FILLINGS: Fillings will be placed when small cavities are detected. Our office places only white, mercury-free fillings. This material is called composite resin and it chemically bonds to your tooth for a very esthetic result. Sometimes following a filling, it is common to experience some cold sensitivity. We use a desensitizing agent when we place fillings, but slight sensitivity can unfortunately still occur. This is normal and temporary as your tooth is “recovering from surgery”.
White Fillings
Gone are the days when ugly, obvious amalgam fillings were the only solution to cavities. Today, our office---which is entirely mercury free---offers white or resin fillings. All are durable, comfortable and long-lasting.
