White Filling Treatments Tucson
Dental composite bonding is a tooth filling material that can match the shade and texture of your natural teeth. They provide a much better result than silver fillings which can be unsightly when you smile.
As a patient, your Tucson dentist should inform you of the availability of the white composite fillings.
Some Advantages Of White Fillings
It’s a common practice among cosmetic dentists to replace old metal fillings with tooth-colored composite. Bonding is not suitable if you have large cavities in your teeth, as the material does not have a strong structure over large areas. Bonding is ideal for small fillings that are not exposed to great forces. Here are some advantages:
- they restore most of the original strength of the tooth
- not susceptible to breaking
- will be the same colour as your natural teeth
- composites can save a lot of expense over the long run
- they restore the natural appearance of the tooth
- less sensitive to hot and cold
- mercury-free
- require less removal of tooth structure
- can be fitted in the same visit within an hour
How Are Composites Done?
The procedure is similar to using silver fillings. The area of the tooth that is decaying or has cracked is cleaned and prepped as usual and then a bonding glue like material is placed in the area in layers. Each layer gets hard with the help of a special light that your dentist holds over the tooth. When the last layer of the filling is hard, your dentist shapes the filling so it looks and feels natural.
