Why Would You Need A Tooth Filling?
The main reason to get a tooth filling is to deal with a cavity that has developed. Cavities can happen for a variety of reasons: too much sugar in your diet, inaccurate brushing technique, and neglecting to floss, can all lead to tooth decay.
Besides a cavity, you might need a tooth filling because of a small chip or crack in your tooth due to some sort of trauma. Whatever the reason for needing to get a tooth filled it is best to go to an experienced dentist as soon as possible before the issue gets bigger and harder to deal with.
Types of Dental Fillings
There are many different materials that could be used for a tooth filling. In days past it was common to use silver or amalgam for dental fillings creating those dark gray fillings typically in the back of a person’s mouth on their molars. Gold fillings are also possible but because of cost are far less common.
These days, most expert dental care professionals recommend the use of tooth-colored fillings made of porcelain or resin. Here at Making You Smile Cosmetic Dental Studio, your best choice for local dentists in New York, we are pleased to offer these types of tooth filling options to our patients.
Why Use Porcelain or Resin Tooth Fillings?
Unlike silver or amalgam fillings, resin or porcelain dental fillings are naturally colored and designed to blend seamlessly with your tooth. This is especially nice when you need a front tooth filling. Not only do these modern materials allow patients to have white tooth fillings, they are stronger and bond better to your teeth than older material choices, making them last longer.
If you currently have silver fillings that you would like to replace with white tooth fillings contact our office about our tooth filling replacement services near you.
Not only are we able to offer white tooth filling at Making You Smile we also offer dental contouring services. Teeth reshaping can drastically alter the shape of your teeth and, for patients with missing teeth, dental implants in NYC provide a long-lasting solution to restore both function and appearance.
