Tooth-Colored Restorations in Doral & South Miami, FL

A Natural-Looking Alternative to Silver Fillings

For many years, dental fillings were made of silver amalgam, which restored teeth effectively but left noticeable dark spots in the smile. Today, patients have a more aesthetic option: tooth-colored restorations. At Gemini Dental, we provide composite fillings and bonding at both our Doral and South Miami locations, offering restorations that blend seamlessly with natural teeth.

What Are Tooth-Colored Restorations?

Tooth-colored restorations are made from composite resin, a durable material that can be matched to the exact shade of your teeth. They are used to repair cavities, replace old metal fillings, and restore minor chips or cracks. Because the material bonds directly to the tooth, composite restorations require less removal of natural tooth structure compared to silver fillings.

In addition to fillings, bonding with composite resin can also improve the appearance of discolored or misshapen teeth. This makes composite a versatile option for both functional and cosmetic improvements.

Why Choose Gemini Dental in Doral or South Miami?

Our dentists, Dr. Luis Velis and Dr. Jorge Velis, have more than 25 years of experience providing high-quality restorative care. At Gemini Dental, we use advanced materials and precise techniques to ensure restorations that are both strong and beautiful.

With offices in both Doral and South Miami, patients have convenient access to treatment, and we accept most PPO insurance plans. For patients without insurance, we also provide affordable payment options. Our family-owned practice is dedicated to ensuring every restoration looks natural and feels comfortable.

Benefits of Tooth-Colored Restorations

Composite fillings offer several advantages over silver amalgam. They are nearly invisible once placed, blending seamlessly with your natural teeth. Because they bond directly to the tooth, they provide added strength and stability. Composite restorations are also free of mercury, which is important to many patients concerned about health and safety.

For patients looking to update their smiles, replacing old silver fillings with tooth-colored restorations can create a more uniform, natural appearance. Many patients leave our office feeling more confident in their smiles after making this change.
