Tooth-colored and metal fillings are both effective in the treatment of tooth decays, but among the two, tooth-colored fillings are safer and more appealing in terms of the aesthetics. Our dentist at Family Dental Center uses a composite-resin material to provide patients with a natural-looking treatment. Aside from it being a durable type of dental restoration, it is as beneficial compared to the traditional metal fillings. Here are some of the reasons why you should consider tooth-colored fillings:
- The treatment provides a less noticeable and flawless cavity treatment as the materials are custom-shaded enough to resemble the natural color of the tooth.
- Patients can relax at the fact that tooth-colored fillings are not prone to expand and contract when temperature alteration takes place.
- With tooth-colored fillings, a long-lasting smile is guaranteed. Given the right hygiene and care, the materials can withstand for 15 years!
- The dental filling itself adds up some extra strength to the tooth.
- Unlike amalgam fillings that said to make the tooth appear grayish over time, tooth-colored fillings are impressively unable to affect the color of your pearly whites!
- Only a small amount of the damaged tooth is required to be removed for the fillings to be placed. With that being said, more of the tooth is actually preserved.
- Investing in tooth-colored fillings means an increase in the confidence level of the patients. They are sure to smile boldly and worry-free, knowing that their teeth look healthy and metal-free!
