Dental Fillings in Winter Park, FL
To prevent further decay, a cavity must be treated and filled. Rather than using unsightly fillings that draw attention, the dentists at Anderson Family Dental offer tooth-colored fillings and dental bondings to restore the strength and natural appearance of your smile.
About Composite Dental Fillings
Composite dental fillings are a restorative and cosmetic dental treatment for patients suffering from tooth decay. Cavities are a common sign of tooth decay and can worsen quickly if left untreated. As decay progresses, it may cause the tooth to crack, chip, or require more complex treatment such as a root canal or dental crown. Regular exams and cleanings at our Winter Park dental office help detect cavities early before they become more serious.
At Anderson Family Dental, we provide durable, tooth-colored composite fillings to restore teeth affected by cavities, decay, or minor trauma. Composite fillings blend seamlessly with your natural tooth color and help restore strength and function while maintaining a natural appearance. Our dentists are committed to providing honest, patient-focused care to help you maintain a healthy, confident smile.
How Dental Fillings Treat Tooth Decay
IT STARTS WITH A DENTAL EXAM
It can be difficult to detect tooth decay on your own. It tends to start small; it can also start between teeth. Because cavities are easy to miss, it is essential to visit your Winter Park dentist on schedule. The sooner we treat the decay, the better chance you have of preventing a deep root cavity or losing your tooth.
TREATMENT IS EASY
Treating tooth decay is a simple process. Our dentists will make you feel comfortable with anesthetic. You may ask the dentist about sedation dentistry options, if you feel concerned about the procedure.
REMOVE DECAY & FILL
Our dentist will next, prepare the tooth by cleaning out any decay and then filling it with the composite material. Our goal at Anderson Family Dental is for you to have a comfortable experience during your procedure.
Cosmetic Treatments with Dental Fillings and Bonding
The same composite resin we use to create tooth-colored fillings can also bond your teeth, which is an inexpensive way to upgrade your smile dramatically.
Tooth bonding can be used to correct the following concerns:
✓ Conceal chips or cracks in your teeth
✓ Cover tooth discoloration
✓ Close gaps and spaces between our teeth
✓ Change the shape of your teeth
Tooth bonding is minimally invasive and cost effective compared to other cosmetic dental procedures.
Reduce the Need for Dental Fillings by Lowering Your Risk for Cavities
Most people will have a cavity at some point in their lives. However, there are steps you can take to lower your risks.
Brush at least twice each day and floss once per day
Reduce sugary or acidic food and drinks. If you do indulge, add another brush and floss session.
