Composite Fillings

Our Milpitas dentists offer cosmetic dentistry as a safe, durable, and aesthetically pleasing option for repairing teeth affected by decay, minor fractures, or aesthetic imperfections. 

What Are Composite Fillings? 

Composite fillings are made from a durable mixture of resin and finely ground glass particles, specifically engineered to restore decayed or damaged teeth while maintaining a natural appearance. Unlike traditional amalgam (silver) fillings, which are noticeable and can darken over time, composite fillings are tooth-colored and blend seamlessly with your natural enamel.

The procedure is quick, comfortable, and preserves as much of your natural tooth as possible. With composite fillings, you receive a restoration that protects your teeth and maintains your smile's beauty and natural appearance.

 

Benefits of Cosmetic Dentistry

Choosing natural-looking cosmetic dentistry improves your oral health, confidence, and overall. Here are three key benefits.
Natural Appearance
Our cosmetic dental treatments are designed to look completely natural and blend in seamlessly with your smile. This makes customized cosmetic work especially ideal for teeth that are visible when you speak or laugh.
Tooth Preservation
Because some of our cosmetic materials bond directly to the tooth so it helps maintain healthy tooth structure over time. Examples of this include composite bonding and tooth-colored fillings.
Longevity
Modern cosmetic materials are strong and long-lasting when cared for properly. They can withstand normal chewing forces while resisting cracking or wear, providing both functional and cosmetic benefits for years.

Composite Fillings vs. Amalgam Fillings

Amalgam fillings are safe and still used by dentists across the country. However, amalgam fillings can look like unsightly dark spots on teeth. Composite fillings in Milpitas offer several benefits over traditional amalgam fillings:

  • Aesthetics — They match the color of your teeth, so they're ideal for visible areas of the mouth.
  • Bonding Strength — Composite resin adheres directly to the tooth, reinforces it, and reduces the risk of fractures.
  • Conservative Treatment — Less healthy tooth structure needs to be removed compared to amalgam fillings, preserving more of your natural tooth.

Teeth Whitening: Brighten Your Smile, Boost Your Confidence

A dazzling smile can make a big difference in how you feel about yourself, and teeth whitening is one of the easiest ways to enhance your appearance. At My Milpitas Dentist, we offer professional whitening treatments designed to deliver noticeable results safely and quickly.

Whether your teeth have been dulled by coffee, tea, red wine, or simply the natural aging process, our whitening solutions can restore your smile’s sparkle. Professional whitening is far more effective than over-the-counter products because it targets deep stains while protecting your enamel.

During your consultation, we’ll assess your smile and recommend the option that’s safest and most effective for you. With a brighter smile, you’ll feel more confident in photos, meetings, and everyday life.

Veneers: Transform Your Smile with Lasting Beauty

If your teeth are chipped, uneven, or discolored, veneers may be the perfect solution. Veneers are ultra-thin shells of porcelain or composite material that are custom-made to fit over the front of your teeth, giving you a flawless, natural-looking smile.

At My Milpitas Dentist, we use high-quality materials and precise techniques to ensure your veneers look beautiful and last for years. Whether you want to fix a single tooth or completely transform your smile, veneers can correct imperfections while maintaining a natural appearance.

The process is simple and minimally invasive. After a consultation and smile design, we prepare your teeth, create custom veneers, and bond them securely for a durable, radiant result. 

Cosmetic Dentistry Technology

Digital Impressions

Our digital scanner takes quick, comfortable images of your teeth and creates a precise 3-D model. It’s clean, fast, and much more pleasant than previous methods that used putty-like substances and bulky trays.

 

Clear Aligners

Straightening your teeth doesn’t have to mean metal brackets and wires. Clear aligners are nearly invisible, comfortable, and removable so you can smile confidently throughout treatment.

What to Expect During a Cosmetic Consultation

Throughout your visit, our team ensures your comfort and keeps you informed, explaining each step and addressing any questions to make your experience stress-free. Here's what to expect:

  • Initial Exam — Your dentist carefully inspects your teeth during a thorough examination to identify any decay, cracks, or damage that need attention.

Frequently Asked Questions

We often recommend composite fillings in Milpitas because they provide a durable, natural-looking solution that protects your oral health while preserving your smile.

Natural Appearance

Made from a blend of resin and glass particles, these fillings can be precisely matched to the color of your natural teeth. This makes them nearly invisible, especially for teeth that are visible when you smile or speak. Unlike traditional amalgam fillings, composite restorations do not leave dark spots, so you can maintain a bright, natural-looking smile.

Strength and Tooth Preservation

Composite fillings bond directly to the tooth structure, which helps reinforce the tooth and reduce the risk of fractures. Because the bonding process requires less removal of healthy tooth enamel than amalgam fillings, more of your natural tooth is preserved. 

Durability and Versatility

Modern composite materials are strong and durable, making them suitable for both small and larger cavities. They can withstand everyday chewing forces while providing a smooth and polished finish that resists staining. Composite fillings can also be used to repair minor chips or gaps, providing both cosmetic benefits and restoring dental function.

Mercury-Free

Composite fillings are mercury-free, which makes them a safer and more environmentally friendly choice. They also allow dentists to perform minimally invasive procedures.
