Tooth-Colored Fillings in San Ramon, CA
What Are Tooth-Colored Fillings?
Cavities, one of the most common dental problems, are created when bacteria erode your enamel. In the past, cavities were treated with an amalgam material, a mixture of different metals, such as silver or mercury. We now know these fillings do not adhere very well with the teeth, and the mercury can be hazardous to your overall health. At San Ramon Family Dental in San Ramon, CA, Dr. Rupam Khanna offers tooth-colored fillings made from a composite resin to fill and protect cavities. Dr. Khanna can also replace old metal fillings with composite resin fillings for a more reliable and attractive treatment of cavities.
How Are Tooth-Colored Fillings Performed?
Receiving a filling at San Ramon Family Dental is typically a simple process. The area surrounding the cavity will be numbed with a local anesthetic to help you feel more comfortable. Other forms of sedation can be considered for any anxieties or fears to help keep you relaxed. Once you are prepared, the infected enamel can be treated with a dental drill that Dr. Khanna will select based on where the cavity is located and the amount of decay. Once the enamel is treated and the tooth is cleaned, the cavity will be filled with the composite resin and set with a special light. Dr. Khanna will polish the filling so it feels comfortable and matches your natural teeth.
