Twin Falls Dental Fillings
Tooth Colored Fillings
In the past, cavities could only be treated with unsightly metal fillings that are alloys for silver and mercury. These fillings, especially when close to the front of the mouth, are highly noticeable and unaesthetic. Sometimes, the filling is so large that it causes discoloration of the entire tooth. These fillings (or restorations) often weaken teeth due to the large amount of the original tooth that has to be removed. Also there is a risk of Mercury poisoning that is used in the filling.
With advances in dental materials, we can now restore teeth damaged by tooth decay without compromising your white smile. Silver Creek Dental can use tooth-colored composite resin for dental fillings. We will tint the resin to blend with your tooth, so only you and your dentist will know that you’ve had a cavity filled.
The procedure involves removal of decay, conservative tooth preparation, and filling the cavity with composite resin. We will use a curing light to harden the resin, then sculpt it so that the fillings look natural and fit well with your bite.
If you feel you may have cavities or are not happy with the look of your older fillings, call to schedule your appointment with Dr. Chandler. Our Twin Falls office serves patients from Twin Falls, Jerome, Wendell, and beyond with the highest quality dental care.
We are located on East Main St, 1 block west of Tiger Dr. Come see us!
