TOOTH COLORED FILLINGS

Natural, Life-Like Dental Fillings Hand Crafted to Restore Your Tooth

How we diagnose cavities at our office?

We use a laser cavity detector to let you know how deep a cavity goes in your tooth? This helps catch cavities, with the intention of preventing a root canal.

Why Do I Need a Tooth Colored Filling?

Cavities are bound to happen on teeth with deep grooves or lack of proper oral health care at some point in life.

Whether it is genetics, lack of salivary flow, dietary changes throughout life, lack of protective sealants or long periods between dental hygiene cleanings, cavities happen.

Most dental situations with these cavities simply require removing the decay and filling in the removed area.

In prior decades, dentists would fill your tooth with an amalgamation of different metals. These are lovingly referred to as “Silver Fillings”, however, almost all contain Mercury and other toxins.

At Open Late Dentistry, we believe in using only the latest in technology and the highest standard of care, and only place esthetic, tooth-colored composite fillings or ceramic, lab-made, fillings.

These are more natural looking, life-like and will resemble the tooth, while remaining strong.

These materials are safer and most importantly look much more natural when you are having a conversation with others.


Reasons to not hold off if you have dental anxiety

DR. ROUSE PLANS EVERY CASE BEFORE IT STARTS


Dr. Rouse virtually plans your dental implant surgery while you are sipping your morning coffee. This makes the day of surgery a smooth transition.

At Open Late Dentistry, We Believe Catching a Cavity When It Is Small in The Enamel Is Much More Conservative for the Tooth and Financially Than Avoiding It Until It Reaches The Nerve or A Dental Implant is Indicated


Tooth-colored composite fillings do not contain mercury or other metals which may cause sensitivity or toxic effects.

-Some patients have metal sensitivities.

Tooth Colored Filling F.A.Q.'s

What can I eat after?

Dental professionals suggest having a ‘soft diet’ in the first few days after getting a filling, or at least for the first 24 hours. These are foods that do not require a lot of chewing force or crunching, which helps to preserve the filling and prevent it from cracking or loosening. These are the types of foods we recommend

How long do I have to wait before eating?

We recommend waiting at least 2 hours after having the filling placed before eating. You should avoid chewing in the area of the filling for around 24 hours.
