Cosmetic Fillings
Cosmetic Fillings
CITIDental Rancho
provides cosmetic fillings. Your smile is valuable, which is why cosmetic fillings enhance the appearance of your smile, while also serving preventive purposes. Cosmetic fillings are convenient and usually only taking about 30 minutes to apply. In addition to convenience, there are many other benefits of cosmetic fillings.
The Benefits of Cosmetic Fillings
Cosmetic fillings are carefully matched to blend with the shades of your natural teeth. This makes them the ideal choice for aesthetically. Composite fillings are preferable over silver or amalgam fillings because they are less ostentatious, and they are made of resin or plastic instead of metal alloy (which contains some level of mercury). Unlike silver-colored fillings, composite fillings look just like your natural teeth making it nearly impossible to tell the difference. In addition to aesthetics, cosmetic fillings are also more stable. They can be easily repaired, require less drilling and are unaffected by changes of temperature.
Cosmetic fillings can also benefit your overall oral health by retaining a healthy tooth structure, limiting dental trauma, preventing cavities and tooth decay and preventing further damage to the mouth, including tooth loss. Cosmetic fillings is a non-complex, fast procedure, which makes it more cost effective. The procedure itself is short in duration with minimal discomfort.
Areas of Cosmetic Fillings
Cosmetic Fillings can be applied to the chewing surface, biting edge of front tooth, top cusps of back teeth, and the sides of teeth.
Your CITIDental Rancho Cosmetic Filling
During your initial consultation, we will go over important information and answer any questions you may have. We will also go over your family history and goals in order to find the most effective form of cosmetic filling. In most cases, we will numb the area with anesthetic. Following the anesthetic will be tooth decay removal, which allows us to remove damaged areas of the tooth structure. Filling placement follows the cleaning process, followed by shaping and
polishing.
The Cost of Cosmetic Fillings
The cost of cosmetic fillings varies from person to person. We will discuss the cost during your first visit. We are upfront with our patients and recognize that every case is unique.
