Tooth-Colored Fillings

Tooth-Colored Fillings in St. Louis

Cavities develop for many reasons, whether it's because of bad oral hygiene, a natural lack of saliva, or a family history of cavities, but the outcome generally remains the same: you'll need to get a filling. Fortunately, tooth-colored fillings in St. Louis mimic the color of your natural teeth and ensure that the appearance of your smile stays perfect.

Martin Dental & Associates is continually looking for new ways to treat your smile without altering its appearance. Tooth-colored fillings keep your smile flawless but provide the care you need to maintain your oral health.

What are Tooth-Colored Fillings Made Of?

Unlike traditional gold or silver fillings, tooth-colored fillings can be colored to match the natural look of your teeth. Typically, they are used to fill small or mid-sized cavities.

Tooth-colored fillings in St. Louis are the primary choice of Dr. John Martin and his patients due to their durability and natural look and feel. While tooth-colored fillings often cost more than gold or silver fillings, most patients find that the seamless look they provide is more than worth it.

Like all fillings, tooth-colored fillings eventually have to be replaced. However, on average, tooth-colored fillings in St. Louis last for five to seven years if they are taken care of with regular brushing, flossing, and dental cleanings.

Advantages of Tooth-Colored Fillings

There are many advantages to tooth-colored fillings. Tooth-colored fillings provide a tight and streamlined fit and easily blend in with the look of your natural teeth, ensuring that you won't have to worry about whether other people notice your fillings.

Tooth-colored fillings are beneficial to more than just your appearance. Resin and composite materials, which are often used to create tooth-colored fillings in St. Louis, contain fluoride which strengthens the enamel on your teeth and prevents decay. Not to mention, unlike metal fillings, tooth-colored fillings allow for as much of your natural tooth to be preserved as possible.
