Tooth-colored fillings blend in with your natural teeth, so no silver shows when you smile.
A cavity is a hole in a tooth caused by decay. It doesn’t heal on its own, and it grows over time, eventually reaching the nerve and causing pain. Treating a cavity while it’s small with a simple filling saves more of your natural tooth and helps you avoid a crown or root canal later.
Tooth-colored fillings are made of composite resin, a durable material that’s shaded to blend with your tooth. Because the material bonds directly to the tooth, Dr. Jon Barnes can often remove less healthy tooth structure than older silver fillings required.
Many cavities cause no symptoms and show up only on an exam or X-ray, which is why regular checkups matter.
Dr. Barnes finds the cavity on exam or X-ray and explains your options.
The area is numbed so you're comfortable.
The damaged part of the tooth is gently removed and cleaned.
Composite is placed in layers, hardened with a curing light and shaped to fit your bite.
The filling is smoothed and polished so it looks and feels natural.
Most fillings are finished in one visit. Teeth with very large cavities may need a crown instead.

Cost depends on the size and number of surfaces involved. Most PPO plans cover fillings, though some plans pay a lower rate for tooth-colored fillings on back teeth. We’ll check your benefits, file your claim and give you the fee before treatment. We accept cash, credit cards, CareCredit, Cherry payment plans and some in-house finance options.
Treatment at Buffalo Creek Dental is provided by Jon Barnes, DDS, general dentist. Individual results vary; Dr. Barnes will recommend treatment only after an exam.
The area is numbed first, so most people feel only pressure and vibration. Mild sensitivity for a few days afterward is normal.
Many last for years. Grinding, chewing ice and new decay around the edges can shorten their life, so regular checkups help.
Composite hardens immediately, but wait until the numbness wears off so you don’t bite your cheek.
Often, yes, if they’re worn, cracked or leaking, or if you’d like a more natural look. Dr. Barnes will check whether replacement makes sense.
Yes. Our practice offers both composite and amalgam fillings. Ask Dr. Barnes about the pros and cons of each material for your tooth.
