Composite (Tooth-Colored) Dental Fillings

Composite tooth-colored dental fillings in Flower Mound, Texas, offer a seamless and natural-looking solution for treating cavities. Our team is excited to provide these advanced fillings, ensuring your child’s dental health while keeping their smile beautiful.

What Are Composite Tooth-Colored Fillings?

Composite fillings are made from a blend of high-quality resins that closely match the color of natural teeth. These fillings are used to repair teeth that have been affected by decay, fractures or other damage, providing a durable and aesthetically pleasing restoration.

Why Choose Composite Fillings for Your Child?

Composite tooth-colored fillings offer numerous advantages:

• Aesthetic Appeal: They blend seamlessly with natural teeth, making them virtually invisible.
• Durability: Composite materials are strong and can withstand the daily wear and tear of chewing.
• Bonding Strength: They bond directly to the tooth structure, providing additional support and reducing the risk of further decay.
• Less Invasive: Less tooth structure needs to be removed compared to traditional amalgam fillings, preserving more of the natural tooth. 

The Composite Filling Process 

1. Assessment and Preparation: Dr. Chelsea Wehr will examine your child’s tooth and remove any decayed or damaged areas.
2. Application: The composite resin is applied in layers, with each layer being carefully shaped and cured with a special light.
3. Finishing Touches: Once the filling is fully hardened, our dentist will shape and polish it to match the natural contours of the tooth, ensuring a comfortable bite. 

Tips for Maintaining Composite Fillings

• Good Oral Hygiene: Encourage regular brushing and flossing to keep the fillings and surrounding teeth healthy.
• Healthy Eating Habits: Limit sugary snacks and drinks that can lead to further decay.
• Regular Dental Checkups: Routine visits to Pediatric Dentistry of Flower Mound will ensure the fillings remain in good condition and allow for early detection of any potential issues.
