What Are Tooth-Colored Fillings?
Cavities, one of the most common dental problems, develop when bacteria erode your enamel. Previously, dental cavities were treated with an amalgam material, a mixture of different metals including silver or mercury. We now know that amalgam fillings don't bond fully with the enamel, and the mercury can be hazardous to your general health. At Sanchez Dentistry in San Antonio, TX, we offer tooth-colored fillings made from a composite resin to fill and protect cavities. We can also remove old metal fillings and apply tooth-colored fillings for a more reliable, attractive treatment for cavities.
What Should I Expect with Tooth-Colored Fillings?
Receiving a filling with composite resin at Sanchez Dentistry is usually a simple process. The area surrounding the cavity will be numbed to minimize your discomfort. Stronger sedation methods can be considered for any fears or anxieties to keep you relaxed during the procedure. As soon as you're ready, the affected enamel is removed with a special drill that will be chosen based on where the cavity is located in the tooth and the amount of decay. Once the enamel is removed and the tooth is disinfected, the cavity will be replaced with the composite resin and set. The filling material will then be polished to feel comfortable and match your other teeth.
What Are the Benefits of Tooth-Colored Fillings?
At our San Antonio, TX practice, we want to offer our patients modern treatments in dental care. Natural-looking fillings are a reliable and beneficial solution, offering many advantages, such as:
- Easy, same-day treatment that gives long-lasting prevention
- Prevention against dental caries
- Protecting against plaque and debris buildup
