For our patients battling the pain and discomfort of cavities, Serene Dental Center offers white, tooth colored fillings in Irvine to return that smile to your face.
A composite dental filling is a tooth colored resin material. After tooth decay is removed and cleaned, this tooth colored material is layered into the tooth. Each layer is hardened or cured with highly intense visible light, and the final surface is shaped and polished to match the tooth. Read on to learn why white fillings should be the standard in family dentistry practices.
Composite fillings are more than just attractive. They are environmentally non-toxic because they use no mercury. They are stronger because they bond directly to the surface of the tooth. They protect the tooth from fracturing because they don’t require the severe “undercut” (removal of healthy tooth structure) of a mercury filling.
On Average, white fillings last 2 to 5 years. With Brushing, flossing, and regular hygiene appointments, they can last longer.
Inlays/onlays are sometimes good alternatives to composite fillings, offering excellent long term durability. In cases of extensive decay, inlays/onlays or crowns are the only alternative.
