White Fillings in Foothill Ranch
Why are Fillings Needed?
Cavities are little holes or openings in the hard surface of the teeth that cause permanent damage to the overall health of the tooth and can decay further if not treated. Cavities, also known as tooth decay, are brought on by a variety of reasons. Some common causes are oral bacteria, frequent eating, consuming sugary beverages, and inadequate dental hygiene.
Fillings are used to stop future decay or damage to your teeth since they are unable to repair themselves after being damaged or contaminated. Dentists cure cavities by first removing the decayed portion of the tooth and then filling the space with a sturdy substance that will resemble the tooth's hardness. Here at Sharifi Cosmetic & Family Dentistry,
White Fillings
When decay is addressed, Dr. Sharifi uses white fillings in order to preserve your smile and ensure that the natural look of teeth is not impacted. White fillings match the natural color and appearance of teeth. The material is placed on the missing area of the decayed tooth and hardened. These types of fillings are very popular as it does not take away from your natural smile the same way that metal fillings do.
Why should I get White Fillings?
- Lower Sensitivity- Metal transfers heat and the cold much more quickly than white fillings. For this reason, there is less unpleasant tooth sensitivity when eating and drinking after white fillings have been placed.
- Natural Results- Metal fillings contrast the teeth very starkly. White fillings blend in very well with the natural tooth.
