White Fillings

White Fillings

My Dentist of Port St. Lucie gives patients in white fillings that showcase a beautiful smile. We offer white composite fillings made of a glass and plastic mixture that looks and feels like a regular tooth. These fillings can change a tooth’s color or reshape an oddly formed one.

What Are Composite Fillings?

Composite fillings are a solution to troublesome cavities and a method to prevent an extraction from being necessary. They appeal to many people because of how natural they look. Their shades can accurately match the color of the other teeth in the patient’s mouth, boosting their confidence in their smile.

White fillings can improve oral health by tackling a cavity before it worsens from being left unattended. White fillings also improve the structure, strength, and appearance of your teeth by utilizing a straightforward procedure.

Benefits of Composite Fillings

  • Bond to the natural tooth structure
  • Look natural and are color-matched to the patient’s front teeth
  • Do not expand and contract like metal fillings
  • Less drilling and filling and effective for small restorations
  • Provide support to the tooth and will not leak

Procedure for Composite Fillings

First, the dentist carefully removes decay from the cavity of a tooth. Doing this prevents further damage and creates space to fill the hole correctly. The dentist applies a bonding agent to the tooth before placing and molding the composite onto the targetted tooth’s structure.

 

A light shines on the treated tooth for a brief period (depending on the patient and their dental needs) and hardens it. This step completes the filling process, and the tooth looks new and beautiful. White fillings are a beneficial option, especially for someone experiencing acidic erosion and noticeable damage to their enamel.

 

For patients in , white fillings have never been more attainable. The procedure for composite fillings is simple, safe, and executed through our team of trained dental professionals. Patients should brush, floss, and care for their teeth to maintain good oral hygiene after the treatment and ensure the longevity of the fillings.
