Natural-looking fillings that repair cavities, and can replace old metal ones.
Repairing New Cavities, Replacing the Old Ones
A Filling That Disappears
Tooth-colored fillings repair cavities with a material shaded to match your tooth, so the repair blends right in. It is the only kind of filling Dr. Baird places, no dark metal showing when you laugh or talk.
Goodbye, Old Metal Fillings
If you have older metal fillings you would rather not see, we can replace them with tooth-colored ones for a more natural look. Dr. Baird will let you know the right timing for your teeth.
Comfortable and Often Same-Day
You can usually have a cavity filled at the same visit it is found, so you are not making an extra trip. We numb the tooth gently first, and laughing gas is available if you want it.
