Restorative Dentistry and Replacement Teeth

Tooth-Colored Fillings

Don’t let a cavity ruin your smile. Dental decay can cause acute pain and compromise your oral health. Our dentists use esthetically pleasing tooth-colored composite resin fillings to repair teeth damaged by decay.

You’ll receive a comprehensive tooth-by-tooth exam to check for cavities and assess the integrity of existing fillings. In situations when decay has been diagnosed in the earliest stages, we may use air abrasion to prepare teeth for restoration. If you need a new filling or want metal ones replaced, your dentist will tint a small amount of composite resin to match your natural tooth color and bond it into your prepared cavity. The result is a strong, healthy, beautiful restoration that won’t warp or change shape and is impervious to decay.

Call our Leawood dental office today to schedule your tooth-colored fillings appointment with Dr. Schutte or Dr. McKnight.
