GENERAL DENTISTRY
Tooth-colored fillings
Restore a tooth with a material chosen to resemble its natural appearance.
Request an appointment
Repair, with attention to the details.
The practice offers composite fillings for teeth affected by decay or fracture. Composite is bonded to the tooth and shaped to restore its form.
Enamel Dental’s published description includes checking the bite after a filling and checking access for floss when the filling reaches between teeth.
At your appointment
The dentist needs to assess the tooth before recommending treatment. Ask what needs repairing, whether a filling is suitable and what you can expect during the appointment. Discuss comfort and numbing rather than assuming the same approach applies to every tooth.
Questions worth bringing
- Is a filling appropriate for this tooth?
- How will the bite and contact between my teeth be checked?
- What should I expect after the appointment?
YOUR QUESTIONS
About tooth-colored fillings
Are white fillings the same as composite fillings?
The practice uses both terms to describe tooth-colored composite restorations.
Could another restoration be needed?
Ask whether the condition of your tooth calls for a filling or another option, such as a crown.
