Contact UsWhat Are Tooth-Colored Fillings?
Dental cavities are created when bacteria attack your enamel. Previously, cavities were filled with an amalgam material, a mixture of metals, like mercury or silver. Now we know that these fillings do not bond fully with the teeth and the mercury may be hazardous to your health. At Contemporary Dentistry, our dental experts offer tooth-colored fillings made from a composite resin to fill cavities and protect the tooth. We can also take out metal fillings and apply tooth-colored fillings for a safer and more attractive treatment for cavities.
What To Expect with Tooth-Colored Fillings
Receiving a tooth-colored filling at Contemporary Dentistry is generally a simple procedure. The area surrounding the cavity will be numbed to help you feel more comfortable. Stronger sedation methods can be discussed for any fears or anxieties to keep you relaxed. After you're ready, the affected enamel can be treated using a unique dental drill that your dental provider will select based on the location of the cavity in the tooth and the level of decay. Once the enamel is removed and the tooth is cleaned, the cavity will be replaced with the composite resin material and hardened. We can also smooth the filling material so it feels comfortable and matches your natural teeth.
Contemporary Dentistry Reviews
I have been a patient of Contemporary Dentistry (Dr. Morales) for many years and my experience with his practice has been very positive (especially considering I do not enjoy dental work). He has always made me aware of options for treatment. Over the years, he has always reassured me during instances where I may need a filling, root canal, crown and most recently a dental implant. The staff at Contemporary Dentistry, including hygienist Amy and office personnel are very professional and considerate. Dr. Abril did the implant procedure and his expertise and followup care was especially appreciated. My experience with this practice is such that I have not explored other options for my dental care and consistently see them for my regular checkups. If there are any concerns between regular visits, all I have to do is phone the office and an appointment is available very quickly. I am very happy with the service I have receive from Contemporary Dentistry of Manassas and recommend them without reservation.
We found Dr. Morales after we switched insurance and it has been the best decision we have made. The kids love it and the staff is friendly.
best attention recommended 100%
Dr. Diego Morales is hands down the beat dentist in the area. Super gentle, and made my experience stress free. Thank you Dr. Morales for keeping my teeth healthy!
Family friendly! Great job making my child feel comfortable and answering all questions.
