What are the benefits of tooth-colored dental fillings?

Tooth-colored dental fillings:

  • Blend naturally with your existing teeth
  • Preserve more of your natural tooth structure
  • Bond directly to the tooth for added strength
  • Are free of metal and mercury
  • Can be suitable for both front and back teeth
  • Invoke less sensitivity to temperature changes compared to metal fillings
  • Offer quick and painless placement during a single dental visit

How long do composite dental fillings last?

Composite dental fillings typically last 10 or more years, depending on the size of the filling and your oral care habits. Teeth that experience heavy chewing forces, like molars, may need replacements sooner. Brushing twice daily, flossing, and attending regular dental checkups can help extend the life of your fillings. If wear, damage, or sensitivity occurs, we may recommend replacing the filling to protect your tooth’s health.

What are the signs of tooth decay?

Common signs of tooth decay include tooth sensitivity, especially to hot or cold foods, visible holes or pits in your teeth, and pain when chewing. You might also notice discoloration, such as brown or black spots, or experience a persistent toothache. In some cases, there may be no noticeable symptoms until the decay has progressed. That’s why regular dental exams are important for catching decay early before it worsens!

Are dental fillings usually covered by dental insurance?

Most insurance plans cover the cost of dental fillings, especially when they are needed to treat cavities or restore damaged teeth. It’s always a good idea to check with your insurance provider or our office to confirm your specific benefits. Lefler Dental also accepts payment plans, which can be used to divide the cost of composite dental fillings and other restorative treatments into manageable monthly payments.
