Cavities don’t have to mean silver spots in your smile. At Inspire Dental & Orthodontics, we place mercury-free composite fillings that are color-matched to your natural teeth — strong, durable, and virtually invisible. We accept Medicaid, CHIP, and most PPO plans, and same-day appointments are available at all three DFW locations.
Composite fillings are the modern standard for treating cavities and minor tooth damage. Unlike traditional silver amalgam, composite resin is color-matched to your natural enamel so the restoration is virtually invisible. According to the Journal of the American Dental Association, tooth-colored composites bond directly to tooth structure, which means less healthy tooth needs to be removed compared to silver fillings. At Inspire Dental, every composite filling is placed by a licensed dentist and polished to a smooth, natural finish -- mercury-free and built to last.
Natural Appearance
Composite resin is color-matched to your existing teeth. Once placed and polished, the filling blends seamlessly -- nobody will know it's there.
Mercury-Free
Composite fillings contain no mercury or metals. They are made from biocompatible resin materials that are safe for patients of all ages, including children.
Minimally Invasive
Composite bonds directly to tooth structure, so less healthy enamel needs to be removed compared to traditional amalgam fillings.
Strong and Durable
Modern composites are designed to withstand chewing pressure. With proper care, tooth-colored fillings typically last 5 to 10 years or longer.
Versatile Use
Composite resin treats cavities, chips, cracks, and worn edges. It's also used in dental bonding to reshape or repair front teeth cosmetically.
Medicaid and PPO Accepted
We accept Medicaid, CHIP, and most PPO plans for filling procedures. Our front desk team will verify your benefits before treatment begins.
Think you might have a cavity? Don't wait -- small cavities are quick to fill and less costly to treat early. Inspire Dental accepts Medicaid, CHIP, and most PPO plans and offers same-day appointments at all three locations.
Book a Filling AppointmentGetting a tooth-colored filling at Inspire Dental is a straightforward, comfortable procedure. Most appointments take 30 to 60 minutes and are completed in a single visit.
Exam and X-Ray
We assess the cavity or damage, review your x-rays, and confirm that a composite filling is the right treatment. We explain everything before we start.
Numbing the Area
Local anesthesia is applied to fully numb the tooth and surrounding gum tissue. Most patients feel no discomfort during the procedure itself.
Removing Decay
The decayed or damaged portion of the tooth is carefully removed and the area is cleaned -- preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible.
Placing the Composite
The color-matched resin is applied in layers, sculpted to match the natural shape of your tooth, and hardened with a curing light after each layer.
Polishing and Bite Check
The filling is polished to a smooth finish and your bite is checked to ensure everything feels natural and comfortable before you leave.
Aftercare Guidance
We'll let you know what to expect in the hours after your appointment -- including when mild sensitivity is normal and when to call us.
Every filling at Inspire Dental is placed by a licensed dentist -- not a dental assistant. We take the time to match your shade, check your bite, and ensure the result looks and feels completely natural before you leave the chair.
We accept Medicaid, CHIP, and most PPO plans for composite filling procedures. Benefits are verified before treatment. Visit our Patient Resources page for payment options and current offers. If your cavity has reached the tooth's inner pulp, we may recommend a root canal before filling -- we'll explain everything clearly before any decision is made.

Karen L.
I had an old silver filling that had been bothering me for years. They replaced it with a tooth-colored composite at the Mesquite location and I honestly can't tell where the filling is anymore -- it looks completely natural. The whole appointment took less than an hour and I felt no pain at all. Very impressed.
Ricardo P.
Brought my son in for a cavity and was worried about cost since we're on Medicaid. The front desk confirmed coverage right away and we were seen the same day. The dentist was great with my son -- explained what he was doing the whole time, used numbing gel before the shot, and my son said it didn't hurt at all. The filling looks perfect.

Tenia miedo de que el relleno se viera, pero el dentista en Balch Springs hizo un trabajo increible. El color es exactamente igual a mis dientes naturales. Me atendieron rapido, el personal fue muy amable y el precio fue justo. Me senti muy bien atendida desde el momento que llegue.
