Tooth-Colored Fillings in Katy, TX

Benefits of Tooth-Colored Fillings from Your Katy, TX Dentist

• Tooth-colored fillings make the tooth stronger rather than weakening it.
• These dental fillings contain no mercury.
• These tooth fillings are virtually undetectable due to their natural appearance.
• Metal fillings can cause the tooth to become discolored over time; these do not.

Dental Fillings Procedure

Your Katy, TX dentist will start by numbing the area with local anesthetic. He or she will then clean the tooth and remove the tooth decay. The filling starts with a bonding solution that will help the resin adhere to the teeth before the resin is finally applied.

You should be able to eat and drink normally after the procedure, although you should wait until the anesthetic has worn off and you can feel your mouth again. You may feel discomfort for a few days as your mouth adjusts to the feeling of the dental filling, but this will go away within the first week.

Whether you need a new dental filling or would like to replace your metal ones with tooth-colored fillings, our Katy, TX office is here to help. Call us today to schedule an appointment!
