Natural Looking Fillings for Front Teeth | Milpitas, CA

If you’re suffering from cavities, your dentist may recommend that you get tooth colored fillings to restore the tooth's size, shape, and even shade. Tooth-colored fillings are designed not only to repair decayed or damaged teeth but also to help you enhance your smile and restore your confidence. As such, they are particularly suitable for repairing front teeth and can help treat cavities or decay affecting your lower and upper front teeth. 

Steps for getting tooth-colored fillings 

Step 1: Consultation appointment

Suppose you think that you’re a suitable candidate for tooth-colored fillings because of a chipped, cracked, fractured, or decayed tooth. In that case, your first step should be visiting a dentist for a proper diagnosis and design of your custom treatment plan. The dentist will examine the issue with your teeth and recommend the appropriate dental procedure. If a tooth colored filling is correct for you, the dentist will use the latest techniques and state-of-the-art dental equipment to repair the tooth.

Step 2: Local anesthetic application 

The tooth filling will be completed during your next visit in a single appointment. The dentist will begin by administering a local anesthetic to ensure your comfort and minimize any potential pain during the procedure.

Step 3: Cleaning the tooth

Next, the dentist will remove any cavities, bacteria, plaque, and all signs of tooth decay, sterilize the tooth and the surrounding areas, and apply a bonding agent.

Step 4: Choosing the right shade of tooth-colored material

The dentist will select a shade of tooth-colored filling matching your teeth’s natural color and carefully place it on the tooth structure. 

Step 5: Filling and fine-tuning

The dentist will use a special curing light to harden the material between the tooth layers. After filling the cavities, the dentist will smooth and polish the tooth-colored filling to achieve a flawless outcome. You can start chewing with your fillings immediately after the procedure is completed.
