Tooth-Colored Fillings – Springfield, MO

Seamless, Natural-Looking Smile Repair

When you have a cavity, there’s only one way to treat it and prevent even more damage to your tooth – a filling. As a restorative dentist, Dr. Eric Tolliver understands the importance of treating tooth decay, but he also doesn’t want to broadcast the fact that you got dental work done. That was unavoidable with metal amalgam fillings, but tooth-colored fillings make it possible to heal your smile without anyone else noticing the results. To find out more about this type of seamless, natural-looking smile repair, contact our dental team at Galleria Dental of Springfield today!

Why Choose Galleria Dental of Springfield for Tooth-Colored Fillings?

What Are Tooth-Colored Fillings?

Tooth-colored fillings are the perfect blend of restorative and cosmetic dentistry. With this treatment, your dentist fills cavities with composite resin that has been matched to the exact shade of your tooth enamel. The putty-like consistency of this material makes it easy for your dentist to sculpt it onto your tooth, resulting in a more conservative treatment than traditional amalgam fillings. Tooth-colored fillings are also completely metal-free, allowing patients with allergies or sensitivities to metal to have their cavities safely filled.  

Benefits of Tooth-Colored Fillings

The Tooth-Colored Fillings Procedure

The process of getting a tooth-colored filling is simple. Before beginning the restorative dentistry procedure, your cosmetic dentist will administer a numbing agent to ensure you feel no discomfort or pain. Once you’re fully comfortable, Dr. Tolliver will start by clearing out any debris and removing the decayed portions of the tooth. When the tooth is thoroughly clean, we will fill the cavity with composite resin that has been carefully selected to blend in with your smile.

We’ll sculpt the resin into the ideal size and shape, and then harden the material into place with a curing light. After giving your tooth one last polish, you’ll be ready to enjoy your healthier, brighter smile!
