Tooth-Colored Fillings
Are you embarrassed by unsightly metal fillings? Dr. Kavianpour can replace your worn, metal amalgams with attractive and durable tooth-colored fillings. Made of composite resin, tooth-colored fillings will return your all-white smile.
Dr. Kavianpour fills teeth with composite resins (tooth-colored fillings), because this material is strong, long lasting, and can withstand heat and pressure. Amalgam/metal fillings are temperature-sensitive and can cause your teeth to fracture or crack as the material expands and contracts. If bacteria or food particles lodge in a crack and cause tooth decay, root canal therapy or a crown may be necessary to save the tooth from extraction.
Modern, esthetic dental materials and conservative dentistry are always the best options. If we find a cavity during your exam, Dr. Kavianpour will recommend restoring your tooth with a tooth-colored filling. In most cases, fillings are placed in a single office visit.
Dr. Kavianpour welcomes your family. If you're in the Sterling, Lansdowne area, call our dental office today to schedule your comprehensive exam.
