Tooth-colored fillings are made of strong materials that can last a long period of time. They also help improve the appearance of a smile. At
Gordon Family Dental in Lehi, UT we use this type of filling to seal off holes in a tooth that are caused by cavities or decay. This filling helps prevent decay from spreading further.
About Tooth-Colored Fillings
Our Lehi dentist can examine each patient to decide whether or not they are a viable candidate for cosmetic tooth-colored fillings. They are used to restore the teeth both in function and appearance. For many patients who have the classic silver amalgam filling, they want to improve their smile with white fillings. A composite filling is a great option for individuals that don’t want their fillings to show. This procedure requires less drilling, which is great for those with teeth that already are at risk for cracking. Our Lehi dentist can offer the best options for your oral health situation. We believe in a personalized plan that offers solutions for each patient’s and their needs.
After receiving a filling, you may be more susceptible to cold or hot foods or beverages. If you feel pain after a filling, it can signal a bite problem, so your dentist will need to examine you make an adjustment. It is important not to leave this long as the longer you keep the tooth with an improper height, the more likely your tooth is to crack or break.
