Composite Fillings
Innovations in dental technology have made a trip to the dentist's office an entirely new experience for millions of Americans.
Composite Fillings Spring Mills, PA
For over 150 years, cavities were filled with a mixture of metals, including silver and mercury. It was perfectly normal to see dark grey areas in someone's mouth when they laughed.
But today, you can get your cavities, as well as any other smaller hollow areas in your teeth, filled with composite fillings. Composite fillings are made from resins that are matched to your tooth's color - so they become invisible when applied.
Composite fillings also provide an excellent seal on the affected area, so that tooth decay can be prevented. The factors that go into our decision to use composite fillings include:
- The size of the area that needs to be filled
- The location of the affected area in the mouth (i.e., a tooth that is heavily relied on for chewing)
- Allergies the patient might have
- The preference of the patient regarding the use of metals in the mouth
- Whether it is necessary cosmetically to have a tooth-colored filling

Our Patient Reviews
I would not hesitate to recommend Dr Dawson and the rest of the office. I’ve had a handful of dentists over the years and only left my previous dentist about 10 years ago because he retired. The staff here are caring and competent. Thank you!

This is a great dentist and very nice staff. Going to the dentist is not my favorite thing to do but the office staff is very nice all the way around.

Got my dentures here, the finished dentures fit so good I’m already eating a few things and I only have them three days. I can’t express how impressed and happy I am. So comfortable, thank you to all of the staff and Dr.Dawson. Highly recommend.
