Tooth-colored fillings, or white fillings, are used to repair decayed or fractured teeth and also to restore the color, shape, and size of damaged teeth. They are safe for children and adults. The cosmetic usage of tooth-colored dental fillings is in repairing chipped teeth, closing gaps between the teeth, and in making the teeth appear straighter. Whether you need to repair a cavity or enhance the appearance of one or more teeth, our team can help!
Tooth-colored fillings are recommended for children because they contain no metal and appear completely natural. This helps keep your child's strong and healthy without the need for unsightly metal fillings.
How Do Tooth-colored Fillings Work?
The procedure of placing tooth-colored fillings on the teeth is fairly simple and non-invasive. Administration of dental sedation is only required if the tooth has decayed beneath the enamel layer and into the dentin. In such cases, the decay is removed, and the tooth is cleaned and primed using a weak acid before putting in fillings.
The primer opens the pores in the enamel and dentin. A bonding material is then made to flow through the pores, and the filling material is placed in the tooth. After shaping, the filling material is cured using a special curing light. Once the filling hardens, we will check your bite and smoothen and polish the tooth to make it look natural.
What Are the Advantages of Tooth-colored Fillings?
- They make the teeth look natural as they are made of the same color as one’s teeth.
- The placement of white fillings can restore the strength of the tooth structure by 85% to 95%.
- Tooth-colored fillings are chemically bonded to the tooth structure, and therefore they do not require pins, grooves, or slots to be placed in a healthy tooth to retain them mechanically.
- They can be repaired easily if they are damaged or become loose.
- They cause minimal tooth sensitivity.
- They can be used on back and front teeth without compromising the aesthetics of teeth.
- Tooth-colored fillings can harden in seconds instead of days required by fillings made using other materials.
- The tooth-colored material is FDA-approved and safe for patients aged 6 and older.
