Why You Should Consider Getting A Tooth-Colored Dental Filling

Posted on 1/9/2023 by Janice K. Pliszczak, DDS

When you have tooth decay, a dental filling can help restore the tooth's function and shape. Many people in the US, including children and adults, have cavities. These cavities can be solved by dental fillings. There are different types of fillings, and tooth-colored dental fillings are one of them. The following are reasons you should consider tooth-colored dental fillings instead of the others:

Appearance

One of the prime reasons to consider a tooth-colored dental filling is aesthetics. If you want fillings that blend uniformly with the rest of your teeth, tooth-colored fillings are the ideal choice.

Tooth-colored fillings simply look more natural and make it harder for people to notice them. It will improve your smile, which will be brighter and make you look better than if you used other fillings. Tooth-colored fillings are an option for the front teeth, but they can still serve effectively for the premolars and molars if they are fabricated of porcelain material.

Quick Procedures

No one likes going to the dentist, let alone spending hours in that seemingly dreadful chair. Tooth-colored fillings typically have less procedure time than other types. The dentist only has to use anesthesia, dig out the cavity to remove any infected tooth material, and clean the tooth before putting the composite resin material. The procedure typically lasts ten to fifteen minutes per tooth.

Long Lasting Results

If you have excellent oral health habits and properly care for your mouth, tooth-colored fillings should last for at least ten years. Brushing and flossing twice a day, plus getting a dental exam twice a year will ensure you get your money's worth. Tooth-colored fillings are hence an excellent long-term option.

The three reasons above should convince you to get tooth-colored fillings. Visit our dentist or call us for an appointment. We are ready to provide much-needed help when it comes to restoring a damaged tooth or teeth.
