Are metal fillings an option?
At Smiles by Sands, we do not offer our patients metal fillings. While some dentists still offer this solution to dental repair, we feel white composite fillings are the healthier and more prudent choice for our patients.
Why are white composite fillings the better choice?
White composite fillings are the better choice for the following reasons:
- The composite is a mixture of glass or quartz and resin, for a more durable and functional filling.
- The composite substance bonds naturally to the original tooth, which means less drilling and the ability to salvage more of the real tooth for added stability.
- The mixture is tinted to the coloration for each individual patient, so the filling has the same cosmetic translucency of the original tooth.
- Cosmetically, the tooth restoration looks so natural, only you will know the difference.
During the initial evaluation, patients can visit our White Composite Fillings Smile Gallery to see the amazing affect of white composite fillings in maintaining a beautiful smile.
Do I need white composite fillings?
Maintaining good dental health is important for everyone who wants teeth that remain functional and brighten a smile for a lifetime. Visiting Dr. Jamie Sands or Dr. Jason Sands for regularly scheduled appointments ensures good dental health, and prevents other health related issues due to poor dental hygiene.
During your first free white composite fillings consultation, your overall dental health will be evaluated and a recommendation will be made as to whether white composite fillings are needed to stop tooth decay in its tracks.
Are composite fillings affordable?
If financial issues are a concern, we offer several affordable payment options. We want to make sure you have the opportunity for good dental health. Plus, decay left untreated will only worsen over time, requiring more invasive procedures down the road. We want to save you unnecessary discomfort and expense in the future.
Will the procedure take long?
Repairing tooth decay is usually completed in one visit. Since less of the original tooth has to be removed, and the composite filling adheres naturally to the original enamel, it generally takes less time than a repair with older filling materials.
What are you waiting for? Dr. Jamie Sands and Dr. Jason Sands are anxious to meet you and show you how easy it is to restore your smile to its former beauty. Please contact our white composite fillings specialist to schedule your free consultation.
