At Shoreline Dental Studio, our doctors use porcelain veneers and porcelain fillings to restore and enhance smiles with precision and care. These cosmetic restorations protect your teeth while blending seamlessly with your natural enamel – offering both strength and beauty.
Cavities and small chips or fractures can compromise both the health and look of your teeth. In the past, metal fillings caused visible discoloration and added pressure to the surrounding tooth. Today, our porcelain fillings are sculpted to fit naturally – often placed in thinner layers to preserve more of your enamel.
If decay or a small crack forms near the front of the tooth, we may recommend porcelain veneers or composite bonding to restore the tooth’s strength and appearance. After gently removing the damaged material, our doctors place a custom-colored material that blends in flawlessly. The result? A stronger tooth and a more confident smile.
Shoreline’s cosmetic fillings use a mix of liquid resin and finely ground glass, hardened under blue light and polished to a natural shine – making them virtually invisible. These restorations are quick, effective, and often completed in a single visit.

“Best dental experience ever! Everyone is so sweet, caring and incredibly knowledgeable and confident. I was super nervous about going to dentist after not having gone for awhile but as soon as stepped into the studio I felt like I was in good, loving hands and had nothing to worry about! Everyone is so great about creating a calm and friendly experience:) Dr. Livingston is the best!”

“It’s a friendly, welcoming and stress free environment. From the candle in the reception area to the windows in the treatment rooms looking out on a garden, it feels very non-dentist like, which is actually a good thing. They addressed the issue I had come in for and didn’t try to upsell me on other unnecessary treatments. I actually found a dentist’s office that I like!”

Composite fillings repair decayed or damaged teeth using a tooth-colored resin that blends in naturally. This material protects the tooth while restoring its appearance and function.
Composite fillings harden instantly under a blue light, so you can eat right after the appointment. Waiting an hour or two may help you avoid biting your cheek or tongue if you’re still numb.
Porcelain and composite fillings can last 7–10 years or more with proper care – especially if the filling is small and supported by healthy brushing and checkups.
This restoration material combines liquid resin and powdered glass, adjusted to match your natural tooth color for a smooth, seamless finish.
Yes. Composite fillings are considered extremely safe and are approved by the American Dental Association. Leaving tooth decay untreated poses a far greater risk to your oral health.
