As the years go by, this obvious visual will probably become less frequent as tooth-colored fillings continue to rise in popularity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many people appreciate the low-key nature of these fillings in that other people likely won\u2019t be able to see them. There\u2019s more to selecting this variety of cavity repair than appearance, however.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep reading to learn some advantages of choosing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beliveaudental.com\/tooth-colored-fillings.html\">tooth-colored fillings<\/a> in North Andover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tooth-Colored Fillings Sidestep Sensitivity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Composite fillings cause less tooth sensitivity than amalgam fillings. The resin provides a shield against the hot and cold temperatures of foods and drinks. It\u2019s rare this type of filling will cause sensitivity, and if it does, it will be mild and temporary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tooth-Colored Fillings are Less Invasive<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Other types of fillings require a significant portion of the tooth to be removed along with the infected portion. Amalgam fillings don\u2019t bond with the tooth, so extra drilling of a healthy tooth is needed to create ledges to lock the filling in place. A composite filling joins with the natural tooth to make it stronger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Composite Fillings Harden Quickly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The procedure for this type of filling is shorter than any other. The special light used immediately hardens the layers of composite resin. Other filling types require much more time to get cured for normal functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tooth-Colored Fillings Bond with Existing Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The natural tooth is prepped with a bonding agent, the composite resin is inserted, and then it adheres with the tooth enamel as it hardens. This not only makes your teeth more structurally sound, but also more durable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Composite Fillings Go Easy on Your Pocketbook<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tooth-colored fillings are usually less expensive than other varieties. Medium-to-small composite fillings typically have a similar lifespan to metal amalgam \u2013 7-10 years. Less painful for your mouth and your wallet!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are plenty of reasons to select tooth-colored fillings besides the fact they look natural and discreet. So, if you\u2019re struggling with a cavity or two, don\u2019t hesitate to ask your dentist in North Andover if this tooth-saving treatment is right for you! &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.beliveaudental.com\/meet-the-dentist.html\">Dr. Charles Beliveau<\/a> is a proud native of North Andover and he\u2019s thrilled to have served his community daily for decades.
