Tooth-Colored Fillings at Divine Expressions
Tooth-colored fillings, also known as composite fillings, are used to repair a tooth that has been affected by decay, cracks, or fractures. They are designed to match the color of your natural teeth, providing a more aesthetically pleasing alternative to traditional silver amalgam fillings.
Your procedure begins with removing the decayed portion of the tooth. Then, a special material that matches the color of your teeth is applied in layers. Each layer is hardened, or cured, with a special light. Once the final layer is applied, the filling is shaped to fit your tooth and polished to prevent staining and early wear.
Teeth-colored fillings offer numerous advantages. They provide good durability for small to medium cavities and are ideal for front or visible parts of teeth due to their natural look. This type of filling is also beneficial because it bonds directly with the tooth structure, offering more support and preventing breakage.
Following the placement of your tooth-colored fillings, it’s important to maintain good oral hygiene practices, including brushing, flossing, and regular check-ups. Avoiding habits that can cause damage, such as biting on hard objects, can also prolong the life of your fillings.
