With our composite fillings, we can reverse the effects of minor-to-moderate tooth decay, save damaged teeth, and keep your smile bright.
With our gentle, minimally-invasive treatment methods and sedation available, we do our best to make sure you’re comfortable throughout your entire appointment.
We use composite, tooth-colored fillings, which match the color of your teeth for better cosmetic results.
Composite fillings are a type of dental filling that is made out of a special dental resin. They are designed to match the color of your surrounding enamel, and our dentists will choose a shade that makes your smile look seamless and beautiful. While traditional metal-amalgam fillings have a silvery-gray appearance that can discolor your teeth, composite fillings look completely natural.
Fillings are the best way to protect your oral health after you develop a cavity. If left untreated, cavities will get larger and destroy the structure of your tooth. As a cavity becomes deeper, it will tend to catch more debris and become even more vulnerable to decay and infection. To protect your oral health, come to Vivid Smiles as soon as you can to have a suspected cavity checked out. The sooner you get treatment, the better the outcome will be for your smile.
The entire process usually takes less than an hour at Vivid Smiles. To begin your appointment, your mouth will be cleaned and your tooth will be numbed with to ensure that you feel no discomfort throughout the treatment. Next, Dr. Paruchuri or Dr. Philip will examine your tooth, and remove any damaged, infected enamel and tooth material. Once the tooth has been properly prepared, the filling material will be applied and sculpted to match the chewing surface of your tooth. Then, it will be hardened into place adjusted to ensure it matches your bite properly. This completes the procedure, and you’ll leave our office with peace of mind knowing that your tooth is protected from further harm!
