Tooth-Colored Fillings – Dallas, GA

Treating Cavities With Material That Matches Your Smile

For a long time, amalgam fillings were the best solution for treating decay . And for some situations, they’re still a very good choice. But today, tooth-colored fillings are the standard for care! Tooth-colored fillings are more supportive of the tooth’s natural structure, making them a more conservative choice. They’re also more discreet. Instead of standing out the way amalgam fillings do, they blend in with the rest of your smile for a more natural result.

What are Tooth-Colored Fillings?

A tooth-colored filling mainly consists of composite resin, which can come in various shades that allow our team to match it with our patient’s natural tooth color. Furthermore, this solution doesn’t require altering much of the existing enamel, as we can directly bond the material to the tooth for a lasting effect. This means you’ll be able to keep more of your natural tooth structure while also improving its longevity.

The Process of Getting a Tooth-Colored Filling

Due to state-of-the-art dental technology and techniques, our team can complete the entire tooth-colored filling process in as little as a single visit! Of course, we want you to remain as comfortable as possible throughout your appointment. That’s why we’ll always begin the procedure by numbing the area around the tooth with a local anesthetic so that you can be pain-free. Afterward, we’ll start removing the decayed tissue from your affected tooth before cleaning it and choosing the proper shade of composite resin to fill your tooth with. Once we’ve effectively molded the material so it matches the right shape and size to match your tooth, we’ll polish the results and send you on your way to enjoy your new and improved smile.

The Benefits of Tooth-Colored Fillings

Tooth-colored fillings make for a popular restorative option for various reasons, including:

• Natural Appearance : While amalgam fillings are functional, tooth-colored fillings blend so seamlessly that others won’t even notice you’ve had work done.
• Quick & Pain-Free Service : Not only can this process be finished in a single visit, but we sometimes won’t even need to use a numbing agent to keep you comfortable!
• Conservative : Our team can help keep more of your natural tooth structure with tooth-colored fillings.
