How tooth-colored fillings from your dentist in Zebulon, NC, can improve your smile
If you need a filling, you may be dreading the look, feel, and taste of metal in your mouth. Relax, there is an excellent alternative you need to know about. It’s called a tooth-colored filling, and it can really make a difference in your smile.
Dr. Timothy Creech in Zebulon, NC, offers a wide range of dental services, including tooth-colored fillings to improve your smile.
Tooth-colored fillings offer some amazing benefits like these:
- They look completely natural because the color of the material can be matched to your existing tooth color
- They are strong because the material is actually bonded to your tooth structure
- They are completely metal-free, which makes them perfect for people with metal allergies or metal sensitivity
Tooth-colored fillings use a liquid resin, known as composite. The composite is matched to the shade of your tooth and sculpted to match the natural contours of your tooth. Then, the composite is hardened with ultraviolet light. The result is a strong restorative treatment that blends seamlessly with your smile.
Tooth-colored fillings are an excellent choice to repair problems like these:
- Small and large areas of tooth decay
- Small and large chips or areas of tooth wear
- Small and large chips or cracks
- Small and large areas of lost tooth structure
In some cases of extensive tooth damage, a dental crown may be recommended. Porcelain crowns provide the perfect natural-looking complement to tooth-colored fillings.
Imagine not having to deal with the unsightly appearance of old, crumbly metal fillings. Imagine not having to experience the metallic taste in your mouth. Imagine having strong fillings that make your smile whole again, and look completely natural. Tooth-colored fillings can help you achieve your smile goals.
