Tooth-Colored Fillings in Bethany, OK

A Modern Approach to Cavity Repair

Tooth-colored fillings are the preferred choice for restoring teeth after decay, small fractures, or enamel wear. Unlike traditional silver (amalgam) fillings, composite fillings are:

• Matched to the shade of your natural teeth
  
• Mercury-free and metal-free
  
• Bonded directly to the tooth for added strength
  
• Suitable for both front and back teeth
  

They’re strong, safe, and ideal for patients who want both function and aesthetics in one simple procedure.

When Are Fillings Needed?

You may need a filling if you have:

• A cavity or early decay
  
• A chipped or cracked tooth
  
• An old silver filling that’s breaking down
  
• Tooth sensitivity from enamel loss
  
• Minor cosmetic damage
  

We often discover these issues during routine dental exams and cleanings, which is why preventive visits are so important.

What to Expect When Getting a Filling

The process for getting a composite filling is quick and comfortable:

1. Numbing (if needed) — We numb the area for a pain-free experience.
   
2. Decay Removal — The damaged portion of the tooth is gently removed.
   
3. Filling Placement — The composite material is applied in layers and hardened with a special curing light.
   
4. Shaping & Polishing — The filling is smoothed and shaped for a perfect bite and natural appearance.
   

Most fillings can be completed in just one visit.

Should I Replace My Metal Fillings?

Many patients choose to replace old silver fillings with composite resin for:

• Improved aesthetics (no dark spots when you smile)
  
• Enhanced tooth preservation (composite bonds to enamel)
  
• Peace of mind with mercury-free materials
  

If you're considering upgrading old restorations, we’ll assess your current fillings and walk you through your options.
