    Why Choose Tooth-Colored Fillings

    In the past decades, metal fillings (amalgam) were the preferred solution for restoring decayed or damaged teeth. Despite their benefits, such as high resilience and durability, many people complained about the metallic appearance of these fillings. The good news is that our Piscataway team can fix your teeth with tooth-colored dental fillings.

    Unlike metal fillings, they match the natural shade of your teeth, providing cosmetically appealing results. These fillings do not need extensive tooth preparation and can be bonded directly to the tooth surface. Furthermore, they also prevent temperature sensitivity and the risk of metal allergies.

    Types of Tooth-Colored Dental Fillings In Piscataway, NJ

    When you visit our practice, our team will first examine your teeth and discuss your aesthetic preferences. Based on these factors, we will select the best type of tooth-colored fillings for your needs.

    • Composite: It is the most widely used dental material that blends smoothly with the natural shade of your teeth. With composite resin, we can address many dental issues, including chipped, broken, cracked, spaced, or uneven teeth. The treatment process is easy and usually takes a single visit.
    • Porcelain: This material is known for its aesthetic appearance and uncanny resemblance to natural teeth. With porcelain inlays and onlays, we can restore the health and appearance of damaged or decayed teeth. They are also known as indirect fillings, since they require lab preparation.
    • Glass Ionomer Cement (GIC): This type of filling contains a mixture of finely ground glass and acrylic particles. When bonded with teeth, GIC releases fluoride that strengthens the tooth enamel. For this reason, we use this material for the restoration of baby teeth or root cavities. It can also be used as a temporary filling material.
