pediatric fillings PlanoDid you know there is a bio-compatible and natural looking alternative to dark amalgam (metal) fillings? When restoring teeth, our children’s dentist offers pediatric fillings made of composite resin. This material beautifully restores damaged and decayed teeth without sacrificing the appearance of your child’s smile. Our team is proud to offer a number of pediatric dentistry services including restorations like fillings, preventive treatments, and gentle checkups and cleanings.

Why Restoring Teeth is Necessary

Teeth are different from other structures in the body. Even though teeth are mineralized tissue, they do not heal on their own as bone does. Instead, when a tooth is affected by an injury or a cavity, its interior structures are vulnerable to further damage until a professional treats the tooth with a restoration. If decay deepens or if a broken tooth goes unrepaired, a patient may develop an infected root canal or a serious infection such as an abscess. Restorations like fillings protect the structural integrity of a tooth and prevent potential oral health complications. Moreover, restorations improve oral function so that patients can eat and speak comfortably.

Benefits of Tooth-Colored Fillings

In the past, the most common method for placing a filling involved using a compound called amalgam. Made of a mixture of metals, amalgam is dark and conspicuous. Today, however, patients have more options when it comes to restorations. A great alternative to amalgam is composite resin. This material is comprised of a mixture of plastic and glass. Composite resin is tintable, too. This means that the color of a tooth-colored restoration will blend in seamlessly with the color of the biological tooth structure. These pediatric fillings are very durable as well.

Receiving a composite resin filling is minimally invasive. Our team makes an effort to promote a comfortable and welcoming environment for children. We use the latest techniques and technology to provide high quality oral healthcare.
