What Is the Process for Tooth-Colored Fillings?
A cavity filling begins with a careful exam of the tooth. The dentist checks the area and removes the decayed or damaged portion. The tooth is then cleaned and prepared for the filling material. The dental composite resin is placed in layers. Each layer is hardened with a special light. The dentist then shapes the filling so it fits your bite and blends with the tooth around it. The final step is polishing the surface for a smooth feel. This type of tooth repair helps seal the treated area. It also helps restore normal chewing function. For many patients, the finished result looks natural enough to blend in during daily smiles and conversations.
What Are the Benefits of Tooth-Colored Fillings?
Tooth-colored fillings can repair small areas of decay while keeping the smile's natural appearance in mind. They also allow our dental team at Morlan Family Dental in Plymouth, MA to treat damage with a material that bonds directly to the tooth. Benefits include:
- Natural-looking fillings blend with nearby enamel
