What Are Tooth-Colored Fillings?
Tooth-colored fillings are pretty popular as a fix for damaged or decayed teeth. Unlike the older metallic types, these kinds use composite resin and glass or ceramic particles. The overall mixture then matches the shade of your natural smile, blending in and not drawing attention.
How Are Tooth-Colored Fillings Placed?
Our dentists will confirm whether a filling suits you after they’ve checked your tooth. If treatment will help, they’ll proceed with the placement process.
Placing a tooth-colored filling involves several key steps. We’ll first inject an anesthetic as needed to numb the treatment site, keeping you from feeling pain. Next, we’ll remove your tooth’s damaged or decayed portion with specialized instruments. Our team will then apply the filling material in layers and bond it using a curing light. (We shape and harden each layer before adding the next one to ensure a precise fit.) Once these layers are set, we’ll sculpt and polish the filling to match your tooth.
What Are the Benefits of Tooth-Colored Fillings?
Tooth-colored fillings have several big benefits, including:
- Lifelike Looks – Because they match your teeth in color and shade, tooth-colored fillings don’t stand out.
- Non-Invasive Care – Tooth-colored fillings don’t alter your teeth much, so they preserve more of your natural tooth structure.
- Durable Results – Thanks to their durability, tooth-colored fillings are strong enough to withstand your bite force for many years.
- Non-Toxic Material – Unlike amalgam kinds, today’s tooth-colored fillings are mercury-free. They don’t carry any major health risks to your smile.
- Versatile Effects – Both front and back teeth can benefit from tooth-colored fillings. To that extent, treatment is versatile and meets varying dental needs.
What Is the Cost of Tooth-Colored Fillings?
To be honest, the cost of tooth-colored fillings varies from patient to patient. The final price depends on personal factors like filling number, filling size, dental insurance, etc. That being the case, we’ll provide a precise estimate (and a custom treatment plan) during your consultation visit. Our team will also work to make your care more affordable, guiding you through our flexible payment options. These measures should make your treatment with us effective and budget-friendly!
