Contact UsWhat Are Tooth-Colored Fillings?
Dental cavities are a common problem that develop when bacteria erodes your tooth enamel. Previously, cavities were treated with a material called amalgam, a mixture of different metals, like mercury or silver. Now we know that these fillings do not bond very well with the enamel and the mercury is dangerous to your health. At OraCare Dentistry, Dr. Savitha Bathini uses tooth-colored fillings, inlays, and onlays made from a composite resin to fill and protect cavities. Onlays are placed over the top, upper edges of a tooth, also known as the cusp, while inlays are designed to cover the indented middle part of a tooth. If you have a cavity that needs to be treated and would like to learn more about the tooth-colored fillings we provide, make an appointment at our Plano, TX office.
What Can I Expect from Tooth-Colored Fillings?
Receiving a tooth-colored filling at OraCare Dentistry is typically a quick process. The area surrounding the cavity will be numbed with a local anesthetic to help you feel more comfortable. Other forms of sedation may be discussed if you have any fears to help keep you relaxed during the procedure. After you are prepared, the affected enamel is removed using a special drill that Dr. Bathini will choose based on where the cavity is located and the amount of decay. After the enamel is treated and the tooth is disinfected, the cavity will be filled with the composite material and set with a special light. Dr. Bathini will polish the composite resin so it matches your other teeth.
OraCare Dentistry Reviews
Everyone here is super professional and very welcoming! Having a lot of anxiety going into the appointment, they were very reassuring and patient along the way. Definitely would recommend this practice to anyone!
Dr. Bathini and her staff are the BEST! She is extremely thorough, has amazing bedside manner, and you truly feel cared for. Her office is immaculately clean and she uses really state of the art technology to take images and x-rays of your mouth. She also spent a lot of time TEACHING me about my mouth and proper brushing technique. Her staff is also very warm, and kind. They offered me water while I was waiting and made me feel very comfortable before seeing the doctor. I only come to Plano a few times a year, but I wish I lived here because I would go to her all of the time!
Great experience! The staff was very accommodating and nice. They put on a movie and explained everything about my oral health in friendly terms. Highly recommend!
The staff is amazing, the doctor is soo informative. I’ve always had a bad experience with my doctors but Oracare has been equal parts homey and professional for my needs. I highly recommend.
We have an absolute great experience with Oracare dentistry starting from booking the appointments till we are done with our dental procedures.
