What Are Tooth-Colored Fillings?
Cavities are an all-too-common issue caused by bacteria wearing away your tooth enamel. In the past, dentists used amalgam fillings — a blend of metals like mercury and silver — to treat these cavities. However, we've since learned that these metal fillings don't bond well with your enamel, and the mercury they contain can pose risks to your health. At The Dental Touch Aesthetic Wellness Studio, Dr. Shireen Dhanani takes a more modern, health-conscious approach. She offers tooth-colored fillings made from composite resin to effectively fill cavities while maintaining the natural look of your teeth. At our Leesburg, FL practice, we use state-of-the-art resin and porcelain materials to provide you with a safer and more aesthetically pleasing solution. Reach out to our dental team today to achieve a healthier, more confident smile.
What Should I Expect from Tooth-Colored Fillings?
Getting a tooth-colored filling at The Dental Touch Aesthetic Wellness Studio is typically a quick process. The process begins with numbing the treatment area using a local anesthetic to ensure you feel no discomfort. Next, Dr. Dhanani will carefully remove the decayed portion of the enamel using a specialized dental drill and thoroughly clean and disinfect the area to prevent any future issues. The next step involves filling the cavity with a high-quality composite resin, which is carefully applied in layers. A special curing light is then used to harden the composite material, securing it in place. Dr. Dhanani will meticulously shape and polish the filling to ensure it blends seamlessly with your natural teeth. At the end of the procedure, Dr. Dhanani will check your bite to make sure the filling is perfectly aligned with your other teeth, ensuring both functionality and aesthetics. If you have dental anxieties or require additional relaxation, our team can discuss stronger sedation options to help keep you calm and comfortable throughout the procedure.
What Are the Benefits of Tooth-Colored Fillings?
Tooth-colored fillings offer a range of advantages that go beyond simply restoring a cavity.
