Dental cavities are the most common dental disease there is. It’s very preventable. A simple procedure like a dental composite filling can easily restore that tooth back to a healthy state. In my office, we don’t use silver fillings. We don’t use any metal, mercury filling materials. We use colored-tooth fillings. Right after we restore your tooth, we get you back to your oral hygiene appointment. Your teeth can get back to your normal, healthy state.
Restore Your Tooth With a Barely Visible Solution
Dental fillings are one of the most common restorative treatments. It’s no surprise, considering how many children and adults have cavities. The Center of Disease Control (CDC) says that about a quarter of adults have untreated tooth decay. Cavities may sound like a routine problem. If ignored, though, they can progress into an infection that seriously harms your smile.
When you visit our practice, we stay on top of those issues, so you don’t have to worry. Your dentist uses composite material, not metal, to repair your smile. You will appreciate all the benefits that come from this filling option:
- Beautiful Appearance – Composite fillings are more attractive, matching the natural color of your teeth.
- Minimal Tooth Alteration – You’ll keep more of your natural tooth structure, since we won’t have to remove as much to make room for your filling.
- Reduced Allergy Risks – Composite material is less likely to cause allergic reactions. This is ideal for those vulnerable to the material in metal fillings.
- Mercury-Free – While there is still an ongoing debate about the safety of mercury, you won’t have to worry about it at all with composite fillings. Unlike amalgam fillings, they contain no mercury. So there are no concerns about mercury’s long-term effects on your health.
