Tooth-colored fillings are a durable and aesthetic option for restoring small areas of tooth decay and cavities. However, it may not be a suitable material for a molar that does the heavy load of chewing. Dr. Brett will discuss all restorative options with you if you have a tooth that is fractured or compromised by decay.
Tooth-colored composite resin is ideal for front teeth in the sight line of your smile that need repair because we can customize it to blend flawlessly with your tooth so it's not noticeable. It's also relatively durable, and we can use it for most smaller areas of decay.
When a Dental Filling Is Not Enough
If you have a severely broken, fractured, or decayed tooth, Dr. Brett might suggest a dental crown to strengthen it. A crown fits completely over the compromised tooth to cover it like a cap. We can make it from tooth-colored ceramic porcelain that is durable and complements the aesthetics of your smile.
Dr. Brett will always review your options with you before starting any type of treatment so you can make the best decisions about what's right for your smile.
