If you’ve ever had a cavity filled, you know that the end result is a whole tooth that doesn’t hurt any longer. Of course, you are left with noticeable filling material that may not match your natural tooth color.
That doesn’t exactly do wonders for your smile. And if you have a large cavity filled, then the filling itself is pretty hard to miss. This may affect your self-esteem and how you perform or act in many different social situations.
The good news is that you have other options.
Go with gold
Depending on where you’re at, you can often ask a dentist about gold fillings. Yes, these are made from real gold. Of course, these will cost more, but they have their benefits. Gold is a soft material that easily forms to your teeth. Gold also provides a distinctive appearance.
Composite resin
This is the option that Dr. Chan is likely to recommend if you want a discreet filling. This composite resin is made from a variety of materials that combine to make a tooth-colored resin that’s strong and useful.
Here at Advanced Dental Arts, we’ve seen the benefits that quality fillings may provide. We recommend these different options because they can be effective options. They may help improve your smile and address issues caused by cavities. To learn more, call us today at 617-934-4952.
