Maintain a Healthy Smile with Bonham Sunshine Dental
Good oral health starts with daily care—brushing, flossing, a healthy diet, and regular dental visits. At Bonham Sunshine Dental and Implant Center, we recommend checkups every six months to catch issues early.
Life’s challenges can make dental care easy to overlook, leading to problems like cavities. If decay is detected, prompt treatment is essential to protect your smile.
Catching dental decay early stops further tooth damage. Your dentist will remove the decay and restore the tooth with a filling, one of the most common and easiest dental treatments. Appointments are quick, recovery is simple, and most patients return to work the same day.
At Bonham Sunshine Dental and Implant Center, we use composite (tooth-colored) fillings—a safe, durable, and natural-looking option. Composite bonds directly to the tooth, offering strength, resilience, and long-lasting results.
Amalgam (silver fillings), once widely used, contains mercury and multiple metals. While durable, concerns about its safety and appearance have led us to discontinue its use.

For decades, amalgam (silver) fillings were popular for their strength, durability, and low cost. However, they come with major drawbacks:
Contain toxic metals, including mercury
Dark, unattractive appearance and potential staining
Require removing more healthy tooth structure
Can weaken teeth and increase fracture risk over time
Conduct heat and cold, causing tooth sensitivity
At Bonham Sunshine Dental and Implant Center in Bonham, Texas, we exclusively use composite (tooth-colored) fillings because they are:
Natural-looking – blends seamlessly with surrounding teeth
Safe and mercury-free
Conservative – preserves more of your natural tooth
Durable and long-lasting
Versatile – perfect for both front and back teeth
Composite fillings are bonded to your tooth for added strength and can be polished to a natural, glossy finish. For the best results, complete any teeth whitening before placement, as composite doesn’t whiten.
Dr. Kajuri Ramchand is experienced in creating strong, beautiful, and natural-looking restorations. Call us today to schedule your appointment and enjoy a healthier, brighter smile!
