Don't Let Damaged Teeth Ruin Your Smile!

Tooth-Colored Fillings in Winter Springs, FL

If you get a cavity, we need to address it as quickly as possible at our Winter Springs dental office. Once a tooth starts to decay, things only get worse. Without treatment, you will likely face discomfort and the possibility of a more invasive procedure like a root canal to save the tooth.

At Advanced Dental Care in Winter Springs, FL, we strive to bring you the highest quality state-of-the-art treatment by staying current with all the latest technology and procedures. In the past, the health of your smile was the primary goal of dentistry. But today, we focus on esthetics as well and use updated materials like tooth-colored fillings to keep your teeth healthy while also enhancing the appearance of your smile.

Tooth-Colored Fillings Add Strength and Beauty

Teeth that are properly taken care of are resilient and highly functional. When considering materials to use to restore teeth, the one that most closely mimics the strength and durability of natural teeth will be the best option. Tooth-colored fillings in Winter Springs are a composite of glass and resin particles that provide a natural, translucent appearance that mimics natural tooth enamel. Our patients also love the fact that the material can be customized to match the shade of your natural teeth for a seamless repair. The result is restorations that are virtually invisible, an important consideration for teeth that show when you smile.

This material looks so natural that we can use it for cosmetic dental bonding. This is a procedure where Dr. Young uses the composite material to build up chipped or broken teeth, correct uneven spacing between teeth, or completely alter the shape of a tooth to improve its appearance.

Preserving Healthy Tooth Structure

Tooth loss leads to a host of other oral health problems like gum recession and bone loss, so our goal is to protect your healthy tooth structure for as long as possible.

Composites are an excellent solution because to place them, we only need to remove the decayed portion of the tooth. The material is then bonded directly to the surface of your tooth and set with a curing light. With excellent oral hygiene and routine exams and cleanings, your composite filling can last ten years or more.

Please Call to Arrange a Convenient Appointment

If you would like to learn more about the benefits of using tooth-colored fillings, please call our Winter Springs, FL dental office to arrange an appointment at your convenience. During your appointment, Dr. Young will examine your teeth, identify the problem, and help you decide if tooth-colored fillings are the best choice for your needs. If you live in the communities of Winter Springs, Winter Park, Oviedo, Tuscawilla, and Casselberry, we are always accepting new patients!

Frequently Asked Questions

Question 1: I've been told I have a cavity, but my tooth doesn't hurt. Why is that?

When a cavity starts, it is very small, and you won’t feel any pain. Even as it grows and spreads, you may or may not feel sensitivity or discomfort in the tooth.That being said, every person has a different threshold for pain. Generally, once a tooth gets to the point where it really hurts, the decay has grown and penetrated the tooth and is close to the nerve. At this stage, the only solution for saving the tooth may be a root canal.It is always best to take care of a cavity when it is small. Your preventive semi-annual checkups are crucial because Dr. Young can detect small problems and address them long before they result in discomfort and complicated or costly treatment.If it has been a while since your last dental checkup, please call your team at Advanced Dental Care. Please don’t worry that we will lecture or shame you if you have gotten a little too relaxed with your oral health care. Whatever problem you are facing, we are here to help you resolve it so you can get on with your life and enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing you have a healthy smile.

Question 2: Can tooth-colored fillings be used for large cavities?

Yes, tooth-colored fillings can be used for large cavities, but their effectiveness depends on the extent of the damage and the location of the cavity. Made from composite resin, tooth-colored fillings blend seamlessly with natural teeth and are an excellent option for restoring teeth affected by decay.However, for larger cavities, your dentist near me in Winter Springs, FL, will assess your smile to determine if this material is the best choice for your specific case.When Are Tooth-Colored Fillings Suitable for Large Cavities?Tooth-colored fillings are ideal for treating cavities in visible areas of your smile because they match your natural tooth shade. These fillings can still be effective for large cavities in the following situations: Strong Tooth Structure — Composite fillings work well when enough healthy tooth structure is left to support them.Proper Bonding — The composite resin bonds directly to the tooth, providing additional strength and stability, which is crucial for larger restorations.Alternatives for Very Large CavitiesIf the cavity is too large or the tooth is weakened, your dentist in Winter Springs, FL, may recommend alternative treatments like inlays, onlays, or dental crowns to provide better protection and longevity.To find out if tooth-colored fillings are right for your situation, contact Advanced Dental Care today. We’ll evaluate your dental needs and provide the best solution to restore your smile.
