Contact UsWhat Is A Tooth-Colored Filling?
Cavities, one of the most common dental problems, are created when bacteria eat away at your dental enamel. Previously, dental cavities were treated with a material called amalgam, which is a mixture of metals, such as mercury or silver. We now know that amalgam fillings don't adhere very well to the enamel and mercury may be hazardous to your overall health. At Dali Dental, Dr. Dao Pham offers tooth-colored fillings in Plano, TX that are made with a composite resin to fill and protect cavities. Dr. Pham can also remove metal fillings and apply composite resin fillings for a safer and better-looking treatment for cavities. Contact our office to schedule an appointment today.
What Can I Expect When Getting Dental Fillings?
Getting a filling at Dali Dental is generally an easy procedure. The treatment area will be numbed to minimize your discomfort. If you have dental anxieties or fears, other forms of sedation can be discussed to help keep you relaxed. After you are ready, the infected enamel is removed using a special drill that Dr. Pham will select based on where the cavity is located in the tooth and the amount of decay that is present. After the enamel is removed and the tooth is disinfected, the area will be filled with the composite resin material and set with a special light. Dr. Pham will smooth the filling so it feels comfortable and matches your other teeth.

About UsTooth-Colored Fillings FAQs
How do tooth-colored fillings differ from traditional fillings?
Tooth-colored fillings are made from a composite resin designed to look and feel like your natural teeth. Unlike the obvious silver appearance of traditional fillings, tooth-colored fillings are color-matched to your natural teeth, so they are practically invisible when you talk or smile.
Are tooth-colored fillings as durable as traditional metal fillings?
Although traditional metal fillings are known for their strength and durability, tooth-colored fillings have become more reliable due to advancements in dental materials and technology. Composite fillings tend to bond better to the enamel, allowing them to last longer than traditional silver amalgam fillings.
How long do tooth-colored fillings last?
With proper care, a tooth-colored filling can last around 12 years. Maintaining a good oral care routine that includes brushing twice daily, flossing regularly, and attending routine dental cleanings and exams can help ensure the longevity of your filling.
