Seamless Tooth-Colored Match to Your Smile
We know you’re busy juggling work, family activities, and everything else Montana life throws your way. The last thing you need is a dental filling that draws attention every time you smile. That’s exactly why composite fillings have become the gold standard for Montana families who value both function and appearance. Composite resin material is carefully shade-matched to your existing tooth color, making repairs virtually undetectable.
Unlike traditional amalgam fillings, tooth-colored fillings restore your tooth’s strength while maintaining the natural beauty of your smile. You won’t have to think twice about smiling wide at your child’s soccer game or laughing during a work meeting. The process is straightforward and typically completed in a single visit. We remove the decayed portion of your tooth, apply the composite material in layers, and sculpt it to match your tooth’s natural contours.
Composite Bonding for Durable Results
Dr. Shumway acquired an established dental practice in Billings with a reputation for quality care, and he’s continued that tradition of excellence. As a member of the Academy of General Dentistry, he stays current with the latest advancements in restorative dentistry through ongoing continuing education. His dedication to delivering the best care possible means using proven composite bonding techniques that maximize the longevity of your fillings.
This bonding process requires precision and attention to detail, skills Dr. Shumway has refined through years of experience and training. From his time studying Mandarin in Taiwan to earning his dental degree at the University of Detroit Mercy School of Dentistry, Dr. Shumway brings a global perspective and commitment to excellence to every patient interaction. You can trust that your composite fillings are placed with the same care and precision he’d want for his own family.
Smile Confidently with No Visible Metal
Imagine looking in the mirror and seeing only healthy, natural-looking teeth; no distracting silver spots interrupting your smile. That’s the transformation tooth-colored fillings provide. The aesthetic improvement alone gives many patients a noticeable boost in confidence, especially if they’ve been self-conscious about their metal fillings for years. Beyond appearance, composite fillings offer practical advantages for active Montana families.
The smooth surface of composite material resists staining better than older filling materials, and because it bonds to your tooth, it helps prevent future cracks and damage. Whether you’re biting into a Montana-grown apple or enjoying winter trail mix on a ski trip, your restored teeth function just like natural teeth. If you also need dental crowns for more extensive restoration work, composite fillings can be part of a comprehensive treatment plan.
