At Laurel Family Dental, we provide tooth-colored dental fillings to repair teeth affected by cracks, fractures, chipping, and decay. These fillings are ideal for addressing minor to moderate tooth damage, restoring the strength, shape, and natural appearance of your teeth. By literally “filling in” damaged areas, fillings help preserve your tooth structure and enhance your overall oral health.
While traditional fillings are made of silver-colored amalgam, we use advanced tooth-colored composite fillings for a more natural and aesthetically pleasing result. Composite fillings are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth while requiring less removal of your original tooth structure, offering a healthier and more attractive solution for your smile.
Dental Fillings Process
The process of placing a dental filling is typically completed in a single appointment. Our dentists will begin by thoroughly cleaning the affected tooth to remove all traces of decay or damage. If the decay is near the tooth’s nerve, a special medication may be applied to ensure your comfort and protect the tooth. Next, the composite filling is carefully placed, shaped to match your tooth’s natural contours, and hardened with a special light. Finally, the filling is polished to create a smooth, flawless finish.
