Questions for Your Lithia, FL Dentist
We are happy to answer questions about our services and procedures.
These are a selection of some common questions that patients have. If your question isn't answered here, please contact our office. It's important to us that our patients understand their dental care.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
Yes. Unlike amalgam fillings, tooth-colored fillings are a custom-mixed resin composite. The composite mixture is matched to your tooth color and bonded directly to the tooth. This usually results in a filling that is nearly indistinguishable from your natural tooth.
We are able to achieve a "seamless" look by:
- Custom Color Matching
- Layering Technique
- Chemical Bonding
- Sculpting & Polishing
Beyond their natural appearance, tooth-colored fillings offer several functional advantages. They are entirely metal-free and require less removal of your natural tooth structure than traditional options. Additionally, because the resin is more temperature-stable than metal, it won't expand or contract with hot and cold, which helps protect your tooth from future cracks.
