What type of filling is available at the dental office?
Our dentists provide tooth-colored dental fillings to repair and restore damaged teeth. This type of filling is designed to restore your tooth’s shape, appearance, and strength, blending in with your natural teeth for a completely natural look. These fillings are made from durable and long-lasting composite resin material, making them an excellent option for those who prioritize both function and aesthetics.
Why should I choose tooth-colored fillings over traditional metal fillings for my smile?
Tooth-colored fillings provide several notable advantages over traditional metal fillings:
- Appearance. One of the main benefits of tooth-colored fillings is their natural appearance. Unlike metal fillings, which can be noticeable and cause a dark spot in your smile, tooth-colored fillings match the natural color of your tooth enamel, making them virtually invisible.
- Durability. Tooth-colored fillings are fabricated from a strong composite resin material that withstands everyday wear and tear, offering a long-lasting solution for damaged teeth.
- Tooth Preservation. Unlike metal fillings, which require the removal of healthy tooth structures, tooth-colored fillings are bonded directly to the tooth, preserving more of your natural tooth structure.
- Non-Toxic. Traditional metal fillings contain mercury and other harmful materials that can be toxic to our bodies. Tooth-colored fillings do not contain any toxic materials, making them a safer option for your overall health.
