Composite Dental Fillings: Modern Tooth Restoration

Restore Your Smile with Durable and Natural-Looking Fillings

At Today’s Dentistry, we offer composite dental fillings, a modern solution for repairing cavities, chips, or worn teeth. Made from a blend of plastic and glass-like particles, these fillings are designed to match the natural color of your teeth, giving you a seamless and healthy-looking smile.

What Are Composite Fillings?

Composite fillings are tooth-colored materials used to restore teeth affected by decay or damage. Unlike traditional metal fillings, composites bond directly to the tooth, offering both strength and a natural appearance. They can be used on front and back teeth, making them versatile for functional and cosmetic dental restoration.

Benefits of Composite Fillings

  • Natural Appearance: Blends perfectly with the color of your teeth, keeping your smile looking natural
  • Strong and Durable: Provides long-lasting protection for cavities, chips, and cracks
  • Less Tooth Removal: Requires minimal removal of healthy tooth structure
  • Versatile: Can repair cavities, chips, and even improve cosmetic appearance
  • Comfortable: Helps reduce sensitivity and feels like a natural part of your tooth

The Procedure: What to Expect

  1. Tooth Preparation: Local anesthesia is applied, and any decay or damage is removed to create a clean base.
  2. Applying the Composite: The dentist layers the composite material and uses a special light to harden each layer.
  3. Shaping and Polishing: The filling is contoured to fit your bite and polished to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.

Caring for Your Composite Fillings

  • Brush twice daily and floss gently around the filled tooth
  • Avoid very hard or sticky foods immediately after treatment
  • Use a fluoride mouthwash to help protect your tooth and filling
  • Regular dental check-ups ensure your filling stays strong and functional
Composite fillings offer a natural, durable, and aesthetically pleasing solution for restoring your smile. With proper care, they can keep your teeth healthy and your smile looking great for years to come.

Josh Westerberg was born and raised in Caldwell and Nampa, Idaho, and has spent nearly his entire life serving patients throughout the Treasure Valley. His passion for denture care began at just 15 years old while working at his grandfather’s denture clinic, Public Denture, where he quickly developed a love for helping people restore their smiles and confidence.

After graduating from Vallivue High School in 2003, Josh attended Boise State University, earning his degree in Business Management in 2008 — all while continuing to work in the family business. Following graduation, he continued his education in Denturitry, completed his internship, and became a licensed Denturist in 2010 after successfully passing the Idaho State Board Exam.

In 2017, Josh purchased the family business and rebranded it as New Smile. Through years of dedication, sacrifice, and countless hours of hard work, he fulfilled a lifelong dream by opening  The Denture Company in Nampa — creating a unique office where patients could receive extractions, dentures, implants, and specialty care all under one roof with multiple specialists working together to provide comprehensive treatment. The success of the practice later led to the opening of a second location in Boise.

Over the course of his career, Josh has personally handcrafted more than 20,000 dentures. He takes tremendous pride in his work and genuinely loves what he does. For Josh, dentistry is more than a profession — it’s an opportunity to change lives, restore confidence, and build lasting relationships with patients who often become like family.

Josh believes every patient deserves compassion, honesty, and exceptional care. His mission has always been to create an environment where patients feel comfortable, respected, and truly cared for throughout every step of their smile journey.

Outside of work, Josh enjoys spending time with his wife — whom he married in 2003 — and their four amazing children. When he’s not in the office, you’ll likely find him working around the family’s small farm, hunting, fishing, or enjoying the outdoors with his family.
