Tooth Colored Filling
Experience with Our Steele Creek Tooth Colored Fillings Services
Tooth-colored fillings restore damaged teeth with a natural appearance and durability. The procedure starts by removing the decayed portion and cleaning the area. A bonding agent is applied to help the filling adhere securely. For deep cavities, a temporary filling may be placed first to allow healing before applying the permanent composite filling, reducing sensitivity risks.
The composite resin is layered and hardened with a curing light to build strength. After curing, the filling is shaped and polished to match the tooth’s natural contours, restoring function and appearance seamlessly.
Advantages of Tooth Colored Fillings
Tooth-colored fillings offer a natural-looking solution for damaged teeth. Contact your Charlotte dentist if you notice:
- Lingering sensitivity. Mild sensitivity is normal initially, but ongoing discomfort may indicate improper sealing or returning decay.
- Chipped or cracked filling. Composite resin can break from grinding or hard foods and should be repaired promptly.
- Discoloration around the filling. Staining over time may require replacement.
- Roughness while chewing. Your filling should feel smooth; uneven surfaces may need adjustment.
