Tooth-Colored Fillings | Aurora, CO
Fillings are the most common restoration for teeth damaged by decay or injury, and advances in technology have revolutionized the materials available to fix your smile. The silver and amalgam mercury that was used in the past led to a dark and discolored tooth that stood out from the rest of your smile. Dental fillings expanded and contracted with temperature changes, allowing bacteria to enter and cause decay, leading to weakening of the tooth and possible fractures.
Today, Dr. Wolfe uses only the latest technology to create a metal-free filling that is both healthy and aesthetically pleasing.
Tooth-Colored Dental Fillings
Tooth-colored composite fillings are a safer, stronger and more enduring restoration that bonds directly to your tooth and allows more of the healthy structure to remain. We also customize the filling’s color so that it blends in even more seamlessly with the surrounding teeth.
What Is the Process Like?
Generally, tooth-colored fillings only take a single visit to the office, during which the tooth will be prepared and restored. Dr. Wolfe will first apply an adhesive before adding several thin layers of the tooth-colored composite. Once the filling is applied, it is then chemically hardened, or cured, for less than a minute with a special light.

Megan LitvakThis was my first visit to Summit Smiles and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. I’ve never had my teeth cleaned so well. I brought my 4 year old daughter and she had a great experience also! We will be back!
Michelle CarrelGreat and friendly staff! Very knowledgeable! They made me feel at home. Dr. Wolfe, was great! His Assistant and the hygienist were very welcoming and explained every process to me. The front desk staff extremely helpful and kind.
Nicolete ThompsonI have been impressed with this practice since the moment I first got over my dental apprehensions and called. Jennifer was warm and personable and did not give me a lecture when I told her how long it had been since I last saw the dentist. I had my first initial visit today and Jennifer was just as warm and personable in person with a warm greeting and providing updates as to what was going on and when I would be seen. I was taken to the exam room promptly at 9 AM for a 9 AM appointment and by fate was matched up with Kaity as my hygienist. Kaity did an excellent job in obtaining sometimes difficult to obtain X-rays and I even found out we had some things in common. The doctor came in and went over the X-rays and we derived a treatment plan going forward. There were recommendations but no pressure and when they found out my insurance would not cover some producers immediately they volunteered on their own the insurance allowed price as what they would accept on the spot. I felt in such great care that I went ahead and booked my two deep cleanings and eventually I’ll even get my wisdom teeth pulled here. Finally, they were completely up front with charges. I had the pleasure to speak to Tonya who provided me with a detailed printout of the charges and a chance to immediately schedule all or a portion of the work. So, if you made it this far, this is an outstanding practice from the top to the bottom and after my initial visit I would highly recommend them.
