Boise, ID Tooth Colored Fillings

Tooth colored fillings, also called cosmetic or composite fillings, can help restore your damaged teeth and provide cosmetic beauty. Placed by your Boise, ID family dentist, this type of filling is an excellent choice for repairing a tooth. Teeth that are chipped, cracked, decayed, damaged, stained, or discolored can all benefit from a cosmetic filling. 

Cosmetic fillings can also replace bulky, unsightly metal fillings. Large metal fillings can actually weaken a tooth, structurally cutting the tooth in half. When you bite on a large metal filling, there is a good chance the filling can fracture, taking part of your precious tooth structure with it. Cosmetic tooth colored fillings can strengthen damaged teeth, because the material used actually bonds your tooth structure together.

Treatment Using Composite Fillings

The first step in your treatment is for your family dentist to remove all traces of decay and old filling material, creating a clean, disease-free area. Next, your family dentist will apply an etching material to create tiny holes in the surface of your tooth to retain the filling material. The etching material is rinsed off, and a bonding agent is applied. This allows the filling material to adhere to your tooth.

The next step is where the artistry begins. Tooth colored fillings are created from composite, a liquid resin material which can be shaped and molded while still in liquid form. Your dentist at Bird Family Dental will apply the composite and mold and shape it to provide a natural-looking filling. The composite material is hardened using a high-tech ultraviolet “curing” light. As a final step, your dentist will shape and polish the composite filling to perfection.

Advantages Of Cosmetic Tooth Colored Fillings Over Metal Fillings

Cosmetic fillings are:

  • More beautiful, because they look just like your natural teeth

  • More natural, because they can be color-matched perfectly to your existing teeth

  • More protective, because they can bond your damaged tooth together

Tooth colored fillings are virtually invisible to you and those around you. When you smile, people will notice your beautiful teeth, not ugly metal fillings. Cosmetic fillings require a certain amount of artistry, so if you need a skilled family dentist to sculpt your cosmetic tooth colored fillings to perfection, schedule an appointment with us!
