Your Experience With Dental Fillings

When a cavity forms on your tooth, your dentist can put an end to it by removing the infected area. Once this is accomplished, your tooth will be in need of support, as your enamel will not be able to repair itself against the damage done by a cavity. Many patients who undergo restorative dental care will receive a dental filling to provide that support. Unlike with a dental crown, a dental filling will not cover the entirety of your tooth. Instead, it will be placed in the space where your cavity was removed. That provided protection is important – without your filling, your tooth can be weakened, and face a greater risk for future issues.

Why Your Dentist Offers Composite Resin Fillings For Patients

With composite resin fillings, your dentist can support your tooth without creating a cosmetic concern. Many people can mistakenly assume that only metal fillings are available to them. Metal fillings can stand out against your surrounding enamel, and draw unwanted attention. Composite resin can match with your natural tooth structure, so that your tooth looks unchanged.

What Should I Do If I Have A Problem With An Existing Filling?

If you have an older filling that needs to be replaced, or experience any issues with a filling that has been provided, let your dentist know. If something happens to your restoration, it will put your tooth at risk.

Enjoy Restorative Care That Offers Support Without Disrupting Your Smile

Modern materials allow your dentist to provide you with a restoration that protects your appearance. In addition to composite resin fillings, you can have a dental crown that closely mimics real teeth. Ceramic crowns are durable, but also provide support that does not draw unwanted attention.
