What Are Tooth-Colored Fillings?
Tooth-colored fillings are a restorative treatment that uses composite resin
to fill in the damaged areas of a weakened tooth. In the past, traditional
amalgam was the only way to fill a cavity; however, with advancements in
dentistry and a change in the types of materials used, patients can now
enjoy a safer, more natural solution that is mercury- and metal-free and
better for the environment.
Not to mention, tooth-colored fillings are matched to your natural tooth
color, allowing you to repair your weakened tooth without the additional
spotlight alerting everyone to your dental work.
How Are They Placed?
At Dental Center of Aspen Hill, our team can place your tooth-colored
filling without removing much of the natural structure. Naturally, when a
cavity in Aspen Hill occurs, the damaged areas must be removed and cleared
of any remaining debris. Our team will administer local anesthesia before
beginning this process so that you feel no pain whatsoever.
After the decay is removed, we’ll fill it with the color-matched
composite resin and use a special curing light to encourage the resin to
harden into place. After making any final adjustments and providing a final
polish, you will be able to enjoy a fully repaired smile that bears its own
natural strength and lasts for years to come.
What Are the Benefits of Tooth-Colored Fillings?
Nowadays, you’ll be hard-pressed to find anyone eager to have a silver
or gold filling put into place. Instead, the appeal of a restoration that
blends in makes tooth-colored fillings a far more popular option. Some of
the added benefits you can expect include:
-
A natural look and feel that blends in seamlessly with your nearby,
healthy teeth
-
Boosted confidence because no one will notice you’ve had dental work
-
Keeping more of your natural tooth structure, which gives your tooth
greater strength and durability
- A process that can be completed in one visit to our dental office
-
A strong seal that protects against reinfection and/or additional damage
-
Mercury-free restorations that ensure a safer solution for your oral
cavity
-
Decreased risk of discoloration (unlike traditional amalgam fillings)
