When it comes to your smile, even the smallest details make a big difference. At Springs Dental, we believe that restoring your teeth shouldn’t mean compromising your appearance. That’s why we offer tooth-colored fillings—a modern, natural-looking alternative to traditional metal restorations. Whether you’re replacing old metal fillings or treating a new cavity, our team provides seamless, durable results that blend beautifully with your natural teeth.
Why Replace Metal Fillings?
Metal fillings were once the standard for treating cavities, but advancements in dental materials have opened the door to more aesthetic and biocompatible options. Silver (amalgam) fillings can darken over time, making them noticeable when you smile or laugh. They can also expand and contract with temperature changes, sometimes leading to cracks or gaps in the tooth structure. Tooth-colored composite and porcelain fillings, on the other hand, provide a safer, stronger, and more natural-looking solution that protects your tooth while maintaining its beauty.
What Makes Tooth-Colored Fillings Different
Tooth-colored fillings are crafted from composite resin or porcelain—materials that can be precisely matched to your natural tooth shade. This allows the restoration to blend in flawlessly with surrounding teeth. Beyond aesthetics, these materials bond directly to the tooth, reinforcing its strength and reducing the risk of future damage. Composite fillings typically last between five and ten years, while porcelain fillings can last up to two decades with proper care. Both are durable, versatile, and designed to keep your smile looking as healthy as it feels.
Comfortable, Stress-Free Treatment
Many patients feel nervous about dental procedures, even something as routine as a filling. At Springs Dental, we prioritize your comfort with gentle, patient-focused care. For those who experience dental anxiety, we offer laughing gas sedation—a safe, mild form of relaxation that allows you to remain calm while we restore your smile. With sedation, the entire process becomes smoother and more comfortable, so you can focus on how great your teeth will look afterward instead of worrying about the procedure itself.
A Simple Upgrade with Big Benefits
Replacing old metal fillings is a simple way to enhance both the health and appearance of your smile. The process involves carefully removing the existing restoration, cleaning the area, and applying the tooth-colored material with precision. Once polished, the filling looks and feels completely natural. Many patients are amazed by how much more confident they feel after updating their restorations—it’s a subtle change that delivers a noticeable improvement.
