When cavities occur, Dentistry With a Difference can help restore your teeth to good health with tooth-colored fillings in Dunwoody, GA. They are simple yet efficient treatments that can prevent cavities from worsening and causing more serious issues. 

What are Tooth-Colored Fillings?

These materials are made of “composite resin,” which is used to fill cavities in teeth. In essence, composite resin is a plastic and glass blend. Fillings are cemented into the tooth using a blue-wave curing light and a strong bonding chemical. They are long lasting and virtually invisible.

Tooth-colored fillings are used when a tooth is fractured, has a cavity, or an existing filling has chipped away. Silver fillings were popular in the past  for their durability. But tooth-colored fillings became increasingly common due to their appealing appearance and technological advancements in the creation of composite resin.

When a dental filling matches the color of a natural tooth, it appears as though it is a natural part of the tooth rather than an artificial addition. When added, it will blend in with the color and texture of your teeth.

What Happens in a Dental Fillings Treatment?

The comfort of our patients is always prioritized here at Dentistry With a Difference and if you or your child need a filling but are overwhelmed with dental anxiety, we can help. We have sedation dentistry options that can make the process go smoothly with little to no discomfort. 

After you or your child are comfortable, the area with the cavity will be carved out and then a unique gel is used to clean and polish the surface. The tooth-colored filling will then fill the empty area. After the filling is inserted, it is hardened with a curing light, polished and adjusted  to ensure your bite is balanced properly. It is important to continue your daily homecare regimen of brushing and flossing to keep fillings healthy and strong.
