Why composite
Mercury-Free, Bonded and Matched to Your Shade
Deluxe primarily uses tooth-colored composite, the filling most patients want today. The ADA’s guide to tooth-colored fillings covers the material.
Matches your tooth
Shaded to your natural color, so the repair disappears into your smile.
Mercury-free
Composite resin and fine glass particles, with no metal.
Bonds to the tooth
It adheres directly, adding support to what’s left.
Saves more tooth
Less healthy tooth needs to be removed to place it.
How a filling is placed
- 1
Numb
Comfort first
The tooth is numbed, so you feel pressure rather than pain.
- 2
Clean
Decay removed
The decay is removed and the tooth is prepared to bond.
- 3
Bond & shape
Layer by layer
Composite in your shade is placed in layers and shaped to your bite.
- 4
Cure & polish
Done in one visit
A curing light hardens each layer, then it’s polished and your bite is checked.
Quick self-check
Could it be a cavity?
Cavities don’t hurt until they’re big. Tap anything you’ve noticed.
Tap anything that sounds familiar
Catch them while they’re small
Hygienists check every tooth for decay at every cleaning, and bitewing x-rays find cavities between teeth long before they hurt.
The repair ladder
Filling, onlay or crown?
The goal is always to save as much of your natural tooth as possible. How much of the tooth is damaged decides the repair.
Small cavity
Filling
Repairs a small area of the tooth with tooth-colored composite, bonded in place.
Too big for a filling
Inlay or onlay
A tooth-colored “partial crown” for a cavity too big for a filling. Less tooth is removed than for a crown.
Learn moreHeavily damaged tooth
Crown
A custom cap that covers the whole visible tooth to hold it together. Your new crown is placed the same day.

- Call: broken fillings are seen as soon as the same day

Nervous about a filling?
Fillings are typically done with local anesthesia. If you prefer, Dr. Godko offers nitrous oxide, oral sedation or IV sedation and is certified in all three.

“Blessing when I found this place. It was 2 years ago and I needed an emergency extraction. My old dentist was telling me I was overreacting and refused to X-Ray me. I googled emergency dentist and found Deluxe Dentistry and Dr. Godko saw me an hour later. And I'll never go to another dentist again. Have had excellent cleanings and very comfortable experiences with the extraction, implant, fillings and root canals. Highly recommend 10/10.”
“Dr. Godko takes time to listen to your concerns and explains what needs to be done and why. Dr Godko has a calming way and a very gentle touch.”
“Ive been to Deluxe Dentistry multiple times now and had fillings done and bite adjustments. Their services are unrivaled and their staff is beyond friendly ! Will be sticking with them”
“Professional state of the art dental facility. Dr.Maxim Godko has an excellent beside manner . Putting my fear of the dentist at ease along side with his assistant. I felt confident in the quality care I received. Thank you”
“I was terrified of the dentist they made my experience very good I thank God I found this dentist and I will definitely be returning”
“All of the staff, from the receptionist, to the hygienist, to the doctors were great. A great experience everytime we have an appointment here.”
“I was suffering from intense pain and needed a root canal over the weekend. They accommodated me at short notice and Dr Godko was kind enough to stay back late on a Saturday to explain things to me and complete the procedure.”
“Root canals are awful, but Deluxe Dentistry made things very comfortable for me. I even got to watch my favorite movie on Netflix!”

FAQ
Tooth-colored fillings: your questions, answered
Composite resin, a blend of plastic resin and fine glass particles, shaded to match your tooth. It bonds directly to the tooth and contains no mercury.
Yes. Tooth-colored filling, white filling and composite filling all describe the same resin restoration.
Yes. Composite works on front and back teeth. When a cavity in a back tooth is too large for a filling, an onlay or a crown protects it instead.
The tooth is numbed first with local anesthesia, so you feel pressure rather than pain. If you prefer, nitrous oxide, oral sedation or IV sedation is available, all given by Dr. Godko.
With good care, composite fillings hold up well: brushing, flossing, regular checkups and a nightguard if you grind all help. Every filling is checked at your exams, so wear is caught early.
When an old metal filling is cracked, leaking or has decay around it, yes, and composite is the natural replacement. A sound silver filling isn’t replaced without a reason; your exam shows which ones need attention.
Yes. Composite is hardened with a curing light before you leave. Wait until the numbness wears off so you don’t bite your cheek or tongue.
No. Whitening lightens natural teeth, not composite. If you plan to whiten, do it first so new fillings can be matched to your brighter shade; see teeth whitening.
