Tooth-colored dental fillings are an excellent solution for repairing cavities while preserving the natural look of your smile. Unlike traditional silver amalgam fillings, which can be noticeable when you smile, laugh or speak, composite fillings blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. At BB Dental Studio, we use only high-quality composite materials that are designed to match the color and texture of your tooth, giving you a more natural and aesthetically pleasing result.
One of the primary benefits of tooth-colored fillings is that they bond directly to the tooth structure, providing additional support. This bonding helps strengthen the tooth and reduces the risk of future fractures. Additionally, composite fillings can be applied in smaller areas, allowing our dentist to conserve more of your natural tooth during the procedure. The composite material also provides insulation from temperature changes, which can help minimize sensitivity to hot and cold foods and beverages.
Tooth-colored fillings create a better seal around the edges of the damaged area, reducing the risk of further decay or leakage. They are also free from metals, such as mercury, which were once common in traditional fillings. This makes them a safer, more biocompatible option for your oral health. Should your filling ever need repair, it can often be fixed without the need for complete removal, making maintenance easier and less invasive.
When you come in for a filling, Dr. Sara Zeidan will carefully select the shade of composite that best matches your natural tooth color. We will them remove the damaged or decayed portions of the tooth, apply the filling material and shape it to the contours of your tooth before hardening and polishing it. This process ensures that your filling is virtually invisible and helps you maintain a confident, healthy smile. In most cases, tooth-colored fillings can be placed in a single appointment.
