Tooth-colored (composite) fillings are made out of a strong resin and are virtually undetectable. Traditional amalgam fillings have a tendency to weaken the tooth because so much of the original tooth must be removed. Tooth-colored fillings require less removal of the tooth and can be expected to last much longer than amalgam fillings.
During your visit, our staff will prepare the damaged tooth by removing the present filling or decay and binding the new composite to the surface of the tooth. The resin will then be hardened by a special light focused on the area. Tooth-colored fillings are revolutionary, making the results of one of the most common dental treatments more pleasing to the eye. Tooth-colored fillings at our office, make it easier for you to chew, smile, and talk.
Tooth-colored fillings also come in varying shades of white so they blend with the natural color of your teeth.
Another advantage to tooth-colored filling material is its ability to act as a dental bond. The tooth colored composite material is not only more aesthetically pleasing, but it also requires less removal of the original tooth.
