WHITE DENTAL FILLINGS IN CLAREMORE AND BROKEN ARROW

Many older patients are surely familiar with the dark-colored amalgam fillings that were once commonplace in the dental field. Today, our doctors are happy to offer a worthwhile alternative that corrects instances of decay while still allowing you to maintain your natural, beautiful smile. Tooth-colored fillings are crafted from high-quality composite resin, and once they’ve been sculpted into your natural enamel, they’re virtually indistinguishable!

BENEFITS OF TOOTH-COLORED DENTAL FILLINGS

In addition to their remarkably lifelike appearance, tooth-colored fillings offer other benefits over traditional fillings:

Composite resin actually helps to strengthen the remaining dental structure over time, and its conservative nature preserves more of the tooth as well.
The metal-free structure is also less sensitive to sudden changes in temperature, which means they’re more comfortable overall.
With proper care, you can expect your new, tooth-colored fillings to last for seven to ten years or even longer.

MAINTAINING YOUR DENTAL FILLINGS

After having a new, tooth-colored filling placed, patients may experience some mild sensitivity at first that should fade. Our team also recommends that you limit exposure to staining food items like coffee and tea, as this may cause them to become discolored over time.

ARE TOOTH COLORED FILLINGS DURABLE?

On average composite tooth-colored fillings last at least five years, often 10 years or longer. Dr. Torabi bonds them directly to your tooth enamel, so they are especially strong and resistant to wear. As always, your mileage may vary but you can maximize the life span of your fillings by maintaining proper oral hygiene through regular brushing and flossing.

So we found this dentistry and thought we check it out. The staff are very nice, they give you a tour and informative of the dentists and the services they provide. My daughter felt comfortable and noticed the differences from our past dentist. So if she’s all in, I’m going to use the services as well. They were able to get me an initial assessment immediately following my daughters cleaning. I would recommend this dentistry to anyone who is searching for a more detailed and skilled dentistry!

      Each visit with Flawless Smile is so pleasant. The front office staffers all greet me with a friendly “Hello” and smile. I have never waited more than 5 or 10 minutes to get taken back to the dental area by another smiling staff member. I am a different person because of my treatment at Flawless Smile. Different meaning I’m no longer depressed because I don’t have to hide my smile every minute of the day. It’s amazing how being able to smile changes every aspect of my life.

        I have dentures that are screwed in and I was having to go to either Kansas City or Oklahoma City from Tulsa to get them worked on fallstona was able to put these in and keep them clean for me and it's a lot closer than a two or four hour drive. Everyone I've met at the staff and the doctor is great I would recommend this especially if you're looking for dentures.

          I really felt that all employees/staff were more than good to me. Made me feel like family almost and really seemed to care. They definitely wanted me to get the best service possible and I'm excited to go back again. My next appointment will be getting 7 teeth pulled and instead of feeling nervous as I usually do, I feel completely ready to get it done and have total faith in the dentist there to do good work. I know I'm in good hands!

            FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

            Tooth-colored composite fillings bond directly to the natural tooth structure, allowing your dentist to preserve more of the healthy tooth during treatment. Unlike amalgam or silver fillings, composite resin adapts to the tooth’s surface and blends with your tooth color, creating a natural look that works well on both front and back teeth. Patients often prefer them for their appearance, comfort with temperature changes, and compatibility with modern dental technology.
            Your dentist will evaluate the extent of decay, the size of the cavity, and the strength of the surrounding tooth structure. Small cavities and those in visible areas are typically excellent candidates for composite resin fillings, while larger restorations may require additional support such as a dental crown. In limited cases, materials like glass ionomer may be used for specific clinical needs. Your provider will walk through the treatment options and help you make the best choice for long-lasting dental restorations.
            Yes. Modern composite resin has improved significantly, providing durability suitable for back teeth that handle more bite pressure. When bonded with a high-quality etching process and bonding agent, composite fillings reinforce the remaining tooth and help prevent future dental problems. For very large cavities or weakened teeth, your dentist may recommend a stronger restoration to protect the surrounding tooth structure for the long term.
            Old metal fillings or silver amalgam restorations can often be replaced with composite restorations if the natural tooth structure underneath is still healthy. Replacing older materials can brighten the front of the mouth, improve comfort, and eliminate concerns about the amount of mercury in traditional amalgam fillings. Your dentist will examine the dental work you already have and determine whether replacement is safe and beneficial for your oral health.
            With good oral hygiene, regular dental visits, and the use of fluoride toothpaste, most composite fillings last many years. The initial bonding creates a secure seal, but habits like chewing hard objects, grinding teeth, or skipping routine dental care can shorten their lifespan. Maintaining a healthy smile through everyday brushing and flossing helps keep both the filling and the natural teeth around it strong for a long time.
