Everyone has different taste and preferences, and those things will largely determine what type of filling works best for you. Of course there are gold and metal fillings. Metal fillings are typically very durable, and hold up over time. However, the shiny surface of these filling materials causes them to stand out when people see your teeth. Maybe you’re fine with that, or maybe you’d prefer a filling that blends in better.
Composite fillings are made up of a resin that matches the color of teeth. This resin is flexible before setting, but then provides a strong filling, like other materials. It’s particularly good for small to mid-size fillings. Composite fillings typically take a little longer to set than other fillings, but once it’s in place, others won’t even know you’ve had a filling. Everyone wants to feel confident about their smile. Maybe a composite filling is right for you.
Then now is the time to act! Dr. Carter and the Elm Creek team will set up an appointment to evaluate any problem areas in your mouth and provide the right restorative treatment. If that treatment involves a filling, Dr. Carter has options for composite fillings so you can feel confident about your smile once more.
