At Remington Family Dental, our skilled dentists and team offer tooth-colored dental fillings to restore and strengthen damaged teeth. Fillings are commonly used to repair minor to moderate damage, such as cracks, fractures, chips, and cavities. Tooth-colored fillings not only restore the shape and function of your teeth but also help preserve their structure. Unlike traditional silver-colored amalgam fillings, we exclusively use composite filling materials for several reasons. Composite fillings blend seamlessly with your natural tooth color, providing a more attractive result. Additionally, they require less removal of the original tooth structure, making them a healthier, long-term solution.
Dental Fillings: What to Expect:
Your dental filling can typically be completed in a single visit. Our dentists will begin by thoroughly cleaning the affected tooth and removing any decay or damaged tissue. If the damage is close to the inner nerves of the tooth, a special medication may be applied for added protection. The composite material is then carefully placed and shaped to match the natural contours of your tooth. Finally, the filling is hardened with a curing light and polished to achieve a smooth, natural-looking finish.
