Almost everyone has had a cavity or two sometime, and when it’s filled, you want it to look the best it can. If you have a cavity, broken tooth, or a deteriorated filling, tooth-colored fillings may be a great option for you. Tooth-colored fillings (composites) are made from durable plastics that are similar in color to natural teeth. Because the composite fillings are tooth-colored, they look natural and are less noticeable compared to other types of fillings.

At our Cameron Park dentist office we understand your need for all the information on tooth colored fillings and our fee structures for them before we talk treatment. We strive to answer all your questions on fillings and keep our dental fees within your budget. We make sure you completely understand what having tooth-colored fillings would mean for you, how they’ll hold up through the years, and fit your budget.

Care of composites is easy, since they are cured (hardened) with light at your dentist’s office in seconds. You may return to normal activities and your standard oral care immediately

One of the many benefit of tooth-colored fillings is that they are compatible with sealants, allowing your dentist to perform both procedures in a single sitting preventing further decay. There are other advantages to composite, tooth-colored fillings, such as the important capability of bonding to your tooth structure. Also, in many cases they can be repaired by a simple addition of more composite material.
