Dental fillings have been used to restore strength and health to teeth for centuries. Typically reserved for patients whose teeth have experienced minimal amounts of decay, they are commonly used to fix minor imperfections such as small cavities and cracks. Silver or amalgam materials have traditionally been the tooth fillings of choice, but advancements in modern dentistry has allowed patients to receive resin based composite dental fillings that mimic the texture and color of actual teeth – offering a more naturally balanced and healthy looking smile.
Composite fillings are strong enough to provide patients with years of function and durability. Many patients elect to replace their old gray restorations with new tooth colored, metal-free dental fillings. Dr. Petkevis uses only the most advanced materials for composite fillings, and they are available in a wide range of colors and shades to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
Dental fillings are a standard dental procedure, and are most often completed in a single visit. After carefully removing the decayed portion of your tooth, Dr. Petkevis will sculpt the composite dental filling into a natural shape and bond it into place. The result is a durable, attractive restoration that will protect your tooth from future decay.
You deserve to feel confident with a clean, healthy, and natural smile. To schedule an appointment, contact the office of Dr. Petkevis today.
