Composite Fillings in St. George Utah

At Riverside Dental Care, we use tooth-colored composite fillings rather than traditional silver amalgam fillings. Composite bonds directly to the tooth and can be carefully matched to the surrounding enamel, helping us restore the tooth without leaving an obvious metal filling behind.

What Are Composite Fillings?

Composite fillings are tooth-colored restorations used to repair teeth affected by decay, chips, wear, or small fractures.

After the damaged or decayed portion of the tooth is removed, a composite resin is bonded to the remaining tooth structure, shaped to restore the tooth's natural form, and hardened before being polished smooth.
Because the material can be matched closely to your natural tooth color, composite fillings are much less noticeable than traditional silver fillings.

At Riverside Dental Care, composite is the material we use for dental fillings.

David R. Stevens, DDS

David R. Stevens grew up in Holden, Utah. He graduated from BYU and Attended Dental School at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia. Following dental school, Dr. Stevens received further training at the Veterans Medical Center in Salt Lake City.

Dr Stevens has embraced living in St George by mountain biking ALL YEAR LONG! He has run just about every race you can run in southern Utah including the St George Marathon the St George Iron Man, but his favorite is the True Grit Mountain Bike Race every spring.

Dr Stevens’ staff say that he is a true dental nerd. He loves new dental technology, he travels all over the country to gain new dental education and is currently working on a new accreditation with the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. All of this learning and constant growth means he will take care of his patients with amazing skills and care.

Dr. Stevens is married to Katie Stevens and has five awesome children that are growing up too fast.

Wade F. Stevens, DDS

Wade F Stevens got tired of being “the other Dr. Stevens” so he has been going by Dr. Wade since shortly after joining the Riverside Dental team to practice with his brother. He even grew a beard so people could tell them apart.

He grew up in Holden, Utah. He graduated from Dixie College way before it was a University, then attended Virginia Commonwealth University for dental school. After dental school, he did a one-year residency at the Veterans Hospital in Salt Lake City. During his residency, he attended a continuing education course with Dr. Ott and has been hooked ever since. So, if he is not at the office he is probably in Scottsdale learning more about dentistry.

He and his wife, Sarah do not have a lot of time for hobbies as they are constantly running around 5 kids from 4-13 years old. When he does want to relax he enjoys woodworking, CrossFit, (though he won’t talk to you about it unless you bring it up), and escaping back to Holden to pretend he is a farmer.

If you have met Dr. Wade you know he absolutely loves being a dentist but will tell you that what makes his office awesome is the most amazing staff in the country.
