Restore Your Tooth Naturally With Tooth-Colored Fillings
For years, metal amalgam fillings were the standard for treating cavities, but they were noticeable and required more removal of healthy tooth structure. Dr. Russo offers a better solution with tooth-colored composite fillings. Unlike metal fillings, which require the removal of healthy tooth structure to create a mechanical hold, composite resin bonds directly to the tooth. This means less drilling, more preservation of your natural tooth, and a restoration that actually strengthens the tooth from within rather than simply filling the space.
If you are in the Orlando area and looking for a dentist who prioritizes both the health and appearance of your smile, we would love to welcome you to our practice.

What Are Tooth-colored Fillings Made From?
Metal fillings are made from a mixture of mercury, tin, copper, and other metals, whereas tooth-colored fillings are composed of composite resin and silica. These materials not only resemble natural enamel in appearance but also respond similarly to temperature changes and chewing pressure, providing benefits for both the look and health of your teeth.
What to Expect During Your Filling Appointment in Orlando
Getting a tooth-colored filling at Dr. Russo's Orlando office is a straightforward, single-visit procedure that most patients find far more comfortable than they anticipated.
Your filling is completely set by the time you leave our Orlando office. You can eat and drink normally as soon as the numbness wears off, with no waiting period or special aftercare required.
Tooth-colored Fillings Compared to Traditional Fillings
Tooth-colored fillings offer a number of benefits, including:
- Tooth-colored fillings don’t stand out when you smile or laugh. That means no one will know (except you and our team) that you’ve had dental work.
- Metal fillings expand and contract rapidly in response to temperature and can cause cracks in your teeth over time. Tooth-colored fillings “flex” more like natural enamel which deters cracks and insulates against changes in temperature.
- The tooth-colored filling procedure is less invasive than getting a metal filling. This allows more of your natural tooth structure to be retained, which benefits your long-term oral health.
No Metal, No Discoloration, Just a Natural-Looking Result
Tooth colored fillings are designed to match the exact shade of your natural teeth, giving you a healthy smile you'll feel confident about. Whether you're treating a new cavity or replacing old metal fillings, our composite fillings are durable, mercury-free, and virtually invisible.
