At Parkway Family Dental, we are dedicated to restoring your smile with high-quality, tooth-colored dental fillings that repair cavities and enhance the natural beauty of your teeth. Our dental team meticulously matches the composite filling material to the exact shade of your teeth, ensuring a seamless blend supporting oral health while maintaining a flawless, natural appearance.
What Are Dental Fillings?
Dental fillings are one of the most common restorative dental treatments, used to repair teeth affected by minor to moderate damage such as cavities, small fractures, or chips. By restoring the structure and function of your tooth, fillings improve your smile and help maintain overall oral health. At Parkway Family Dental, we use tooth-colored composite materials for our fillings, offering a safer and more aesthetically pleasing alternative to traditional silver amalgam.
The Filling Process
The process of getting a dental filling is straightforward and typically completed in just one comfortable visit. During your appointment, our team will remove any decayed or damaged areas, thoroughly clean the tooth, and apply the composite material. The filling is carefully shaped to match the contours of your tooth and hardened to create a durable restoration. For added comfort, a local anesthetic may be used.
Benefits of Tooth-Colored Fillings
Composite fillings offer several advantages, including:
- Strong bonding to enhance the structural integrity of your tooth.
- A natural appearance with a shade matched to your teeth.
- Superior insulation from temperature changes caused by food and beverages.
- Reduced risk of future decay or leakage due to superior sealing around the treated area.
- The absence of metals or mercury makes it a safer and more eco-friendly option.
At Parkway Family Dental, we believe in providing restorative solutions that not only protect your teeth but also elevate your confidence in your smile. If you have a damaged or decayed tooth, a composite filling may be the perfect solution for you.
