Fillings & Restoration

Cavities or small damage to your teeth shouldn’t compromise the beauty of your smile. At Sweet Tooth Dental, we offer tooth-colored fillings as a natural-looking, durable solution to restore your teeth while maintaining a seamless, polished appearance.

What Are Tooth-Colored Fillings?
Tooth-colored fillings, also known as composite fillings, are made from a durable, tooth-colored resin that blends beautifully with your natural teeth. Unlike traditional metal fillings, these fillings are virtually invisible, ensuring your restored teeth look and feel completely natural.

When Are Tooth-Colored Fillings Needed?
You might need a filling if you have:
• Cavities caused by tooth decay.
• Minor chips or cracks in your teeth.
• Worn enamel due to grinding or wear.

Tooth-colored fillings are an excellent choice for restoring both the health and appearance of your teeth, especially in visible areas of your smile.

The Benefits of Tooth-Colored Fillings
• Natural Appearance: The resin material matches the shade of your teeth for a seamless look.
• Durable and Strong: Composite fillings bond to your tooth, strengthening it and reducing the risk of future fractures.
• Mercury-Free: These fillings are a safer, modern alternative to traditional silver amalgam.
• Preservation of Tooth Structure: Less of your natural tooth needs to be removed compared to metal fillings.

What to Expect During the Procedure
1. Preparation: We’ll numb the area to ensure you’re comfortable throughout the procedure.
2. Decay Removal: The decayed portion of the tooth is gently removed to prepare for the filling.
3. Filling Placement: The composite resin is applied in layers, shaped to match your tooth’s natural contours, and hardened using a special light.
4. Polishing: The filling is polished to blend perfectly with your surrounding teeth.

Caring for Your Fillings
Tooth-colored fillings are long-lasting with proper care. Maintain good oral hygiene, avoid biting on hard objects, and visit us for regular checkups to ensure your fillings stay in great condition.
