Repair your tooth and protect your smile

A damaged tooth doesn’t have to mean discomfort and a noticeable metal filling. Cavities are one of the most common dental issues, and they can happen even with good brushing and flossing habits.

We’ve got your back (and your teeth!). At Erickson Dental, we offer durable, tooth-colored Irving dental fillings that restore your tooth’s strength while blending naturally with your smile. Whether you need to treat new decay or want to replace older silver fillings, our team provides modern, comfortable care focused on long-term dental health.

Tooth-colored fillings are ideal for:

  • Cavities and early tooth decay
  • Chipped or worn teeth
  • Replacing old metal (amalgam) fillings
  • Patients who want a more natural-looking smile
  • Long-term protection against further damage

Would it be crazy to get your healthy teeth back? Schedule your visit with our Irving dental team today.

Benefits of dental fillings

Natural Appearance

Composite resin is color-matched to your tooth, so your filling blends in seamlessly.

Strong & Durable

Modern materials provide reliable protection and long-lasting strength.

Mercury-Free Option

Tooth-colored fillings contain no metal or mercury, making them a popular alternative to amalgam.

Preserve More Natural Tooth

Composite fillings bond directly to the tooth, allowing for a more conservative repair.

Comfortable Treatment

Most fillings are quick, gentle, and completed in just one visit.

Replacing your old silver fillings is easy!

Many patients still have metal fillings from years ago. While amalgam fillings were once common, they can darken over time and may weaken the tooth structure as they expand and contract with temperature changes.

At Erickson Dental, we can safely remove silver fillings and replace them with tooth-colored composite restorations for a healthier and visibly more natural look.

If you’re unhappy with visible metal fillings, we’d love to help you explore your options!

Step 2: Comfortable treatment

We numb the area to ensure a pain-free experience. Then, we carefully remove the decay while preserving healthy tooth structure.
