What are Tooth-Colored Fillings?
Tooth-colored fillings are a restorative and cosmetic treatment used to repair teeth in cases of damage or decay. Also known as white fillings and composite fillings, tooth-colored fillings are made from composite resin. The resin consists of plastic and glass particles, which can be shaded to match the surrounding tooth structure.
Composite resin can also be used to repair chipped, cracked, or fractured teeth. If you have a discolored or misshapen tooth, we can enhance its appearance with composite resin restoration.
How Long Do Tooth-Colored Fillings Last?
Tooth-colored fillings can last many years before needing to be repaired or replaced. In most cases, your filling can last ten years or more. Be sure to practice good at-home hygiene to keep your fillings (and the rest of your teeth!) in the best possible condition. Proper daily brushing and flossing can prevent future cavities and keep your smile healthy for years to come.
Do Fillings Hurt?
Filling cavities is a generally pain- and stress-free procedure. Our team will numb your tooth with a local anesthetic to make you comfortable throughout the procedure. If you need additional help to relax during your visit, be sure to ask about our sedation options.
Do You Accept Insurance?
Yes, we do! For your convenience, Dewey Dental accepts Delta Dental, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and Soonercare. We also accept CareCredit and offer affordable in-house financing for qualifying patients. Be sure to ask a member of our friendly front desk team about all the payment options available to you!
