Fillings

At some point, most people develop at least one cavity and require a filling. In the past, metal fillings were the accepted standard. Now, Dr. Hackbarth and many dentists prefer composite, or tooth-colored, fillings to repair damage and renew patient smiles. Traditional amalgam fillings can change shape over time, which may result in cracks or leaks. Composite fillings bond with your teeth to create a stable, natural looking restoration.

With tooth-colored fillings, Dr. Hackbarth can practice conservative dentistry and leave more of your natural structure than with amalgams. In fact, only you and your dentist will know which teeth have composite fillings. To place the filling, Dr. Hackbarth will remove the decay and clean the tooth. Then, he will fill the space with composite resin and use a special light to cure the material into a strong, attractive repair.
