Cosmetic Fillings in Roseville, MN
Strong Protection with a Natural Look
Cavities are common, but visible repairs are not. At Bates Dental Care, we offer tooth-colored fillings made of durable composite resin that’s carefully matched to your natural tooth shade. They protect your teeth from further damage while blending in seamlessly.
Whether you need to treat a new cavity or replace old metal fillings, our cosmetic filling options are quick, comfortable, and made to last. The result? A healthier smile that still looks like your own.
What to Expect with Tooth-Colored Fillings
Dental Exam and Cavity Detection
We’ll check for cavities using visual exams and digital x-rays, so we can catch small issues before they become bigger problems.

Color Matching and Treatment Planning
Once a filling is needed, we match the resin to your natural tooth shade and explain the procedure so you know what to expect.

Gentle Decay Removal
Using gentle, minimally invasive techniques, we remove only the decayed portion of the tooth—preserving as much healthy structure as possible.
Composite Placement and Sculpting
The resin is placed in layers, shaped to fit your bite, and contoured for a smooth, natural look.

What You’ll Experience at Our Office
Aesthetic-First Approach
We take the time to color-match and shape your filling so it blends in with your surrounding teeth.
Minimally Invasive Techniques
Our filling process is designed to preserve as much healthy tooth structure as possible for long-term strength and function.
Comfortable and Quick Appointments
Most fillings take less than an hour. You’ll be in and out with minimal discomfort and clear post-care instructions.
When Is a Filling Needed?
You may need a filling if you have a cavity, sensitivity, or visible damage to your tooth. Sometimes, even small areas of decay can be hard to spot without an exam or X-rays—so don’t wait until it hurts to get checked.
We also replace old or failing silver (amalgam) fillings with tooth-colored options that look better and support long-term tooth strength. Early detection and conservative treatment go a long way in protecting your smile.
Caring for Your Filling
Cosmetic fillings don’t require any special care. Just brush, floss, and keep up with regular cleanings like usual. We’ll check your fillings at each visit to make sure they’re holding up well and make any adjustments if needed.
Avoid chewing hard objects like ice or pens, and let us know if you grind your teeth—we may recommend a nightguard to protect your dental work.
