Tooth-Colored Fillings in Bellmead, TX

Composite fillings have been a preferred choice of teeth restoration in recent years for several reasons. Our trained professionals in Bellmead, TX, offer tooth-colored fillings to ensure the following benefits:

• The most prominent advantage of composite restorations is that they resemble the exact shade of your teeth, unlike metal fillings. They blend perfectly into your teeth, giving a flawlessly natural appearance.
• Compared to metal fillings that require mechanical adherence, composite fillings chemically bond with the matrix of your teeth. This way, they last longer and have a much lower risk of dislodgement.
• Composite fillings are made of a durable resin material, making them capable of withstanding strong chewing and biting forces. They reinforce your tooth structure and protect them against further damage.
• Since metal fillings conduct heat, they often cause increased tooth sensitivity. Composite fillings are temperature-resistant, which makes them an ideal option for restoring sensitive teeth.

During your initial consultation at our practice in Bellmead, TX, we will examine your teeth to evaluate whether tooth-colored fillings will be the best option for you. If you have minor cosmetic flaws, our expert dentists can fix them in a single visit using composite restorations.

We’ll begin the process by injecting local anesthesia. Once the area is numb, our dentist will use an electronic device to remove the carious or decayed portion of your teeth. After debridement, we will select a shade and prep the area for composite fillings. Our dentist will place the filling in the prepared cavity and mold it to match the natural appearance of your teeth. The final steps are to harden the composite filling using a curing light and polish it for a smooth finish.
