Dental Fillings in North Dallas
Fillings are one of the most common services we provide here at Premier Smiles. There are numerous reasons why you may need a filling, from regular wear and tear to habits that damage the teeth over time. Fillings repair and restore the surface of a tooth that has suffered from decay, fracture, or wear and tear. There is nothing to be ashamed of, either, since most people need one at some point in their lifetime.
Dr. Ron Katyal and our entire Premier Smiles team have years of experience in cosmetic and family dentistry. In the past, dentists made fillings from a mixture of different materials. Today’s fillings, however, are natural-looking and free of any metal. If caught early on, we can restore cavities with state-of-the-art tooth-colored fillings, giving you a beautiful, natural smile you’ll be proud to show off.
About Our Fillings
Unfortunately, if you leave cavities untreated, they can worsen over time and become too problematic for composite restoration and fillings. When this happens, you may need a crown, root canal therapy, or even a tooth extraction. So, by visiting Dr. Katyal at least twice a year, we can catch cavities in their early stages and recommend tooth-colored fillings.
There is a series of important benefits of tooth-colored fillings that Dr. Katyal wants all of his Dallas patients to be aware of:
- The composite material used for tooth-colored fillings does not discolor or turn black with age
- These types of fillings are far less sensitive to heat and cold than other materials
- Dental fillings are designed to seal the tooth and keep any food, bacteria, or acid from causing further damage
- These types of fillings harden much quicker than metal fillings, allowing you to resume normal activity
- Composite fillings do not contain any mercury
If you are suffering from tooth decay or damage to the teeth, would like to replace mercury fillings, or desire a natural, white smile, please contact Premier Smiles today and ask about our dental fillings services.
