Tooth Colored Fillings

A filling is used to repair a tooth that is affected by decay.

In just one appointment, the decayed portion of the tooth will be removed, cleaned, and filled. Composite or tooth-colored fillings can be closely matched to the color of existing teeth. There are further options aesthetically suited for use in the front teeth or the more visible areas of the teeth.

As with most dental restorations, composite fillings are not permanent and may someday need replacement. However, they often last for many years and provide you with a fully restored smile.

Procedure

At the conclusion of your treatment, you will be given care instructions and advice from your doctor. It is normal to feel sensitivity to your filling when the treatment is first performed, but your doctor’s instructions will let you know how to manage any short-term sensitivity and how to maintain restored oral health. Please call our office to schedule your next dental appointment and receive the restorative treatment you need for a healthy, pain-free smile.
