Tooth-Colored Fillings – Kingwood, TX
An Aesthetic Alternative to Metal Restorations
You’re likely familiar with the aesthetic effect metal restorations can have on your smile. Even if a metal filling is placed flawlessly, over time, its blueish hue will become visible through your enamel. They can be uncomfortable, too, as they tend to expand and contract in response to temperature and altitudes changes. By getting tooth-colored fillings in Kingwood, you can avoid both of these problems with one treatment!

Why Choose KINGWOOD FAMILY DENTISTRY for Tooth-Colored Fillings?
What Are Tooth-Colored Fillings?
If you develop cavities, the harmful bacteria can eat a hole through your teeth. Leaving this hole alone isn’t good for your dental health! To treat the issue, dentists simply “fill” the cavity – hence the name. While metal fillings are still considered safe by the FDA and ADA, their popularity has dwindled since tooth-colored composite resin came on the dental scene. This seamless material is just as durable as its more traditional counterpart, and many patients prefer its seamless aesthetics and superior comfort.
The Process of Getting a Tooth-Colored Filling
At Kingwood Family Dentistry, we follow a highly customized process for providing patients with quality, cosmetically appealing fillings. In one appointment, we’ll color-match the composite resin to match your tooth, mold it into its ideal shape, remove any lingering decay, and polish your pearly white. We’ll also be sure to numb your mouth before beginning, so rest assured, you’ll be quite comfortable for the duration of your treatment.
The Benefits of Tooth-Colored Fillings
Patients love how natural tooth-colored fillings look, but they offer many other benefits as well! Where metal fillings can break your tooth when they expand and contract, composite resin fillings are known to help prevent your tooth from breaking. Because this aesthetic material is able to bind to your enamel, we also won’t have to shave your tooth down as much as we would with a metal filling.
Give us a call if you’re interested in restoring your smile with tooth-colored fillings, and we’ll be happy to go into more detail about how they will benefit your pearly whites!
