Restore the radiance and vitality of your smile with tooth-colored fillings

Teeth Whitening Before After

A dental filling in South Huntington, New York, is a quick and conservative treatment to restore your tooth’s function and shape. Traditionally, dentists used only silver-colored amalgam fillings to treat tooth decay. Unfortunately, many people dislike the silver appearance of these fillings, which also contain mercury that can harm the body.

Composite fillings are the only dental restorations that All City Cosmetic Dental Care uses to treat cavities and minor tooth damage. Composite or white fillings are created from biocompatible and tooth-colored materials, providing an optimal mix for safe and aesthetically appealing outcomes.

How are tooth-colored fillings placed?

Placing composite fillings is one of the most routine treatments in our office. The procedure is quick, painless, and minimally invasive. The dentist starts the procedure by inspecting your tooth to ensure only a filling is needed. Large cavities may require an onlay or crown for durable function and aesthetics.

If a filling is necessary, we will precisely numb your tooth with local anesthetics to minimize discomfort. However, surface cavities don’t require anesthetics. Next, the dentist will remove the decayed/damaged portion and thoroughly clean your tooth to remove all traces of unwanted bacteria.

Later, the dentist will carefully fill the void with composite resin and harden it using a special curing light. Next, we will shape and contour your filling before polishing it for a natural-looking appearance. Lastly, the dentist will check your bite to ensure it feels and looks natural.

What are the benefits of composite fillings?

Dentists and patients alike love composite fillings because they offer the following benefits:

  • Cosmetically appealing results
  • Placing composites is a minimally invasive procedure
  • Composites are created from biocompatible, non-toxic materials
  • Tooth-colored fillings bond chemically with the tooth to provide optimal protection
  • White fillings have insulating properties, making them resistant to temperature changes
  • They are durable and long-lasting
  • Versatility to address several dental issues, including cavities, stains, chips, gaps, etc.

How do I care for my composite fillings?

Dental fillings aren’t permanent but can last many years with proper care. Good news! Caring for your filling is simple because it’s similar to maintaining your natural teeth. Here are a few tips to keep your fillings healthy:

  • Brush your teeth twice daily and floss your teeth at least once, preferably before bedtime
  • Visit your dentist every six months for regular exams and cleanings
  • If you grind your teeth or play contact sports, wear a custom mouthguard to protect your filling
  • Avoid consuming sugary and acidic foods
  • Quit smoking since tobacco products can stain your composite filling
  • Don’t use your teeth to chew on ice, candies, and other hard substances
