At Comprehensive Family Dentistry, we offer tooth-colored fillings as a natural-looking and durable option for treating cavities. These fillings, also known as composite fillings, are made of a mixture of plastic and fine glass particles that can be matched to the color of your teeth for a virtually invisible repair.
Benefits of Tooth-Colored Fillings
Natural-looking results
Can be used on both front and back teeth
Bond directly to the tooth, providing added strength
Safe and effective
Metal-free option for those with metal allergies or sensitivities
Procedure
The process of getting a tooth-colored filling begins with the removal of the decayed tooth material. The area is then thoroughly cleaned and prepared before the composite filling is placed and shaped to restore the tooth to its original form. The filling is then hardened with a special light, and any final adjustments are made to ensure a comfortable and proper bite.
Caring for Your Fillings
Proper oral hygiene is essential to maintaining the longevity of your tooth-colored fillings. This includes brushing twice a day, flossing daily and visiting our office for regular check-ups and cleanings.
If you have a cavity that needs to be filled, or if you're interested in replacing your metal fillings with tooth-colored ones, please don't hesitate to contact our office to schedule an appointment.
