Seamless ProcessDental Fillings in Murfreesboro, TN
Your smile is one of the first things people notice about you, so it’s important to keep it healthy and bright. Unfortunately, cavities and tooth damage can get in the way of a beautiful smile. At Barfield Crescent Dental, we understand the importance of maintaining your oral health, which is why we offer dental fillings to restore your teeth to their natural function and appearance.
Types of Tooth Fillings
Composite Fillings
Composite fillings, on the other hand, are made of a mixture of plastic and glass. They can be shaded to match the color of your teeth, making them a more natural-looking option. Composite fillings are also more versatile than amalgam fillings, as they can be used for small to medium-sized cavities, as well as for chipped or broken teeth.
Ceramic Fillings
Ceramic fillings are made of porcelain and are the most natural-looking option available. They are often used for the front teeth, where they will be more visible. Ceramic fillings are also highly durable, making them a long-lasting choice for tooth fillings.
Amalgam Fillings
Amalgam fillings are made of a combination of metals, including silver, copper, tin, and mercury. They are durable and long-lasting, making them a popular choice for tooth fillings. However, they are silver in color, making them more noticeable in your mouth.
Our Tooth Filling Process
The Benefits of Tooth Fillings
- Restoring the natural function of your teeth: Tooth fillings are used to repair damaged or decayed teeth, restoring their natural function and ability to chew and bite properly.
- Preventing further damage and decay: Dental fillings can prevent further damage and decay by filling in the diseased part of the tooth and protecting it from further harm.
- Improving the appearance of your teeth: Modern dental fillings are available in a variety of colors and translucencies, which allows them to be matched to the color of your existing teeth.
- Reducing the risk of bone loss: If tooth decay is left untreated, it can eventually lead to bone loss in the jaw, which dental fillings can prevent from happening.
