Tooth-Colored Fillings – Mt. Pleasant, WI

Seamlessly Repair Your Decayed Teeth

In the past, dental fillings were always made out of dark-colored metal, causing them to draw the wrong kind of attention. Dentistry has come a long way since then; nowadays, Dr. Muddana and Dr. Chanana can repair cavities with tooth-colored fillings that are both more aesthetically pleasing and better for your oral health. If you think you have a cavity that needs a tooth-colored filling, give Sweet Smiles Family Dentistry a call today.

Why Choose Sweet Smiles Family Dentistry for Tooth-Colored Fillings?

What Are Tooth-Colored Fillings?

A tooth-colored filling is made out of composite resin, which is a mixture of ultra-fine acrylic and glass particles. Composite resin can be shaded so that it blends right in with your enamel, making it look like a natural part of your smile. Unlike metal fillings, composite resin fillings bond directly with the tooth, which makes them much easier to place and reduces the need to make changes to your natural dental structure.

The Process of Getting a Tooth-Colored Filling

Placing tooth-colored fillings is relatively simple. In fact, in many cases, we can do it in just one appointment. We begin by numbing your mouth and removing the decayed parts of the tooth. Once we’re sure that all the harmful bacteria are gone, we can apply composite resin to the area. We will carefully sculpt the material so that it’s the proper shape and size for the tooth in question. After hardening it in place with ultraviolet light, we’ll make any necessary last-minute adjustments and give your tooth a quick polish before sending you on your way.

The Benefits of Tooth-Colored Fillings

Why do dentists and patients prefer tooth-colored fillings over traditional metal ones? The most obvious answer, of course, is the aesthetic advantages; properly shaded composite resin can make it look as though the tooth never had a cavity in the first place. That said, there are several other benefits to consider as well:
