WHAT ARE TOOTH-COLORED FILLINGS

A dental cavity is a common problem that arises when bacteria attack your dental enamel. In the past, dental cavities were treated with an amalgam material, which is a mixture of metals, like mercury or silver. Now we know that amalgam fillings don't bond fully with the teeth, and the mercury can be hazardous to your general health. At Alliance Family Dentistry in Naples, FL, Dr. Dasha Frias Landa uses tooth-colored fillings made with a composite resin to fill cavities and protect the tooth. We can also remove old metal fillings and apply composite resin fillings for a safer and more attractive treatment of cavities.

What to Expect from Tooth-Colored Fillings
Getting a filling at Alliance Family Dentistry is typically a simple process. To start, the treatment area will be numbed to minimize your discomfort. Stronger forms of sedation can be considered for any fear or anxiety you have to keep you relaxed during the procedure. After you're prepared, the infected enamel is removed with a special drill that Dr. Frias Landa will choose based upon where the cavity is located and the amount of decay. Once the enamel is cleared away and the tooth is disinfected, the cavity will be filled with the composite resin and set with a special light. Dr. Frias Landa will polish the filling material so it matches your other teeth.
