Replacing Fillings
Over time, old fillings can break, crack, become aesthetically unpleasing and otherwise deteriorate causing damage to your teeth.
The process for replacing fillings takes place in two steps—first, we will carefully remove all existing filling material from your teeth and clean your teeth to accommodate your new fillings. Once this is complete, we will refill the area with an appropriate, durable dental restorative material.
Depending on the number of fillings that may need replacement, you may require one or several visits.
Tooth Colored Filling Material
In the right circumstances, we can use tooth-colored filling materials that are specially formulated dental composite designed to look and function like natural tooth structure. When applied, this material is a soft, putty-like consistency, allowing us to precisely fill in the area creating a natural-looking shape to your filling.
Once we have shaped the filling material, we will apply a specially calibrated light to harden and cure the newly repaired tooth. Finally, we will make any necessary adjustments to the size and shape of your tooth, and then polish the completed filling to create a smooth new surface.
