Invisible repairs that blend seamlessly — restoring your teeth with natural-looking, mercury-free solutions.
When tooth decay threatens your smile, white dental fillings offer a natural-looking solution that preserves both your oral health and appearance. At Rappaport Dental in Jacksonville, we provide state-of-the-art composite fillings that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, eliminating the metallic appearance of traditional amalgam fillings while effectively restoring damaged tooth structure.
Dr. Drew Rappaport and the professional team at Rappaport Dental understand the importance of a beautiful, confident smile. Our Jacksonville dental practice specializes in tooth-colored fillings that deliver outstanding aesthetic results without compromising durability or function. We take pride in offering mercury-free dental options that support both your oral health and overall well-being.
White dental fillings, also known as composite fillings, are composed of a mixture of plastic resin and fine glass particles, which creates a durable, tooth-colored material. Unlike traditional amalgam (silver) fillings, these natural-looking tooth restorations match your existing tooth color for a virtually invisible repair. The composite resin material bonds directly to your tooth structure, requiring less removal of healthy tooth tissue compared to amalgam fillings.
These aesthetic dental restorations represent a significant advancement in modern dentistry. When you choose composite fillings at Rappaport Dental, you’re selecting a mercury-free dental option that many patients prefer for both health and appearance reasons.
White fillings offer numerous advantages beyond their natural appearance. The composite resin material bonds directly to your tooth structure, creating a strong seal that helps prevent bacteria from entering the treated area. This direct bonding also allows Dr. Rappaport to preserve more of your natural tooth structure during placement.
The tooth-colored nature of these fillings means you can smile, laugh, and speak with confidence, knowing your dental work remains virtually undetectable. The composite material can also be shaped and polished to match the contours and shine of your surrounding teeth, creating a seamless restoration that feels natural in your mouth.
Dr. Rappaport examines the affected tooth and evaluates the extent of decay to determine if a white filling is the appropriate treatment option for your needs.
The decayed portion of your tooth is carefully removed and the area is thoroughly cleaned to prepare for the composite filling material.
Your tooth is prepared for the composite material using techniques that preserve more healthy tooth structure compared to traditional amalgam fillings.
The tooth-colored composite resin is applied in layers and hardened using a special curing light to ensure proper bonding and strength.
The filling is meticulously shaped and contoured to match your natural tooth structure, ensuring proper bite alignment and comfort.
The composite filling is polished to match the texture and shine of your surrounding teeth, creating a seamless, virtually invisible restoration.
Traditional amalgam fillings have been used for generations, but composite alternatives offer significant improvements. Beyond the obvious aesthetic advantage, white fillings require less removal of healthy tooth structure and don’t expand and contract with temperature changes like metal fillings can.
Many patients also appreciate that composite fillings are mercury-free, thereby eliminating concerns about potential mercury exposure associated with amalgam fillings. At Rappaport Dental, we focus on providing metal-free dental care options that align with modern dental practices and patient preferences.
Modern composite filling materials have undergone significant improvements in durability. When properly cared for, white fillings can last 7-10 years or longer. Their longevity depends on several factors, including the filling’s location, size, and your oral hygiene habits.
Regular dental checkups at Rappaport Dental allow Dr. Rappaport to monitor your fillings and address any issues before they become problematic. With proper care, your composite fillings can provide years of functional and aesthetic benefits.
While white fillings may have a slightly higher initial cost than amalgam alternatives, many patients find the aesthetic and health benefits well worth the investment. At Rappaport Dental, our office coordinator, Carie, works closely with patients to explore payment options and insurance coverage for white fillings, making these cosmetic dentistry solutions more accessible to patients.
Most dental insurance plans provide coverage for composite fillings, especially when they’re placed in visible front teeth. For fillings in back teeth, coverage policies vary, but our team will help you understand your benefits and explore financing options if needed.
