So, fillings are required whenever a person comes in with a cavity or tooth decay. When a patient has tooth decay, it is something that needs to be treated before the cavity gets bigger and potentially causes pain in the tooth. Filling, or a dental filling, is a way of essentially eliminating the cavity and restoring the tooth with a nice, aesthetic tooth-colored filling material to regain function and also maintain a nice, bright smile.
Find an Effective Solution for Your Tooth Repair Needs
Spotting cavities in their early stages will ensure your smile stays healthy. If we spot a cavity during an exam, we can move forward right away with treatment. That’s the benefit of seeing us regularly for checkups. Our practice prioritizes preventive care, staying ahead of potential oral health issues early on.
Our dentists use composite fillings, but we tailor our approach to each patient’s needs. We’ll utilize the most suitable material for optimal results. However, there are unique benefits to composite material:
- Natural Appearance – Composite fillings match the color of your natural teeth, providing a seamless appearance.
- Minimal Tooth Removal – The bonding process used for composite fillings allows you to maintain more of your tooth structure.
- Reduced Sensitivity – Composite materials contract against temperature changes, reducing potential cracks that can increase sensitivity.
- No Mercury– Unlike traditional amalgam (metal) fillings, composites are mercury-free. This relieves any concerns about potential long-term health risks.
