Dental Fillings

Every smile deserves to look as good as it feels. That’s why we offer tooth-colored fillings in Scottsdale, PA, to restore teeth affected by cavities or minor damage with materials that look completely natural.

These modern, durable fillings can strengthen your teeth and blend flawlessly with your smile, so no one will ever know you’ve had dental work done.

What Are Tooth-Colored Fillings?

Tooth-colored fillings, also called composite fillings, are a blend of fine resin and glass particles that mimic the color and translucency of natural enamel. Unlike traditional silver (amalgam) fillings, composite fillings are bonded directly to your tooth, creating a tight seal that strengthens and supports the remaining structure.

At Faywest Dental Center, our dentists carefully match the color of the filling to your natural teeth for a smooth, seamless result. The process is quick, comfortable, and typically completed in a single visit. 

 

Benefits of Tooth-Colored Fillings

When it comes to repairing cavities or restoring damaged teeth, tooth-colored fillings offer a beautiful, durable solution that blends seamlessly with your natural smile. Our dentists combine skill, precision, and artistry to create fillings that protect your teeth and look completely natural. Here are three key benefits of choosing tooth-colored fillings with our team.

Natural-Looking Results

Our tooth-colored fillings are made from high-quality composite resin that’s carefully matched to the exact shade of your natural enamel. This means your restored tooth looks and feels just like the rest. No one will ever know you had a cavity!

Strong, Durable Protection

The composite material bonds directly to your tooth structure, creating a tight seal that helps prevent future decay and adds strength to weakened enamel. You can eat, chew, and smile confidently knowing your tooth is protected.

Safe, Minimally Invasive Treatment

We use gentle techniques and anesthetics to ensure your filling appointment is quick, painless, and stress-free. Tooth-colored fillings also require less removal of your natural tooth structure compared to amalgam fillings.

Frequently Asked Questions

When it comes to repairing a cavity, you may have heard about composite fillings and silver amalgam fillings. But which one is better? Let’s break it down so you can understand the differences and what might work best for your smile.

What Are Composite Fillings?

Composite fillings, or tooth-colored fillings, are tooth-colored resin that bonds directly to your natural tooth. Because they stick to the tooth structure, less of your healthy tooth needs to be removed during treatment. That means more of your natural tooth stays intact, which is always a good thing.

How Are They Different from Amalgam Fillings?

Silver amalgam fillings are strong and durable, but they require additional drilling to create a space that can mechanically hold the filling. This often means more healthy tooth structure is removed to make the filling fit securely.

Cosmetic Advantages

One of the biggest perks of composite fillings is that they can be matched to the color of your natural teeth, making them virtually invisible when you smile. Amalgam fillings, with their silver color, are noticeable, especially on front teeth or visible areas of your mouth.

Choosing the Right Option for You

Our goal is to restore your tooth in a way that keeps your smile healthy and strong for years to come. Call us today to schedule your consultation.

What Can Tooth-Colored Fillings Help With?

Tooth-colored fillings are a versatile solution that can treat a variety of dental issues, including:

  • Cavities and Decay — Repair areas where decay has damaged the tooth surface.
  • Chipped or Cracked Teeth — Restore shape and strength to teeth with minor fractures or chips.
  • Worn Teeth — Rebuild enamel that has eroded over time from grinding or acid wear.
  • Outdated Silver Fillings — Replace outdated metal fillings for a more natural, attractive appearance.

How to Care for Your Smile After Treatment

With proper care, your restoration can last many years. Follow these tips to keep your smile healthy and bright:

  • Brush twice daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste.
  • Floss once a day to remove plaque and food particles between teeth.
  • Avoid chewing on hard items like ice, pens, or hard candy, which can chip the filling.
  • Limit staining foods and drinks like coffee, tea, and red wine to keep your filling looking bright.
  • Visit our dental office regularly for dental exams and cleanings so we can check your fillings and ensure your teeth remain healthy.
