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.

-Tooth-colored composite fillings do not contain mercury or other metals which may cause sensitivity or toxic effects.-Some patients have metal sensitivities.

The type of filling has no bearing on the amount of discomfort during the procedure. A tooth-colored filling is no more painful than a traditional filling. In both cases, the affected area is numbed so that you do not feel any discomfort during the procedure.
