Tooth-Colored Fillings in Sterling Heights, MI

A Healthy Smile Without Cavities

Without maintaining a proper oral hygiene routine, plaque can quickly begin to build up on your teeth and lead to decay. Eventually, tooth decay will result in small holes in the enamel — also known as cavities. Without treatment, cavities can cause several health complications including tooth loss. 

To avoid experiencing health issues due to cavities, it’s crucial that you seek treatment as soon as a cavity is detected. If you have decayed teeth, Dr. Hindi can restore their strength and appearance with the help of composite fillings.

What Is a Composite Filling?

The dental industry has traditionally used metal amalgam fillings as the go-to method of treating cavities. While these restorations have been the tried-and-true strategy for cavity treatment throughout the past decades, many patients dislike their noticeable appearance and the fact that they contain mercury.  

At Sterling Heights Dentistry, we offer tooth-colored fillings, also known as composite fillings, as a natural-looking alternative. Our fillings are made from a durable composite resin that’s customized to match the shade of your tooth, creating a flawless appearance. Tooth-colored fillings don’t contain mercury, so you can rest assured knowing that your health is protected.

Benefits of Tooth-Colored Fillings

Tooth-colored fillings provide patients with a variety of benefits, including:

  • Natural appearance
  • Personalized specifically for your smile
  • Bonded directly to your tooth
  • Preserves more of your natural tooth structure

The Filling Process

In most cases, Dr. Hindi is able to complete a tooth-colored filling in one appointment at our Sterling Heights office. We’ll begin by applying a local anesthetic to numb the targeted tooth, ensuring you won’t feel any pain during the procedure. We’ll also remove any decayed tissue from your tooth to eliminate the risk of infection. 

Once the affected tooth is clean, Dr. Hindi will bond the composite resin directly to your tooth and shape it to seamlessly blend with your surrounding smile. After the filling is secured, you can enjoy all the benefits of a cavity-free, healthy smile.
