A tooth-colored filling is a popular and aesthetically pleasing alternative to traditional silver amalgam fillings. Not only are tooth-colored fillings metal-free, but they are also durable and natural-looking, promoting a more organic and seamless grin.
What to Expect During a Tooth-Colored Filling
The process of placing a tooth-colored filling is a painless and straightforward procedure, and it can be completed in a single dental visit at Sound Dental Solutions.
Before Dr. Andrew Kim and our team perform the treatment, we ensure you are comfortable and relaxed so you can have a positive, pain-free dental experience.
Your dentist then gently cleans the tooth, removing all traces of decay and bacteria.
Next, he fills the tooth with white composite resin to match the shade of your natural tooth. Composite resin is a malleable substance your dentist will shape and mold to the tooth to look natural and feel comfortable.
Once the resin is in the proper nooks and crannies of the tooth, and it is to both of your satisfaction, Dr. Kim cures the resin using a special light.
Finally, Dr. Kim polishes the tooth to make it look shiny and new.
