A healthy smile should look as good as it feels, and modern dentistry makes that possible with white fillings. At The Addison Dentist, Dr. Steven Lee, Dr. Julio Obando, and Dr. William Shattuck use advanced tooth-colored materials to restore cavities and replace old metal fillings. Unlike the silver fillings of the past, today’s white fillings are durable, discreet, and designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
Why White Fillings Are Different
White fillings, also known as tooth-colored fillings, are made from composite resin or ceramic materials designed to mimic the look and feel of natural enamel. This makes them not only more attractive but also highly effective in restoring tooth structure. By bonding directly to the tooth, these fillings provide strength and durability while preventing further decay. Patients often appreciate that their restorations are virtually invisible, allowing them to smile and speak with confidence.
The Right Filling for Your Needs
Every smile is unique, and the right type of restoration depends on your specific needs. Smaller cavities and minor areas of decay can often be treated with direct fillings, which are completed in a single visit. For larger or more complex cases, indirect restorations may be recommended. These are custom-made to fit the tooth precisely, offering both strength and a flawless, natural appearance. Regardless of which option you need, the goal remains the same: restoring your oral health while keeping your smile looking its best.
Replacing Old Silver Fillings
Many patients come to us with older metal fillings that may no longer function well or match the rest of their smile. At The Addison Dentist, we can safely replace outdated silver amalgam with white fillings that are stronger, healthier, and far more attractive. This subtle change can make a dramatic improvement in the overall appearance of your teeth while also enhancing comfort and durability.
A Healthier, More Confident Smile
White fillings are about more than just appearances—they also support long-term dental health. Because they bond securely to the tooth, they reduce the risk of further decay and help maintain natural tooth structure. Patients leave with teeth that look healthy and feel strong, all while enjoying the reassurance that their restoration is virtually undetectable.
At The Addison Dentist, we believe every patient deserves a confident, natural-looking smile. Whether you need to treat a new cavity or replace an old filling, Dr. Lee, Dr. Obando, and Dr. Shattuck are here to provide expert care. Serving Addison and the surrounding community, we are committed to restoring health and beauty to your smile with subtle yet effective solutions.
