What Are Tooth-Colored Fillings?
Tooth-colored fillings are dental restorations made from composite resin; an adaptable material made with a special plastic-like medium mixed with fine glass, quartz, or silica particles. With the help of bonding agents and a UV curing light, composite fillings are designed to fill cavities and crevices in your teeth for highly durable repairs!
Unlike traditional silver amalgam fillings, these white fillings blend seamlessly with your smile, making them virtually invisible. These restorations are ideal for treating cavities and making small repairs to your teeth.
The Process of Getting a Tooth-Colored Filling
Getting a tooth-colored filling at our Sachse office is quick and comfortable. Here’s what you can expect:
- Evaluation: We’ll examine your tooth to confirm that a filling is the right solution.
- Preparation: The area is numbed for your comfort, and the decayed portion of the tooth is gently removed.
- Application: Composite resin is then applied in layers, and molded to match your tooth’s natural shape.
- Curing: A special light hardens the resin, making it strong and durable.
- Finishing Touches: Lastly, the filling is trimmed and polished to blend in with your natural tooth.
The entire process typically takes just one visit, leaving you with a healthier, more beautiful smile in about an hour!
The Benefits of Tooth-Colored Fillings
Tooth-colored fillings offer a variety of advantages over traditional metal fillings, including:
- A Natural Look: The resin material matches your tooth’s color, so no one will know you have a filling.
- High Durability: Composite fillings are strong and can withstand daily chewing forces.
- Tooth Preservation: These fillings bond directly to your tooth, allowing for minimal drilling and more natural enamel retention.
- Versatility: Composite fillings can repair cavities, chips, cracks, or even gaps between teeth with proper application.
- Safe and Non-Toxic: Unlike amalgam, composite resin is free of mercury and other metals, making it ideal for patients who may have allergies or sensitivity to those elements.
