Stop Decay and Restore Your Smile with Natural-looking Composite Fillings

The unsightly look of silver-colored fillings can tarnish even the most beautiful smile. Our offices provide exceptional dental restorations to ensure your smile retains its natural appearance.

Albrecht Dentistry in West Bend, Wisconsin, offers tooth-colored fillings to treat dental decay. Composite resin fillings can closely match the color of the natural teeth when used to restore your smile. Plus, they bond optimally with the tooth, adding strength and helping to restore the original integrity of the tooth. 

Why do composite fillings create life-looking results?

With composite, we can use various colored resin materials, allowing us to achieve a natural, lifelike appearance for your smile. By carefully selecting the resin shade that matches your natural tooth color, we can seamlessly blend the filling with your surrounding teeth, ensuring a harmonious and aesthetically pleasing result.

And that’s not all. When using tooth-colored fillings, we have a range of options beyond just different shades or colors. We also can adjust the opacity or translucency of the filling material to achieve the most natural appearance possible. When we choose the appropriate opacity level, we can mimic the natural translucency of your teeth, allowing light to pass through like your natural enamel. Whether you need a filling for a visible front tooth or a less conspicuous molar, we can tailor the opacity of the filling material to match the unique characteristics of your smile.

Caring for your restorations

Tooth-colored fillings can last many years with proper care. Fortunately, caring for a filling isn’t hard. To keep your fillings healthy, do the following:

• Brush twice daily
• Floss every day, especially before bedtime
• Visit a dentist every six months
• Wear a mouthguard if you chronically grind your teeth (especially at night)
• Avoid smoking because it can stain your restorations
• Don’t use your teeth to open packages or bite fingernails

Tooth decay can happen at any age. Our office delivers exceptional approaches for every dental procedure to ensure you get the best possible results, even for fillings.
