Tooth-Colored (White) Filling at Shen Dental in Vancouver

Tooth-colored fillings, also known as composite fillings, are a popular option for treating cavities. These fillings are made from a blend of resins and glass, offering a natural look that blends seamlessly with your existing teeth. Unlike traditional silver fillings, they provide a more aesthetic solution for those concerned with maintaining a beautiful, natural smile.

What to Expect During Your Visit

  • Polishing: The filling is polished to blend seamlessly with your natural tooth, leaving it smooth and aesthetically pleasing.
  • Minimal Recovery: The procedure is quick with minimal recovery time, allowing you to resume normal activities soon after.

Tooth-Colored (White) Fillings FAQs

Q: Are tooth-colored fillings as durable as silver fillings?

Yes, tooth-colored fillings are highly durable and can last many years with proper care. While silver fillings are often stronger in large cavities, tooth-colored fillings are an excellent option for small to medium-sized cavities and offer a more aesthetic result.

Q: Will a tooth-colored filling be noticeable?

No, tooth-colored fillings are designed to blend seamlessly with the natural color of your teeth, making them virtually invisible. They are an ideal choice for fillings in visible areas, such as the front teeth.

Q: How do I take care of my tooth-colored filling?

Taking care of your tooth-colored filling is easy. Practice good oral hygiene by brushing twice a day and flossing regularly. Avoid biting down on hard objects to prevent damage, and visit Shen Dental for regular check-ups to ensure your fillings stay in top condition.
