Why Our Doctors Recommend Tooth-Colored Fillings

The Advantages of Tooth-Colored Fillings With Southland Children’s Dentistry

Our doctors recommend porcelain tooth-colored fillings because they result in a stronger tooth and higher aesthetic value. Resin on-lays are bonded to the tooth, creating an extremely tight fit superior to silver fillings. We always want to save as much of the tooth as possible. Restorations using resin can be used in situations when most of the original tooth has been lost. This allows the tooth to stay intact.

Also, the resin used in tooth-colored restorations contains fluoride, which helps to fight off decay. The resin wears like a natural tooth and does not require placement at the gum line. This results in a wonderful, natural-looking smile.

If you have any questions about tooth-colored resin fillings for your child, please give us a call or email us.
