Tooth Fillings

Quality restorations for happy smiles

Tooth colored fillings, also called white fillings, are fillings that restore and mimic the natural appearance of tooth structure.
In addition to restoring teeth that have fractured or decayed, they may also be used cosmetically to change the size, color and shape of teeth

We offer fillings for patients who need to have a cavity treated.

Tooth colored fillings, also called white fillings, are fillings that restore and mimic the natural appearance of tooth structure. In addition to restoring teeth that have fractured or decayed, they may also be used cosmetically to change the size, color and shape of teeth.
They address cavities with a material that looks like your natural teeth, unlike the metallic amalgam fillings that were once the standard in dentistry. It’s inevitable for most adults: At some point in your life, you will likely have a cavity that needs a filling.
Primary, or baby teeth, are generally softer and more porous than adult (permanent) teeth. This can make them more susceptible to decay and dental cavities.

If you need a tooth filled, feel free to contact us for more information. We prefer to keep your teeth intact and restore only the unhealthy or unstable parts of your teeth.We look forward to seeing you!

Advantages

Composite fillings are made of a mixture of tiny particles in a resin medium. Because they match the color of your tooth, they blend right in with your natural teeth.

If you talk or laugh—even with your mouth wide open—no one will be able to tell you have any fillings because they blend in so seamlessly.

They are also a treatment option to help restore the function and appearance of a tooth that is damaged or decayed.

A major benefit of fillings vs silver amalgam is that much less natural tooth is removed during placement of a tooth filling; so it is a much more conservative treatment option

In addition, if you have a tooth that is chipped or broken, fillings can also be used to fix it.

How to care for your fillings

There is no special care required for your filling.

Just continue to follow good oral hygiene practices, including brushing twice a day and flossing once a day.

Make sure to see your dentist twice a year for regular examinations and cleanings because you can still get cavities around teeth with fillings.

Very rarely patients experience tooth sensitivity after the filling is placed. This is perfectly normal and will almost always resolve itself within a short period of time.

We will discuss your personalized treatment plan with you in detail and answer all of your questions.

Do you need fillings?

If you are suffering from general tooth pain or haven’t had cleaning in the last 6 months, be sure to schedule your initial exam and consultation so that we can assess the condition of your mouth.
