Does Willow Family Dentistry use silver fillings?
No. Dr. Esther Jeong uses tooth-colored composite fillings exclusively. These resin-based materials bond directly to your tooth, match your natural color, and contain no mercury. They are just as durable as silver fillings for most cavities and look much better.

Dental Fillings
Cavities happen. Even people who brush and floss regularly can get them. When we find one, we remove the decay and fill the space with a tooth-colored composite material. The result blends in so well that you will forget which tooth we worked on. No silver. No mercury. Just a repair that looks like part of your tooth.
