Dental Fillings

As one of the most common treatments we offer, dental fillings are an excellent solution to cavities caused by dental decay. At Artistic Smiles, we use composite dental fillings in Longmont, Colorado, to better color match your smile. Schedule a visit at our dental office
with our dentist, Dr. Trey Thygerson, by calling us at 303-485-8888.

Here at Artistic Smiles, we have chosen to use composite, or tooth-colored, dental fillings to repair and restore your teeth. Composite fillings have many advantages over amalgam fillings, including:

A more aesthetic final result
The use of a filling material that bonds to your tooth and provides more support for the tooth
Reduced risk of the treated tooth breaking or fracturing in the future
Better seals around the edges of the damaged area, leading to an increased resistance to decay and leaks
The ability to repair cavities that are too small for amalgam fillings
Repairs or replacements that can be completed without removing the filling from the tooth
A safer and healthier treatment, as no mercury or other metals are used
A treatment that promotes better long-term oral health

When you receive a composite filling, our dentist will carefully select a shade of filling material that matches your natural tooth color. Your damaged tooth will then be thoroughly cleaned and any damaged tissue removed before the filling is placed. We will then cure, or harden, the filling and polish it to complete your treatment. You should be able to receive your filling in just one appointment.

If you have any questions about composite dental fillings or would like to schedule an appointment with our dentist, give us a call today!
