Tooth Colored Fillings by Beaverton Oregon Dentist Dr. Alan Montrose, DMD – Cosmetic Dentists in Beaverton, Portland, Oregon (OR)

Tooth Colored Fillings

Here at Smiles Northwest, we take your oral health and your overall health and well-being very seriously. This is just one reason we’re proud to offer our valued patients tooth-colored fillings.

Boasting aesthetic and health benefits that metal fillings cannot, tooth colored fillings are also more durable. Because of this added resilience, natural-looking fillings are less likely to crack from repeated chewing than metal fillings, preventing potentially harmful bacteria from entering your body. Likewise, tooth-colored fillings do not expand like their metal predecessors, which can cause the filled tooth to crack or even break.

By matching the filling color to your tooth, Beaverton dentists, Drs. Montrose and Dotson at Smiles Northwest can provide you with fillings that not only treat your cavity, but work to enhance the appearance of your treated tooth. Tooth-colored fillings can be used to treat new cavities or to replace older ones – whether because of the age, related wear and tear, or because you desire a more natural look, tooth colored fillings are more pleasing than the shiny metal or worn fillings that detract from your smile.

Natural-Looking, Healthier Alternative

Composite resin fillings provided by Dr. Montrose and Dr. Dotson are designed to match the natural color of your own teeth. Bonded to your tooth, this type of filling requires the removal of less tooth structure than silver fillings, allowing you to keep more of your natural tooth structure. Another benefit: tooth-colored fillings add strength to the treated tooth.
