A filling should fix the problem and then disappear. Modern composite resin makes that possible. We shade-match the material to your own enamel, bond it directly to the tooth, and sculpt it to restore the original shape, so the repair blends in rather than announcing itself the way silver amalgam does.

Composites offer more than looks. Because the material bonds chemically to enamel and dentin, we can remove only the decayed portion of the tooth and keep more of the healthy structure that old-style fillings sacrificed. That bond also seals the margins of the restoration and reinforces the remaining tooth.

Plenty of Hilmar and Irwin families make the short drive to us for everything from first checkups to complete smile restorations, and we return the favor with scheduling that respects dairy-country hours.

Common questions

Where do Hilmar patients go for tooth-colored fillings?

Our office is at 1600 Colorado Ave, Building 3, in Turlock. Hilmar is about a fifteen minute drive from our Turlock office, an easy trip up Lander Avenue across the Merced County line. We have a single location and welcome Hilmar patients of all ages.

Will my filling be sensitive afterward?

Mild sensitivity to cold or pressure for a few days is normal, especially with deeper fillings, and it fades as the tooth settles. If sensitivity sharpens or lasts beyond a couple of weeks, call us so we can fine-tune the bite on the restoration.

Should I replace my old silver fillings?

Not automatically. A sound amalgam filling that seals well can stay right where it is. We recommend replacement when a filling is cracked, leaking, or has decay underneath, or when you want a more natural look. We will show you what we see and let you decide.

How long do composite fillings last?

Typically many years, often a decade or more for small to medium fillings with good home care. Size, location, bite forces, and habits like grinding all play a role, which is why we monitor every restoration at your checkups.
