Chances are, you’ve probably seen silver amalgam fillings. You may even have one yourself. In addition to being unsightly, these fillings can weaken the tooth structure. White or tooth-colored fillings are just as strong as amalgam fillings and can fully restore small cavities without detracting from the smile’s appearance. The composite resin restoration can be shaded to perfectly match your natural tooth color, so no one will notice that you have had dental work. Furthermore, tooth-colored fillings allow us to preserve a more natural tooth structure which helps it stay strong.
In addition to repairing cavities, the same powdered glass and plastic resin material can be used in other applications such as fixing cracked or broken teeth.
If you are experiencing pain or sensitivity that you believe may be a cavity, the office of Chase Patton, DDS in Columbia, Missouri, is here to help. Our team is dedicated to helping our patients enjoy all the benefits of a beautiful and healthy smile. We can have you out of pain with white fillings, smiling again in no time.
