If you have a cavity, a tooth-colored dental filling may be recommended. Our tooth-colored fillings are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, restoring both the appearance and function of your tooth.
Dental Fillings Process
When a filling is needed, our dentist will begin by removing the decayed portion of the tooth and thoroughly cleaning the area. Once all decay and debris are cleared, the filling process begins. A tooth-colored material is selected to match your natural tooth shade. The filling material is applied in layers, with each layer being cured as it is placed. After all layers are applied, the filling is carefully shaped, and any excess material is removed to ensure a comfortable, natural fit.
There is no special care required for your new filling—just continue practicing good oral hygiene. Brush your teeth twice a day, floss daily, and visit our office at least twice a year for regular checkups.
