About Metal-Free White Fillings
Dental fillings are a quick and affordable way to fix broken, damaged, and decayed teeth. White dental fillings are made from a composite resin material that is similar to the substance used for dental bonding. These white fillings are done chairside with no laboratory involved, unlike dental crowns, bridges, onlays, and inlays.
The material used for white fillings involves a tooth-colored composite material that is hand-crafted and matched to the color of the adjacent teeth. If you are unhappy with the color of the surrounding teeth, we have several teeth whitening options that we can customize according to your sensitivity preferences. Since the filling material does not change color during the whitening process, we recommend whitening your teeth before the dental filling procedure. This will allow your Tennessee Family Dental dentist to guarantee that the final shade of your teeth is a color you are happy with. The Tennessee Family Dental team has dozens of shades to match even the most difficult of tooth colors.
In some situations, dental fillings may be limited in their ability to completely repair your damaged teeth. Additional procedures include crowns, or, in cases where the nerve is damaged, root canal therapy. We offer a free smile evaluation to discuss which option is best for you and your smile.
