Benefits of Tooth-Colored Fillings:
The Filling Procedure at Expressway Dental
Your comfort is our priority. We use appropriate anesthesia to ensure you don't feel a thing. Once numb, we gently remove any decay. Our goal is alway to preserve as much of your healthy tooth as possible.
We prepare the tooth for the filling. Next, we apply the tooth-colored resin in layers. We carefully shape it to match your natural tooth. A special light is used to harden it.
Finally, we polish the filling.. It will look and feel natural! You'll leave with a restored and healthy smile.
Mercury Free Dental Fillings Oakland Gardens
While some dentists use amalgam (silver) fillings, here at Expressway Dental we exclusively offer all-white composite fillings. These natural-looking treatments preserve the beauty of your smile while being mercury-free and minimally invasive, making them a healthier alternative to traditional amalgam fillings.
Your Dental Filling Treatment
When Dr. Bral detects decay, he'll develop a personalized treatment plan. For cavities caught early, the procedure is typically straightforward:
First, your tooth will be numbed with local anesthetic. Dr. Bral will then remove any bacteria and damaged enamel. The cleaned cavity is filled with white composite resin, carefully matched to blend with your natural tooth color.
Most patients can resume normal activities after a few hours, though larger fillings may cause mild sensitivity for several days.
