WHITE DENTAL FILLINGS

WITH DENTAL FILLINGS

Smiling Woman Patient — Sarasota, FL — Sterling Dental

If you have a cavity, Dr. David Smith may suggest a dental filling in Sarasota, Florida. The decay is removed from your tooth by our dentist. The area is then cleaned thoroughly and our dentist will fill the area using a dental filling in Sarasota, Florida. We offer white fillings, which are called composite dental fillings, at Sterling Dental. Composite dental fillings are also called tooth-colored dental fillings. They are made from tooth-colored and plastic materials. Our dentist can select a shade of composite resin that will match the shade of your natural teeth.

When placing a dental filling, our dentist will remove the decayed area using a drill, air abrasion instrument, or laser. The space is probed to ensure that all of the decay has been removed. Then our dentist will clear the space of debris and bacteria. The dental filling is then placed. Unlike other dental filling materials, composite dental fillings are placed in layers. Our dentist will cure, or harden, each layer as it is applied. When all of the layers are in place, our dentist will shape the dental filling and trim off any extra material. Our dentist will then polish your final dental filling.
