What Happens at The First Appointment?
Getting a tooth-colored filling typically requires just one appointment. Your Naples dentist may remove a very minor amount of tooth structure to maximize the adhesion of the composite resin to the tooth. A tooth conditioning agent may be applied to the prepared tooth, followed by the application of an adhesive agent and the resin. Your dentist will contour the resin to produce the desired aesthetic appearance and expose it to a special laser or curing light to harden it instantly.
Caring for Tooth-Colored Fillings
Teeth filled with composite resin should receive the same meticulous care as natural teeth, consisting of regular brushing, flossing, and professional preventive treatments to maintain their proper health and appearance.
