You may have some tooth discolorations of which you are ashamed and want to do something about it. Don’t go around covering your mouth self-consciously every time you try to smile. You can get help and restoration for your teeth. The Crestwood Dental Group of Kentucky offers Tooth-colored Fillings Services in La Grange, KY. They want to tell you about some advantages of tooth-colored fillings, also called composite fillings.
In days gone by, tooth fillings consisted of various metals such as liquid mercury or silver. Although, effective as a filling, these procedures were far from natural looking, and in some instances have been known to present a health problem to the tooth. Nowadays, fillings are the color of the tooth which not only presents the natural look, but offers other advantages as well. Tooth-colored fillings are completely free of metal and are every bit as strong as their metal cousins. They also reduce sensitivity to extreme temperatures such as hot or cold foods and drinks. They restore strength to a tooth that suffered structural damage. In addition, they help prevent further tooth damage. Tooth-colored fillings are compatible also with dental sealants.
Composite resin fillings take a little bit longer to do than the metal variety but are much better in the long run. In general, the tooth-colored filling will last seven to ten years. A competent dentist can perform this aesthetically pleasing procedure for you and have you back smiling naturally in no time. The Crestwood Dental Group will perform this procedure for you, offering full private practice services in cosmetic, general and restorative dentistry. They offer tooth whitening, veneers and lumineers, composite bonding, complete smile makeovers, diagnostic wax ups and of course tooth-colored fillings.
