Tooth-Colored Fillings

in Heath, Texas

Advances in dental technology and materials now deliver beautiful, natural-looking smiles. Hummingbird Dental is proud to offer tooth-colored fillings to repair and restore the natural appearance of decayed teeth. These restorations are closely matched to the color of your teeth and blend in seamlessly with your smile. You’ll love the incredible results!

How do cavities develop?

Lingering food particles or sugars from beverages provide oral bacteria with an abundant food source. As they feast, bacteria produce harmful acids that eat away at the hard, protective surface of your teeth known as enamel, which results in cavities. If left untreated, the damage can progress through to the dentin, and to the inner tooth pulp, which could cause pain and discomfort and would require more involved procedures, such as root canal therapy.

What are tooth-colored fillings?

Fillings are primarily used to repair cavities from decay, cracks, and fractures. Tooth-colored fillings, made of a fine glass mixed in a resin material, deliver incredibly natural, virtually unnoticeable results. They blend well with your natural teeth, unlike amalgam fillings with their silver color that detracts from your smile. Tooth-colored fillings offer a perfect solution to restore cavities or damage to the front teeth or ones visible when you smile.

What is the dental filling procedure?

We will start the procedure by applying a local anesthetic to numb the area for your comfort. After removing any decay and cleaning and sterilizing the cavity, we will place the tooth-colored filling material and will adjust it to ensure that it feels just like a natural tooth.

Caring for your restored teeth

Brushing, flossing, and keeping up with your routine dental exams and cleanings will allow us to monitor your oral health and your restorations. Proper oral hygiene practices will leave you with a healthy, confident smile for many years to come.
