About The Fort Lauderdale Tooth-Colored Fillings

What Are Fillings And Why Are They Necessary?

Cavities are one of the most common dental problems. A cavity is essentially the breakdown of tissue in and around a tooth. They are caused by tooth decay, which in turn is caused by dental plaque.

You may not realize you have a cavity until your dentist discovers it during a routine examination. That is one of the reasons the American Dental Association and us at Dr. Dory’s Dental Boutique & Spa recommend seeing your dentist every 6 months for a check-up and cleaning.

To treat most cavities, dentists use special tools to remove the decayed tissue before filling the empty tooth space with different substances. In the past, a material called amalgam, which is a mixture of several metals such as copper, silver, or mercury was used. Now, we know that the mercury in amalgam fillings is toxic and could pose serious health risks.

Another downside to metal amalgam fillings is that they are susceptible to temperature changes, which can cause them to expand and contract. When this happens, the filling can fall out and even crack your teeth.

How The Fort Lauderdale Tooth-Colored Fillings Works

A Better Alternative To Metal Fillings

Cosmetic dentists have spent years working hard to find a safer alternative that delivers the same benefits as metal fillings. Today, porcelain and white composite fillings have become the standard for durable, effective, and attractive fillings. These new fillings can be matched to the color of your natural teeth, which means they will be virtually undetectable to the human eye.

Dental Cleaning And Exams

Gone are the days of ugly silver fillings that stuck out like a sore thumb anytime you opened your mouth. At  Dr. Dory’s Dental Boutique & Spa, we only use BPA and mercury-free tooth-colored fillings that don’t contain harmful materials and are strong, durable, and aesthetically pleasing.

White Composite Filling

White composite fillings are ideal for small to medium-sized cavities located in areas of the mouth that endure moderate chewing pressure while you eat. These fillings are made of a composite resin that can be color-matched to your natural tooth. Some of the benefits of white composite fillings include:

  • Unlike metal amalgams, composite fillings bond to your teeth, which helps restore their original strength.
  • White fillings are less likely to affect your teeth’s sensitivity to temperatures
  • Don’t contain harmful metals, so they are compatible with your healthy lifestyle
  • Fit better and are smaller in size
  • Ideal for a wide range of ages and conditions

Porcelain Fillings

If you have large cavities or a cavity in an area that requires heavy chewing pressure, you are likely to benefit from porcelain filling. Porcelain fillings can also be color-matched and can even be made to match the luster of your tooth enamel, making them impossible to differentiate from your natural teeth.

While we tend to associate porcelain with fragility, these fillings are incredibly strong. In fact, porcelain fillings are stronger than your own tooth enamel, which is saying a lot since enamel is the hardest substance in the human body. Porcelain fillings have been shown to significantly prolong the life of teeth, even when compared to metal fillings.

In addition to being more functional and aesthetically pleasing than metal amalgams, porcelain fillings don’t:

  • Stain
  • Become loose
  • Fall out
  • Affect the structure of the tooth

Frequently Asked Questions

Am I A Candidate For Tooth-Colored Fillings?

The best way to find out if you are a candidate for tooth-colored fillings is to schedule a complimentary consultation at our upscale dental and medical boutique. During this appointment, we will discuss your oral health, and once you are ready to move forward, we will take:

  • Full-mouth X-rays
  • Intra-oral images
  • Extra-oral images

Once your dentist reviews this information, they will present you with a personalized treatment plan, complete with recommendations for treatments based on your unique situation. If you have metal fillings, your dentist will also discuss better alternatives such as white composite or porcelain fillings.
