What Is Restorative Dentistry?

Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing and replacing teeth to improve their appearance and functionality. From small cavities to extensive damage, these treatments help you eat, speak, and smile with confidence again.

Tooth-Colored Fillings: Simple Repairs for Healthy Smiles

When cavities strike, dental fillings are often the go-to solution. Fillings repair small areas of tooth decay, restoring the tooth’s strength and preventing further damage.

We use tooth-colored composite fillings, which are durable, metal-free, and natural-looking. These fillings are an excellent option for anyone looking to maintain a natural-looking smile while addressing dental issues. We also replace your previous silver amalgam fillings with composite ones!

Restorative dentistry in Troy, MI, can repair and completely restore the function and appearance of damaged, decayed, or imperfect teeth. Our restorative treatments include dental bonding, composite fillings, dental crowns, and much more. Here are some of the benefits of opting for restorative dentistry.

Timely restorations protect your teeth from worsening issues, such as infections or fractures, saving you from more complex treatments down the road.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are composite fillings as durable as traditional metal fillings?

Metal amalgam fillings are known for their durability, especially in back teeth that take the brunt of chewing forces. However, because composite fillings are bonded directly to your tooth, they are also extremely durable.

Understanding Tooth-Colored Fillings in Troy

Composite resin has become the material that most patients choose for dental fillings for several reasons. Composite fillings offer several additional advantages over amalgam fillings:

Aesthetics — Our dentists can customize composite resin to match your tooth's natural color, which complements your smile.
Preserves natural tooth structure — Composite resin fillings don't require our dentists to remove as much natural tooth structure for placement, which keeps the tooth strong.
No temperature sensitivity— Metal fillings expand and contract with temperature changes in the mouth. This can cause them to pull away from the tooth, allowing bacteria back in.
Versatility — Our dentists can use composite resin for fillings of different sizes, as well as for fixing small cosmetic flaws like chipped teeth or tooth size discrepancies.
