot problems early and treat them effectively.
Our practice offers several filling materials to restore your tooth:
- Composite Resin – These tooth-colored fillings blend naturally with your teeth and bond directly to your tooth structure. This requires less tooth modification than other options. They work well for both front and back teeth.
- Amalgam – Made from a mix of metals, these strong, long-lasting fillings can withstand heavy chewing forces. They’re often used for back teeth where strength matters most.
During your visit, your dentist will discuss which filling material best suits your needs based on the cavity’s location, size, and your personal preferences. We’ll explain the benefits of each option and help you choose the right solution for your smile. Our team will also ensure your comfort throughout the filling process, typically completing your treatment in one easy visit. For larger cavities, your dentist may suggest an inlay, onlay, or dental crown.

After many offices turned me away for emergency services because I was not a current patient, Guilford Hills receptionist did everything she could to fit me in that day. I requested an emergency extraction. Dr. Newman introduced himself & evaluated the diagnosis of my tooth. He was very considerate of the amount of pain I was in, communicated what he was doing before he did anything, very gentle with the taps checking my tooth versus my regular dentist tapped them pretty aggressively & gave no warning. They made sure extraction was the choice I wanted to go with given I had the option to get a root canal, they had my consent. I didn’t even feel the injections to numb me up, only felt some pressure which he assured me would happen & to let him know if I felt any sharp pain. Absolutely painless. If you have any dental anxiety, I highly recommend this office. I am hoping to make this office my primary dentist.

It is a rare opportunity to walk into a business where everyone is always consistently kind and compassionate. I feel like staff listen and hear me when I ask or say something, it is addressed it directly and openly. I have never dreaded walking into an appointment, in fact I look forward to going because I always come out feeling uplifted and well cared for. Here is one business where old fashion manners, respect and caring for others are still in full swing! Many thanks to everyone, behind the scenes as well as the front line!

The staff were great. Very welcoming and friendly. Dr. Sargent was extremely thorough and takes a personalized approach by putting her patients first. She made me feel so comfortable and took much of her time to do a thorough examination, like I had never experienced before. Then clearly explained what she saw, made recommendations, and answered all of my questions. I would highly recommend this practice!

White tooth fillings are made of composite resin, a blend of ceramic and plastic. Unlike amalgam fillings, which are made of a blend of metals, they can be matched to the color of your other teeth so they aren’t noticeable in your smile.
Opinions vary widely on which fillings are safe and which are not. Some dental professionals feel that traditional amalgam (silver) fillings should be avoided because of the mercury they contain. However, the ADA and FDA believe they are safe and pose no threat to your health.
The life of your tooth filling depends on which kind of filling is used, its location, your oral hygiene habits, and other factors. Metal fillings typically last longer than composite fillings. For this reason, they may be better for hidden areas of your mouth that experience more force from chewing. With proper care, both kinds of fillings should last at least several years.
