If we find out a cavity has set up shop in your little one’s mouth, it’s not the end of the world. We can give decay the boot and restore their smile with a tooth-colored filling. The composite resin material is durable, strong and, most importantly, undetectable. It will blend right in with the rest of their pearly whites. We make sure the experience isn’t scary and we use modern techniques and technology, so the procedure is quick and painless.
Benefits of Tooth-Colored Fillings
The fillings match the look and color of the teeth, so no one will notice them.
The composite resin is safe, biocompatible and free of mercury and metal.
The filling is bonded directly to the tooth, restoring most of its strength.
Seamlessly Restoring Smiles
When a patient comes in for a tooth-colored filling, we show them the instruments we’ll be using and let them get used to all of the sights and sounds, which goes a long way in alleviating fear and anxiety. Once they’re comfortable, we numb the area and remove all of the tooth decay. The space that’s left behind is cleaned and primed before we fill it with composite resin material. We use our magic wand, technically known as a curing light, to harden the filling and then we make adjustments for a perfect fit. Finally, we shape and polish it so that it looks and feels natural and your child’s smile is as good as new.
