More on White Fillings (White Restorations) using Bonding
Having a cavity doesn't have to mean having a mouth full of metal. New tooth-colored "white fillings" are more durable
and far more aesthetically pleasing than the old choice, silver amalgam. Dr Khan can match the color of the filling with
your natural tooth color, making the dental work virtually undetectable.
Not only can he fill new cavities with white fillings, but he can also replace your old metal fillings with the newer,
stronger, and more attractive white fillings.
Procedure
The bonding procedure is usually completed in one visit. The first step is to remove the decayed or unsightly portion of
the tooth. The tooth is then etched with a liquid or gel and a bonding agent is then applied.
This will allow the composite resin to be placed in the prepared tooth. The resin is then trimmed and polished, leaving you
with a beautifully sculpted, natural-looking restoration. There are no restrictions on eating or drinking after the filling.
