Tooth-colored fillings from your family dentists in Annapolis, MD, can improve your smile.
Do you have cavities in your smile? Tooth-colored fillings can repair your teeth in a discreet way. Dr. John Ruland and Dr. Michael Ruland of Ruland Family Dentistry in Annapolis, MD, offer a wide range of preventive, restorative, and cosmetic dental services, including tooth-colored fillings to improve your smile.
Tooth-colored fillings are made with a material known as composite. Composite starts out as a liquid, which can be shaped to fit the natural contours of your teeth. Then the composite is hardened with ultraviolet light, giving you a strong, beautiful filling that completely blends in with your smile.
Tooth-colored fillings offer some amazing benefits like these:
- A completely natural appearance, because composite can be matched to the color of your existing teeth, so it blends right in
- A strong restorative solution, because composite actually bonds with your tooth surface
- A completely metal-free filling, which makes it the perfect choice for people who are sensitive or allergic to metal
Tooth-colored fillings look beautiful, and they are also versatile and can repair the same issues as conventional metal fillings, including:
- Restoring decayed or damaged teeth
- Repairing chipped or cracked teeth
- Renewing eroded or worn down teeth
Older metal fillings tend to crumble around the edges or leak over time. Bacteria can get in, causing tooth decay. Tooth-colored fillings are different because they bond with your tooth, creating a strong, protective surface. The best part is, tooth-colored fillings enhance the beauty of your smile too!
