When most people think of dental care, they think of fillings. They’re one of the most common treatments in dentistry. But at Bite Club Dental, we take it a step further with composite restorations: natural-looking, strong, and precisely matched to your unique tooth structure. Whether you’re dealing with a cavity or replacing an old metal filling, our tooth-colored fillings in Bucktown offer a modern, conservative solution that blends seamlessly with your smile.
Composite restoration is a technique that repairs decayed or damaged teeth using a durable, tooth colored resin. It’s more than just a basic filling, it’s a cosmetic and functional solution that restores your tooth as closely as possible to its original shape and appearance.
Unlike traditional silver (amalgam) fillings, composite fillings are made to bond directly to your tooth and match its natural shade. That means:
No visible metal
Less drilling
Stronger, more natural-looking results
Aesthetically pleasing: Blends with your natural teeth—no more gray spots when you smile.
Minimally invasive: Requires less removal of healthy tooth structure.
Durable and long-lasting: Holds up well under pressure for chewing and biting.
Mercury-free: Safe, biocompatible materials for peace of mind.
Ideal for front or back teeth: Effective wherever you need a filling.
At Bite Club Dental, we approach every restoration with precision and care. Our dentist, Dr. Nga Huynh, uses advanced magnification (microdentistry) to ensure your composite filling is as exact, efficient, and comfortable as possible.
We also take time to:
Thoroughly explain your options
Show you exactly where the problem is
Choose the best shade and shape to restore your tooth naturally
We believe great dentistry is in the details and composite restoration is no exception.
You may need a composite restoration if you’re experiencing:
A cavity or visible hole in the tooth
Sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweets
Cracks, chips, or worn enamel
Replacing old amalgam fillings with a more aesthetic alternative

A composite filling is a tooth-colored material used to repair decayed, chipped, or damaged teeth. It bonds directly to your tooth and blends in seamlessly with your natural enamel.
With proper care, composite fillings can last 7 to 10 years or more. Their longevity depends on the size of the filling, your oral hygiene habits, and regular dental checkups.
Composite fillings are more aesthetically pleasing and require less removal of healthy tooth structure than amalgam fillings. They're also free of mercury, making them a popular modern alternative.
The procedure is typically quick and comfortable. At Bite Club, our dentists use local anesthesia and gentle techniques to ensure your visit is as painless as possible.
The cost of a composite filling can vary based on the size and location of the cavity. On average, composite fillings in Chicago range from $150 to $400 per tooth. We’re happy to discuss insurance coverage and payment options with you.
