Preserve Your Tooth’s Natural Color with Composite Resin Fillings
Cavities are never ideal, but repairing them doesn’t have to compromise the look of your smile. At Brimhall Family Dentistry, we use composite resin fillings that blend seamlessly with your natural tooth color. These tooth-colored fillings are made from a durable mixture of ceramic and plastic compounds designed to withstand normal biting and chewing forces while maintaining a natural appearance.
Composite fillings are an excellent choice for restoring areas of your teeth that are visible when you talk, smile, or laugh. They’re a reliable, aesthetically pleasing solution for preserving both the health and look of your teeth.
What to Expect from Your Filling Procedure
Your dentist will begin by preparing the tooth and making sure the area is properly numbed for your comfort. Once the decay is removed and the tooth is ready, we apply the composite resin in layers. Each layer is hardened with a specialized curing light to ensure a strong, lasting bond.
After the resin is built up to the proper shape, your dentist will carefully sculpt it to match the natural contours of your tooth. Finally, we polish the composite filling to smooth the surface and help prevent staining and premature wear.
Are Tooth-Colored Fillings Right for You?
Tooth-colored composite fillings are an excellent option for most patients who need to restore a decayed or damaged tooth without affecting its appearance. If you have questions about your treatment options or want to learn more about financing and insurance coverage, we’re here to help.
