You have always been so conscientious about caring for your teeth. Every morning and every night, you brush and floss. Dental checkups with
Dr. Arthur Schramm at Schramm Dentistry in
Charlotte, NC, are scheduled like clockwork. And now, despite all of your hygiene care and our professional dentistry, you have a cavity. Fortunately, modern dental manufacturing has developed a way to fill that cavity quickly and invisibly.
Tooth-colored fillings repair tooth decay while maintaining your white smile.
Traditionally, cavities have been filled with an amalgam of metals. And while strong, these fillings have drawbacks. First, and most obviously is the dark spot in your smile. For some patients who have a sensitivity to metal, amalgam fillings are annoying and uncomfortable. Finally, there is concern in some circles about the possibility of mercury toxicity with amalgam fillings. And while there is no reliable research that draws a link between the two,
tooth-colored fillings eliminate the concern entirely.
Tooth-colored Fillings for You
A
tooth-colored filling is made of composite resin material. Dr. Schramm can blend several shades of this material to accurately match the color of your existing tooth. No one other than you and Dr. Schramm will ever know you’ve had a filling. In addition, the preparation required to fill a cavity with composite material is less than with a traditional filling. In other words, that drill will be in your mouth for a shorter time. In fact, a
tooth-colored filling allows Dr. Schramm to conserve more of your tooth’s natural structure, which always makes for a stronger tooth.
