Long-Lasting Restorative Solutions
Restorative Dental Fillings in Clawson, MI
Dental fillings are a proactive measure you can take to prevent further tooth decay and other, more serious problems. With many types of filling materials available, you’re sure to find the best one for your aesthetic and oral health goals. At My Family Dental in Clawson, MI, our dentists can suggest the best option for restoring your teeth.
One of these options, composite fillings, is the most widely used today. Because they are tooth-colored, they can be closely matched to the color of the existing tooth. They are best suited for use in front teeth or more visible areas of the mouth. To learn if this option is right for you, contact us to schedule an initial consultation today.
High-Quality Filling Materials
Fillings are a customizable way to enhance your smile. You can have tooth fillings made from different materials, such as gold, silver amalgam, porcelain, and tooth-colored composite resin. Each has its own cosmetic and health-related benefits. Gold cast and silver amalgam fillings are more noticeable, while tooth-colored composite resin fillings typically blend in with your natural teeth. Porcelain fillings usually keep their coloring for a longer period of time than composite resin, though, since they’re more stain-resistant.
Regardless of which option you choose, the dental professionals at My Family Dental in Clawson, MI, will provide you with the best care possible. Using advanced techniques, we restore the strength and appearance of your teeth, which supports your overall dental health for years to come. To start experiencing the difference that high-quality dental fillings can make, contact us to schedule an appointment today.
