What Are Tooth-Colored
Fillings?
You have so many choices when it comes to restoring damaged
or decayed teeth, even down to the type of dental filling material to use. Tooth-colored
fillings, also called white fillings, are dental fillings that restore and
mimic the natural appearance of your tooth structure. In addition to restoring
teeth that have fractured or decayed, tooth colored fillings may also be used
cosmetically to change the size, color and shape of teeth. This quality is
especially useful in closing gaps and repairing chipped teeth, making them
appear more even or straight.
At Smile By Design, we use tooth-colored fillings to treat
your cavities. Made from safe composite and porcelain materials, these fillings
look like a natural part of your tooth. They bond well to your enamel, creating
strength and durability for years to come. We can replace your work out or
metal fillings with these biocompatible dental fillings.
Are There Any Benefits?
You bet there are! They’re very beneficial, but don’t just
take our word for it:
- They closely match natural tooth color and appearance.
- They bond to tooth structures chemically and do not require the placement of slots, grooves or pins in healthy tooth structure to mechanically retain them.
- The bonding of white fillings to the tooth restore 85%-95% of the original strength of the tooth.
- They completely harden in seconds instead of days required by alternate materials.
- Tooth sensitivity, if any, due to composite resin use is minimal and brief.
- They may be used on front and back teeth without compromising esthetics.
- If damaged, they can be repaired.
