Cavities, cracks, fissures and chips all have one thing in common: they render the heart of the tooth – where all the delicates nerves and blood vessels are housed – vulnerable to decay and infection. Any structural weakness in the tooth crown not only makes further damage possible, even with mild pressure or force, but it also provides an excellent refuge for food debris and bacteria, which no amount of brushing can remove. For this reason it is vitally important that patients go for regular check-ups with Colorado dentists, who – should they identify any such weaknesses in the tooth structure – can take restorative action. One such procedure involves the placement of tooth colored fillings in Colorado Springs.

Tooth colored fillings in Colorado Springs, as the name suggests, are created from plastics mixed with glass-like silver dioxide particles, yielding a biocompatible material that is the same color and luster as dental enamel. This material is then used by qualified and experienced Colorado dentists, such as Dr. Morgan and Dr. Rogers, to repair and restore teeth that have become decayed or damaged.

• Tooth colored fillings in Colorado Springs are completely natural, unlike amalgam, which is a dark metallic color and very noticeable in one’s smile.
• Tooth colored fillings in Colorado Springs are exceptionally strong and durable, giving them a longer lifespan.
• Tooth colored fillings in Colorado Springs are bio-compatible and do not contain any mercury, like many traditional restorative materials do.
• Tooth colored fillings in Colorado Springs are bonded very strongly to the tooth structure, which essentially helps to reinforce it, preventing further breakage. This also insulates the tooth – similar to your dental enamel – and prevents the crown sustaining damage as a result of extreme temperature changes.

If you have a cavity, a cracked or chipped tooth, or simply wish to replace your old amalgam or mercury fillings, then tooth colored fillings in Colorado Springs are definitely worth considering! The procedure involved is simple and straight-forward. If you are replacing old fillings, then Colorado dentists Dr. Morgan and Dr. Rogers will begin by removing your old restoration and making sure the remaining tooth structure is completely free of bacteria and decay. They will then prepare the resin composite materials used for restoration; making sure the color closely matches that of your natural dental enamel. This material is placed on the tooth in layers by the Colorado dentists and is then hardened by a special light. The final stage in the placement of tooth colored fillings in Colorado Springs simply involves the shaping of the composite material to flawlessly fit the tooth and to accommodate a comfortable bite. The filling will also be polished to make it more durable and resistant to staining.

Tooth colored fillings in Colorado Springs are great for preserving the health of teeth that have sustained decay or damage. But make sure you book yourself an appointment with Colorado dentists Dr. Morgan and Dr. Rogers once every six months to avoid problems that, if left untreated, can cause severe and permanent damage!
