Composite Dental Fillings
At OKC Smiles, we believe that your dental health and confidence go hand-in-hand. Our Oklahoma City dental team specializes in composite dental fillings—also known as tooth-colored fillings—to restore teeth affected by cavities, minor fractures, or damage, while preserving the natural beauty of your smile.
I recently had two fillings done by Dr. Fuller, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the care I received. As a dental hygienist myself at another practice, I have a high standard for clinical precision and patient experience, and Dr. Fuller exceeded my expectations.
What Are Dental Fillings?
Dental fillings are a restorative treatment used to repair teeth that have been compromised by decay, cracks, or minor trauma. The process involves removing the damaged or decayed portion of the tooth and filling the area with a durable material to restore strength and function.
Why Choose Composite Dental Fillings?
Composite fillings are made from a blend of high-quality resin and fine glass particles, allowing them to closely match the color and translucency of your natural teeth. This makes them an ideal choice for both front and back teeth, blending seamlessly with your smile.
Benefits of Tooth-Colored Fillings
- Aesthetics: Composite fillings are virtually invisible, blending perfectly with your natural tooth color for a beautiful, confident smile.
- Preservation of Tooth Structure: These fillings require less removal of healthy tooth material compared to traditional metal (amalgam) fillings, helping to maintain the strength and integrity of your tooth.
- Strong Bonding: Composite materials bond directly to your tooth, providing extra support and reducing the risk of future fractures or decay.
- Versatile and Durable: Composite fillings can repair cavities, chips, and gaps, and with proper care, they offer long-lasting results.
- No Metal, No Mercury: Avoid the metallic look and concerns about mercury exposure that come with amalgam fillings. Composite fillings are metal-free and safe for all ages.
Update because I’m in awe of how great of a service and practice they operate. I came in for a cleaning (appointment at 12 pm) and I unfortunately had a small filling needed. They adjusted their lunch period (Dr. Murray, Dom, and Nancy) so that I didn’t have to come back and was out the door BEFORE 1:15pm. I never thought I’d say this, but seriously the BEST experience for having a filling done—the numbing (which I was dreading) was performed so smoothly and timed well that I was able to go home and feel at ease. Their new office is modern and up to date with tech/equipment that nothing is unnecessarily obstructive. HIGHLY recommend!
