Dental Fillings in Allen, TX

Stop Decay and Protect Your Smile

Cavities are one of the most common dental issues, but they’re also one of the easiest to treat. At Dayglow Dentistry of Allen, we use tooth-colored composite fillings to restore teeth after decay, cracks, or minor damage.

Our fillings blend seamlessly with your natural teeth — so no one will know you’ve had dental work done.

What Are Tooth-Colored Fillings?

Tooth-colored (composite) fillings are made from a durable resin that bonds directly to your enamel. Unlike silver (amalgam) fillings, composites are:

• Matched to your natural tooth color
  
• Strong and long-lasting
  
• Metal-free and mercury-free
  
• Less invasive, requiring less removal of healthy tooth structure
  

They’re a healthier, more aesthetic way to repair cavities and protect your teeth.

When You Might Need a Filling

Fillings are typically used to:

• Treat cavities caused by decay
  
• Repair small chips or cracks
  
• Replace worn or broken old fillings
  
• Improve the appearance of minor flaws in teeth
  

During your exam and cleaning, Dr. Kim will check for any areas that may need a filling to stop further damage.

The Filling Process

Getting a filling is quick, easy, and comfortable:

1. Preparation – The decayed area of the tooth is gently removed.
   
2. Bonding – Composite resin is applied in layers to fill the space.
   
3. Shaping & Curing – Each layer is hardened with a curing light and shaped to fit naturally.
   
4. Polishing – The filling is polished so it looks and feels like your natural tooth.
   

The entire process is usually completed in one visit.
