Protect Your Teeth with Dental Fillings in Bonita Springs
It’s very easy to feel self-conscious when your smile isn’t living up to your expectations. It may be a severely decayed tooth or just a simple little chip, but it doesn’t matter – you feel like the whole world is noticing that one little imperfection.
At Bonita Grande Dental, our goal is to provide services that not only treat and correct dental problems, but also improve the beauty of your smile. We offer tooth-colored composite restorations, an example of a procedure that does both.
We’ve seen some remarkable advances in dentistry that have resulted in improved materials that weren’t available just a few years ago. Dr. Gostigian invests many hours in keeping current with the latest advances in dentistry to bring our patients the technologies and treatments that provide the very best that dentistry has to offer.
Durable Tooth-Colored Fillings
One of the most important services we provide is dental fillings. They are an essential treatment that removes decay and strengthens your teeth. Amalgam fillings are very noticeable and can mar the appearance of your smile. Tooth-colored fillings offer a solution that protects your teeth and provides a cosmetically pleasing result.
Our tooth-colored fillings are beautiful, durable, and resilient. From an esthetic perspective, the benefit is this material can be shaded to match the exact color of your own teeth. Tooth-colored composites blend so well with natural teeth that we can use them for a variety of restorative treatments.
We also prefer tooth-colored fillings because the process we use to place them allows us to remove a conservative amount of tooth structure to restore your oral health. It’s always our preference to preserve as much natural tooth structure as possible to keep your smile whole and healthy for many years.
The Dental Bonding Procedure
Dental bonding is an affordable, conservative procedure where tooth-colored composite material is used to:
- Restore chipped or cracked teeth
- Cover teeth that are severely stained or discolored
- Fill uneven gaps and spacing between teeth
- Alter the shape of poorly proportioned teeth
There is little or no preparation required for bonding. Once the composite is applied to your teeth, Dr. Gostigian will expertly shape and polish the tooth so that it blends perfectly with your natural tooth enamel. Dental bonding is so efficient that we can often fix several minor problems during a single visit.

Used properly, none of these pose a danger to your health. Silver (amalgam) fillings have been used effectively for many years, but there’s been a lot of discussion recently the about mercury contained in silver fillings. Any release of mercury, however, is significantly less than what you’re exposed to every day in food, air, and water. But we do have other choices including porcelain, gold, and
