Contact UsWhat Are Tooth-Colored Fillings?
Dental cavities are a common problem that are created when bacteria attack your enamel. Previously, dental cavities were filled with an amalgam material, which is a mixture of different metals, like silver or mercury. We now know that amalgam fillings don't bond very well with the enamel, and mercury is dangerous to your general health. At Michael F. Alspaugh, DDS in Edmond, OK, our staff uses tooth-colored fillings made with a composite resin to fill and protect cavities. We can also remove old metal fillings and apply tooth-colored fillings for safer and better-looking treatment of cavities.
What to Expect from Tooth-Colored Fillings
Tooth-colored fillings at Michael F. Alspaugh, DDS are usually a simple treatment. Our dental experts will numb the area surrounding the cavity with a local anesthetic to help you feel more comfortable. Stronger forms of sedation may be considered for any fears or dental anxieties to help keep you relaxed. As soon as you are ready, the infected enamel is cleared away with a dental drill that our team will choose based on where the cavity is located in the tooth and the amount of decay. After the enamel is removed and the tooth is disinfected, the cavity will be filled with the composite material and set. Our staff will polish the filling so it matches your other teeth.
Tooth-Colored Fillings Reviews
Dr Alspaugh and his staff are wonderful! I have always had a fear of going to the dentist, but with gas I was very comfortable. I had a crown done and he made the crown in the office while I was there so I wouldn’t have to come back for a second visit. I am very impressed with his dental work! His dental equipment is also top notch nothing I have seen at my other dentist. He has also removed all the mercury fillings in my mouth.
I would highly recommend this place to anyone! Dr. Alspaugh is very trustworthy and thorough. He provides in depth explanations that are easy to understand. Dr. Alspaugh and his assistant make an amazing team in ensuring you are completely comfortable and aware of what is happening throughout your visit. Dr. Alspaugh has done my root canal, crown, and fillings, and my overall experience has been better here than anywhere else!
