Dr. Balling and his staff are wonderful. I was in an emergent situation with an abscess tooth and not able to get into my own dentist office. He and his staff were able to squeeze me in during their lunch time & able to help save my tooth. He was very patient & caring, took the time to explain everything to me. He took 3D images and x-rays of my tooth and deemed it savable!! (After being told there was no chance to save my took from an emergency dental association in Center City Philadelphia who wanted to extract my tooth) I am eternally grateful to Dr. Balling and his staff for their professional expertise and compassion for my situation. Thank you all at Stratford Dental Center. I found my new Dental practice and I love it! <3

Repair Dental Damage With a Beautiful Tooth Filling
We use tooth-colored fillings made from high-quality composite resin. These modern fillings are a significant improvement over traditional metal fillings, providing both esthetic and functional benefits. The composite resin is carefully matched to the color of your natural teeth, making the filling virtually invisible.
Composite fillings offer more than just esthetic benefits. They form a strong bond with your natural tooth, enhancing its overall strength. Unlike metal fillings, composite materials allow us to preserve more of your healthy tooth structure during the filling process, helping maintain your tooth’s natural integrity.
The process of getting a tooth-colored filling is straightforward and comfortable:
- Your dentist removes the decay from your tooth, preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible.
- The tooth is cleaned and made ready for the filling material.
- Composite resin is applied in layers and shaped to match your tooth’s natural contours.
- We will harden each layer of the composite with a special ultraviolet light.
- Finally, your dentist polishes the filling to ensure a smooth, natural feel and a beautiful appearance.
These versatile fillings work well for cavities in any part of your mouth, whether it’s a visible front tooth or a hard-working molar. Our experienced team is committed to providing you with the highest quality dental care, ensuring your filling procedure is comfortable and effective.

White tooth fillings are made of composite resin, a blend of ceramic and plastic. Unlike amalgam fillings, which are made of a blend of metals, they can be matched to the color of your other teeth so they aren’t noticeable in your smile. They also cause fewer allergy issues than amalgam.
All dental fillings are safe for most patients. However, some studies have raised concerns about the long-term health impact of mercury, which is used in amalgam fillings. Both the FDA and the American Dental Association say mercury in fillings is safe. However, mercury isn’t a concern at all with our composite fillings.
The life of fillings will vary, depending on their location and your oral hygiene, among other factors. A composite filling typically lasts from five to 10 years. No filling is designed to last a lifetime. You can maximize the life span of any filling by brushing and flossing every day and visiting us at least twice a year for professional cleanings.
