Mercury-free tooth-colored fillings
Stronger, Safer Smiles with Mercury-Free Tooth-Colored Fillings in Nassau Bay
Cavities happen, even to those who brush and floss like pros. The key is catching and treating them early before they turn into bigger (and more painful) problems. At Nassau Bay Dental, we use mercury-free, tooth-colored fillings that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. No more dark metal spots—just strong, healthy teeth that look as good as they feel.
Traditional silver fillings? Those are a thing of the past. Our modern composite fillings are 100% non-toxic, durable, and aesthetically natural, so you get lasting protection without sacrificing your smile’s appearance.
Why Choose Composite Fillings Over Traditional Silver Fillings?
Not all fillings are created equal. While old-school silver fillings (amalgam) were once the go-to, they come with drawbacks. Here’s why mercury-free composite fillings are the smarter choice:
- Natural look – Blends perfectly with your tooth color—no metal mouth!
- Stronger bond – Bonds directly to your tooth, reinforcing its structure.
- Safer materials – 100% free of mercury and other harmful metals.
- Less drilling – Preserves more of your healthy tooth structure.
No temperature sensitivity – Metal fillings expand and contract with hot or cold foods, leading to cracks over time.
Signs You Might Need a Dental Filling
Cavities don’t always come with pain. That’s why regular checkups are key! But if you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s time to visit Nassau Bay Dental:
- Tooth sensitivity when eating hot, cold, or sweet foods.
- Dark spots or visible holes on your teeth.
- Sharp pain when chewing.
- A rough or uneven surface on a tooth.
Ignoring these signs can lead to more serious issues like root canals. Catch cavities early and save yourself the trouble!
Our Process for Tooth-Colored Dental Fillings in Nassau Bay
Getting a filling doesn’t have to be stressful. Our process is simple and pain-free:
- Gentle numbing – We ensure you’re comfortable before we begin.
- Decay removal – We carefully clean out the cavity without removing excess tooth structure.
- Composite application – The filling is layered and bonded for a seamless fit.

Once we’re done, you can eat, drink, and smile without a second thought.
Minimally Invasive Cavity Treatment for Long-Lasting Protection
At Nassau Bay Dental, we believe in preserving as much of your natural tooth as possible. Unlike metal fillings, composite fillings require minimal drilling, meaning more of your healthy tooth stays intact. That’s a win for your long-term oral health!
Comfortable Cavity Treatment with Sedation Dentistry
It’s no secret that dental work makes some people nervous. That’s why we offer sedation options to help you stay relaxed during your filling procedure:
- Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) – Keeps you calm while staying fully awake.
- Oral sedation – A prescribed medication to ease anxiety before your visit.
- IV sedation – Ideal for patients who prefer to be deeply relaxed during treatment.
No stress, no pain, just high-quality care in total comfort.
