What Are Dental Fillings?

A dental filling is a standard restorative procedure used to repair a tooth damaged by decay or minor fractures. At Espire Dental Fort Collins, we use composite fillings made from tooth-colored resin that bonds seamlessly with your tooth. This restores the tooth’s function and preserves its natural appearance, making the filling nearly invisible.

Composite fillings offer several advantages, including:

  • Natural appearance: The material matches the color of your teeth, so the filling blends in beautifully.
  • Durability: Composite fillings are strong and long-lasting, making them an excellent choice for both front and back teeth.
  • Minimally invasive: Composite fillings require less healthy tooth structure removal than traditional metal fillings.

What Is Tooth Bonding?

Tooth bonding is a cosmetic procedure that involves applying a tooth-colored resin to the surface of a tooth to repair chips, cracks, gaps, or discoloration. This quick, non-invasive treatment can dramatically improve the appearance of your smile in just one visit. The bonding material is shaped and polished to blend naturally with your surrounding teeth, creating a seamless restoration.

Common uses for tooth bonding include:

  • Repairing chipped or cracked teeth
  • Filling in small gaps between teeth
  • Correcting tooth discoloration
  • Reshaping misshapen teeth
  • Protecting exposed tooth roots due to gum recession

Are composite fillings safe?

Yes, composite fillings are completely safe and made from non-toxic materials. They are a popular choice for their natural appearance and durability.

How long do fillings and bonded teeth last?

Compound fillings and bonded teeth can last many years with proper care. Maintaining good oral hygiene and visiting your dentist regularly will help extend the life of your restorations.

Will my tooth look natural after bonding or a filling?

Absolutely! We use tooth-colored materials that are carefully matched to your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless and natural-looking result.

How do I care for my fillings or bonded teeth?

Caring for fillings and bonded teeth is simple—just brush and floss as you normally would. Avoid biting into hard objects like ice or using your teeth as tools, as this can damage your restorations.

Is tooth bonding painful?

No, tooth bonding is typically a painless procedure that doesn’t require anesthesia unless it’s being used to fill a cavity. The process is quick, and most patients experience little to no discomfort.

How long does a filling or bonding procedure take?

Most filling and bonding treatments can be completed in a single visit, usually within 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the complexity of the case.
