If you’ve had fillings placed in the past, you may be under the impression that all types of tooth fillings are the same. However, the old silver fillings you might be used to aren’t used as widely as they once were. Today, our dental practice and many others use composite resin fillings to repair cavities and damaged teeth. Composite tooth fillings offer several advantages over traditional amalgam fillings:
You can relax in a comfortable massaging chair while we work. You can also listen to calming music or white noise. If you like dogs, you’ll love getting a greeting from our comfort dog, April.

Very welcoming and such a neat office. Not to mention the love and support from the dog at the office, April. Such a sweet dog! Aside from that, everyone there is very informal and talks you through the right procedures you will need to follow to ensure healthy teeth 🙂 very professional and I would recommend to anyone looking into getting their teeth checked, etc 🙂
Super impressed with the entire experience as a new patient. From the front desk staff to the assistants to the hygienist and doctor, everyone was so kind and welcoming. The exam was incredibly thorough, and having their therapy dog (Dr. April) on my lap the whole time definitely calmed my nerves. Prices were very transparent, and they were very helpful with navigating through my insurance. Office is clean and pretty and not at all impersonal or uptight like many of the corporate-owned facilities can be. Happy to have found this office/team!
I had the best experience at Greenwood today! The staff was so welcoming & friendly, I felt so comfortable from the moment i walked into the office. April is the sweetest pup, so affectionate & such a valuable resource to make you feel at ease. Absolutely would recommend to anyone who is in the market for a dentist.
Dr. Kurziak is amazing! She did a few fillings on me and made sure it was a painless and easy process. After she finished she even took the time to give me tips on how to better avoid cavities so I will need less fillings in the future. Thank you Dr K and the Greenwood Dental Care staff for giving the best quality care for your patients!!!
Staff is personable and sensitive to my dental needs. Service is quick and thorough. The atmosphere is calming with intriguing decor. Location is very conveniently accessible. I will be bringing my family for their needs to Greenwood, as well. Best dental visit I have ever had within this group.
I’ve been going to this dental practice for over 30 years – it’s changed hands a few times and some of the dentists have come and gone but it’s the best it’s ever been! Dr Kurziak and dental hygienist Dawn and staff are THE BEST! They not only care about your teeth, but they care about you as a person! If you’re lucky you can schedule an appointment for one of the days when Dr April the canine is in the office ❤️ The office is beautiful and conveniently located. They have appointments available to fit your schedule! 😁😁😁
I can’t say enough how thankful I am for Greenwood Dental and all that they have done for the health of my mouth. Prior to coming to Dr. Kurziak and her incredible team, I was so anxious about walking into a dentist office. They are amazing here and the care they have taken to make me at ease is so appreciated. It’s a pleasure to now say “I love going to the dentist”.
My experience with Greenwood Dental Care has been amazing! The staff are friendly and show that they really care about their patients. They are also always on time with their appointments and get you taken care of in a timely manner! I will for sure keep on coming back!
It is always a good experience at Greenwood Dental. Yesterday My dentist and her assistant sang to every song that played on the radio during my procedure! What fun!! Had another appt today and as always Dr. K has made a visit to her office a pleasurable experience! Thanks Greenwood Dental.
This place was recommended by my neighbor and I am so happy to have brought my kiddos here! Dr. Z and her assistant were so patient with my 2.5 year old and my 10 year old, both are anxious about dentist but both left with a very positive experience here due to the service and patience they provided. Highly recommended.
White fillings are made out of either composite resin, a blend of ceramic and plastic, or porcelain. We can match the color of these materials to your other teeth so they will look completely natural in your smile. Unlike amalgam (metal) fillings, white fillings don’t contain mercury. So they’re a good choice for patients who prefer to avoid mercury.
There is still much disagreement as to whether traditional amalgam (mercury) fillings pose any health risks. However, we have chosen to land on the conservative side of the debate and only offer metal-free composite fillings at our practice. Besides giving you peace of mind about your health, they also blend in beautifully with the rest of your smile. No one will even notice you have a composite filling.
The life of fillings will vary, depending on their location and your oral hygiene, among other factors. A composite filling typically lasts from five to 10 years. No filling is designed to last a lifetime. You can maximize the life span of any filling by brushing and flossing every day and visiting us at least twice a year for professional cleanings.
