White Fillings

At Zöe Dental, we aim to stay up to date with the latest technology and updated products to benefit you and your dental health. That being said, long gone are the days of silver amalgam fillings as many dentists have found a more appealing option cosmetically and in regards to your overall health.

Every dentist has his or her own reasoning for making the switch from amalgam to composite resin. We will explain just a few of the many benefits to why we chose composite material for our filling procedures.

1. Composite Resin Fillings Look Like Natural Teeth

Amalgam fillings were strong and sturdy, but they weren’t aesthetically pleasing. If you needed to get an amalgam filling, you were left with an unsightly silver piece of metal in your mouth.

Composite resin fillings are just as strong as amalgam fillings, but they look natural. It is more common now than ever to have fillings placed on front teeth as they no longer appear unnatural.

2. Composite Resin Fillings Do Not Damage the Teeth

Damage to the tooth with a cavity and even surrounding teeth is extremely common with amalgam fillings. Damage occurs because the filling material of an amalgam filling is made of metal. Over time as the metal is exposed to different temperatures, it will expand and contract which causes cracks to appear on the tooth and the surrounding teeth.

A cracked tooth can cause pain and be extremely susceptible to tooth decay. In an effort to protect patient’s future dental health and avoid damaging teeth, many dentists made the switch to composite resin fillings.

Composite resin fillings do not expand and contract. This means the tooth in need of a filling and surrounding teeth don’t experience any damage.

3. Fewer Restrictions with Composite Resin Fillings

Once an amalgam filling was placed you were often given a list of instructions with things you could or could not do. That list included foods you had to avoid for several days, how to floss and brush around the filling, and other restrictions. Dentists switched to composite fillings because there are practically no restrictions.

After a composite resin filling is placed, there are virtually no restrictions. Patients can eat whatever they want. They may need to wait until the Novocain wears off, but they don’t have to follow strict instructions like with amalgam fillings.

4. Other Reasons for Switching to Composite Resin Fillings

Some of the other reasons why we made the switch from amalgam fillings to composite resin fillings include:

Less staining – amalgam fillings often would leak which caused the tooth and nearby teeth to develop a black or brown color that couldn’t be removed

Less drilling – composite feelings can be placed without requiring your dentist to drill into the healthy portions of your teeth. This was something that had to be done with amalgam fillings.

Healthier – many people believe amalgam fillings can cause you to be exposed to high amounts of mercury which can result in numerous health problems. Composite resin fillings do not have this type of risk.

Overall, composite fillings are a great alternative to amalgam fillings. At Zöe Dental, we are proud to use this treatment method and have seen many patients extremely happy with their results.

These Patients Have a Whole New Perspective on the Dentist

“I was REALLY impressed with the quality of services and care at Zoe. Allowing a patient to choose what amenities (radio, massage devices, blankets, etc.) they wanted to indulge in was a first for me at any medical practice. Not to mention a gift bag and friendly consultation asking me what was important when I considered dentistry services. I’ve had great experiences with other dentists in the past but Zoe has surpassed them all!”

"Comments...Your entire female Staff are like "Charley's Angels." Pretty ladies with wonderful cheerful dispositions. A pleasure to come through the door and be greeted with beautiful smiles. As you know, my wife, Hope, practiced family dentistry for 40 years, but Dr. Perry is a Master. So are his chairside assistants, Amanda and Olivia, who wonderfully and professionally took great care of me. Plus, they put up with my "bs" chatter/stories. Great dental office, an all super Staff, clean and tidy facility, with up to date modern equipment, and always a complete pleasure during my appointments. I highly recommend Zoe Dental. See ya soon. Thanks..."

"Zöe Dental is a wonderful, well established dental practice. I trust them completely with my dental work, and I have been with them since they first opened. Simply, I cannot imagine being with any other dental group. Maria is an excellent hygienist, and I have upmost confidence in her work. It is always a pleasure to see Dr. Stamatiades is an excellent dentist as well as someone I consider a friend. Great job, Zöe Dental!"

Robin J Shope

Zoe dental is incredible. They have amazing staff and a wonderful atmosphere. They cater to their patients and strive to make sure that you feel stress free. Even more importantly, their Doctors are wonderful. I had my wisdom tooth pulled and I couldn’t have had a better experience. Will definitely recommend!

Leigh Ann Purvines

Wow! I have never had such a positive dental experience. The office atmosphere is open, friendly, upbeat, and professional. I felt comfortable and well informed of all procedures. Thank you, Zoe Dental, for changing the presidence of dental health from fear and anxiety to calm and serene.

Being here just for a few months can present problems when in need of a doctor or dentist. Friday I experienced severe tooth pain and realized it was something of an emergency. Zoe Dental graciously gave me an appointment the next afternoon, Saturday. Chelsea and Dr. Stamatiades saw me. As a Boeing 777 captain for a major airline I care about professionalism, customer service, safety, and technical competency. I can honestly say that both Chelsea and Dr. S. demonstrated the highest levels of all of these elements. The doctor took his time examining and explaining everything to me about the situation and we jointly decided on a treatment plan which I am pleased to say, a day later, was successful. I was in agonizing pain on Friday and going into Saturday. Today is Sunday and it's like nothing ever happened. My wife and I spend three to five months about an hour and a half west of Asheville but we will now be lifelong patients of Zoe Dental. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Garry Kravit

Best dental experience I have ever had!!! Dr. Hayes and the rest of the staff were so kind, honest, and incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. They were able to quickly address a long-standing issue I have had and gave me a completely doable plan of action for the future. I will recommend Zöe Dental to all of my friends! Thank you so much for the excellent experience!!!

Olivia B.

I cannot say enough about the amazing staff at Zoe Dental! I recently became a new patient with this dental office. The second I walked into the office, I felt like family. I have extreme dental anxiety. I explained this to the person who scheduled my appointment, on the phone, and she assured me, I was going to be well taken care of at my initial visit. She could not have been more calming! The front desk staff is like a welcoming committee, they hand you the Comfort Menu and immediately you just relax. Amy did my cleaning, what an amazing hygienist she is! She went above and beyond to lower my blood pressure :)! I felt like I was sitting in the First Class section of a plane going on vacation. IF you have dental anxiety, please schedule an appointment with this office, today! You will leave, like I did, actually looking forward, yes I said that, to your next visit.
At my next visit, Tyler was the assistant, and again, amazing amounts of compassion and caring were felt from start to finish with my procedure. I simply LOVE this office and would highly encourage anyone, who has put off going to the dentist, out of fear, to schedule a visit and meet the most amazing team of employees who truly love their jobs and their patients!

Kimberly K.

Zöe Dental is a dental heaven! I used to dread visiting the dentist, but I’m so happy found Zöe because I look forward to seeing them every six months! Their comfort menu is perfect if you experience any anxiety at the dentist or just want a little pick me up during your visit. Their staff members are extremely friendly and courteous; they really take the time to get to know their patients and connect with them. I highly recommend Zöe – they have made all the difference in my oral health and my overall perception of going to the dentist.

Emily Shea

Wish I would have switched dentists sooner. Everyone was very nice, accommodating, and professional. Very nice office with friendly staff. Very much appreciate the add ons such as the massage chair, essential oils and hand wax. So nice to find a place that is truly patient focused.

Katherine Allen

From the moment you walk through the front door, you are greeted and welcomed like they are so happy to see you! Everyone has such a caring disposition! I had neglected my oral care for a while and had multiple issues. The Dr and staff helped me prioritize my treatment plan based on what was best health wise, and most important to me. And even though my years of neglect presented some challenges, not once did I feel judgement being cast upon me. Just a sincere effort to educate and help me the best way possible within my means! Five-star service??? ABSOLUTELY! Sincerely, a "New Found Cousin!"

Kevin R.

I have been going to Zöe dental for the past 7 years. I have always been amazed by the service, the amenities and the welcoming presence of the place. Yesterday I came in to get my teeth cleaned. I had wanted to cancel due to a burgeoning migraine but soldiered on. I’m glad I did. My hygienist was kind, empathic and personable. She offered up healing peppermint oil and a neck pillow to enhance my already relaxing heated and back-massaging chair.It was like being at a spa while having a dental cleaning. I am amazed at how far dentistry and patient care has come when you come to Zöe dental. This is a great crew, a great space. I highly recommend them for all your dental needs even beyond a cleaning...and believe me I’ve had a few!

Loren S.

By far, the best medical practice, let alone dentistry office I have ever been to. I am so astounded by the care and quality provided by Zoe Dental. I have found my forever dentist! Thank you guys for everything you do to make everyone so comfortable AND well informed.

Savannah P.

In the past I always experienced anxiety when going to the dentist. My experience with the wonderful staff at Zöe has changed that in a big way! They are so professional and comprehensive, and additionally (and very significantly to me) very personable and proactive when it comes to addressing your concerns and comfort during treatment. Maria has been my hygienist for at least two years and thanks to her competence and lovely personality I actually look forward to our twice-yearly checkup “get-togethers”! Additionally, the front desk staff are warm and able to answer any scheduling or billing questions you might have. All the dentists are wonderful and engender confidence in my family members. Specifically, I see their head dentist, practice owner Dr S., as talented, as a visionary in his field and for his personal practice, and excellent at selecting like-minded staff. It’s all a win at Zöe Dentistry!
